Birmingham-based Graphic Designer & Photographer.

Graphic Design started through graffiti for me initially around 2011/2012. It started with Photography which came simply from documenting my paintings and days out with friends; I soon found a romance between shooting underground shots and film as a format. I soon fell in love with freezing these moments in time forever. During this time, I was producing music using old samplers, synths, and vinyl sampling. I had already developed a passion for using older traditions in music and photography, and they soon became intertwined. I enjoyed shooting through the night, painting and shooting while mentally fusing a soundscape into the imagery I was shooting, beginning to mentally develop design concepts to merge together.

My dream has always been to press my music to vinyl; I have always been self-sufficient and wanted to create everything myself, from the music to the design concepts and video imagery as well as the record label I would release them on. This led me to teach myself Design. I started by taking black and white
photographs whilst painting, this first started so I didn’t have to use Google Images, mainly shooting urban city shots; street photography mixed with the graffiti made for a good match with the album artwork, sound and style. I would return home and play around with layouts, layering typefaces and typography to create these early vinyl cover developments & visual art concepts.

Over the years, I pushed my creativity further and have always designed with an end goal in mind whether I creating a T-shirt or a Logo.
I began to love the whole process of creating something from nothing, birthing a brand from one idea I’ve had whether that be something conceptual or something I would like to launch. May that be a record label idea, streetwear brand, made-up business ideas, merchandise companies and more, I fell in love with creating the visual of an idea as much as the product ideations themselves. I slowly taught myself all disciplines of design including;
Logo Design, Art Direction, Merch/Clothing, Branding, Color Theory, Flyers, Publications, Music Covers, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, Video, Videography & Editing, Websites & more. I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and InDesign.

I have been working freelance since early 2019 and designing since 2012, I founded and launched my company Word Of Mouth Press in 2019.

I continue to merge the processes of sound, picture and design.

I first reached out to Word Of Mouth through a friend who mentioned them during a creative discussion. I had an established street brand and was looking for a new designer to work with on a collection that was due to be released in Selfridges. We arranged a meeting and bonded instantaneously; I knew they were perfect for the job. Post-meeting, I sent them a brief outlining 12 design ideas for them to explore within an incredibly tight deadline.

Once the designs were complete, we discussed collections, target markets, current markets, wearability and previous sales within the company. Based on our discussions, three designs were selected for production. They then designed tech packs for each collection, including tracksuits, t-shirts, varsity jackets, trench coats, crossbody bags, beanies, and socks centred on the three selected designs. The Tech Packs were then sent to the Selfridges buying and marketing team and our manufacturer in China.

The Word of Mouth Press team worked around the clock for me to ensure we met deadlines and the whole process ran smoothly.
After some time, they began helping me with my social media and brand marketing. Shortly after receiving the final products from the manufacturer, we discussed shooting some promo videos for the concession and our online platforms. We met in London, and they shot various relative BTS footage throughout the day, including the products at the concession at Selfridges, Oxford Street.

The entire experience with Word of Mouth Press was handled with care, precision, phenomenal creative output and attention to detail.
They exceeded my expectations and gained some friends during the process. Honestly, I cannot fault these guys; they go above and beyond! It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering working with them.

I am a Graphic Designer with over
10 years of experience working with some leading music artists in the industry.
Most recently, we used Word Of Mouth Press for behind-the-scenes photography & graffiti art within a music video for Birmingham's Jaykae & Mike Skinner. Their task for the project was to deface a police riot van with graffiti; for the video, they also took BTS photos and 8mm footage; we had a group of Birmingham City Football Clubs Zulu Army come down to feature in the video. I am reaffirming their work and ability to fulfil a brief to a great standard. Working with Word Of Mouth Press was a pleasant experience.

My name is Taylor Cheverall, I am the owner of an events brand called Folly Ltd. I work as a Graphic Designer at Ministry Of Sound.
I would like to express my experience dealing with Daniel and Word of Mouth Studio and can wholeheartedly say my experience was an exceptionally good one. We recently hired Daniel to create Artwork to use as marketing material for our promotional event campaign. I’d like to highlight Daniel’s enthusiasm and dedication to the project was really professional, overachieving and extremely punctual. I’d be happy to work with Daniel again. Solely based on his correct work ethic.
I would trust Daniel to meet my project briefs and perform well with great results.

I highly recommend Word Of Mouth Press for
any graphic design work. I have known them for 10+ years and could not think of a better team to complete any work required.
Word Of Mouth Press has been my go-to for every design work I've needed over the past 5+ years, from event flyers for my label, logo work for my projects and even one-off website tour posters. Not only does their work hold up online, but it also looks spot on when printed on large scales. Their turnaround time exceeds expectations, and they're always on hand to give advice and make any necessary changes. I have the utmost trust in them and know that each project WOMP undertake will be treated with care and consideration.

I've known the guys at WOMP for a while, so it made sense to go to them for anything graphic design-related since I was already aware of their work standards. We needed a logo creation plus a series of event flyers. We wanted them all to be different but, at the same time, remain consistent with the overall theme of the event. Following the initial concept meeting, we kept an open line of communication to ensure ideas and feedback were exchanged freely. I will continue to recommend Word of Mouth Press wherever possible to keep Birmingham-based independent businesses alive and thriving because the bottom line is THEY DO GOOD WORK!

I was recommended the applicant through a friend and have not been disappointed. My relationship with the applicant was seamless through mutual friends and similar interests. Any idea I had was swiftly converted into accurate visualisation, any criticism or further ideas I had were handled professionally, and the response time was immaculate. They provided various renditions of the work required and helped with brainstorming to take my idea further. The quality of work received was above and beyond expectations. I fully and wholeheartedly believe anyone requesting or deciding whether to work with them will be looked after, personally and professionally.

I am the owner and Head Chef of a Jamaican takeaway in. Birmingham called Smokeys; I had my logo designed by Word Of Mouth Press and couldn't be happier. I gave them the name and a little about my character, and quickly, the logo was made and needed no adjustments. I was so pleased with it, it was perfect. The design stage took about 1-2 weeks, and in that time, they created my logo, menu, and loyalty card and came into the restaurant and painted the logo on the main wall using spray paint; it was a great experience with them.

As a record label owner, I have used Word of Mouth press a handful of times for releases through the label and have been over the moon with the results. Most recently, Word Of Mouth fully designed and briefed a 7" Vinyl design for my Label "Everything Is Perfect Records", including logos and vinyl specifics. I was so happy with the results. They have my regular custom now. I have full faith in Word of Mouth’s ability to complete any jobs given to them to a great standard.
In conclusion, Word of mouth press are an extremely competent forward-thinking and
client-based company with proven results.

Everything Is Perfect Records

I began working with Word Of Mouth Press in June 2020. I recommend them for any graphic design work you may need. I contacted them through their Instagram page with a short brief to create a logo and promotional video for my online radio brand, Midnight Runner Radio. They were highly communicative and provided multiple design options following my brief. They produced the work efficiently and to a tight deadline, and I am thrilled with the finished design. They will be highly creative and complete your brief perfectly.
