We are more than a design studio . . .

Since its inception in 1985, Sunset Digital has developed a strong reputation through its focus on quality and technical capability.

Sunset’s unique combination of contemporary design talent and a multi-skilled production team—which includes layout and proofreading specialists—differentiates us from run-of-the-mill marketing and design studios. Great design and layout, combined with correct use of the English language, is what defines us. Descriptive words such as ‘accuracy’, ‘correct interpretation’, ‘consistency throughout’ and ‘great layout and design’ are often used by our clients in unsolicited feedback. We pride ourselves on maintaining an industry edge by adopting the latest technology, producing quality publications in both print and digital form.

What makes us different? . . . a publishing background

It is our extensive background in publishing that separates us from our competitors. Publishing houses demand high-quality results, usually on very tight timelines. As a preferred service supplier to many of Australia’s leading publishing companies, we have earned our reputation for both quality and reliability, producing many reference manuals, educational books, technical reports, scientific publications, law books and ‘coffee table’ books. We are one of only four Australian companies that maintain preferred supplier status with the largest book publishers, and are by far the most respected in Queensland. Through our multi-skilled team, we apply this same approach and knowledge to ensure all our clients receive quality outcomes every time.

Grammar to be taught again in Australian schools . . . after more than 30 years!

Sunset Digital welcomes the proposal by the Australian Federal Government’s National Curriculum Board to introduce a new national curriculum that will restore the teaching of traditional English and grammar in the nation’s schools. The board has stated, correctly in our view, that an emphasis on grammar, spelling and punctuation will permit students ‘to develop a coherent body of knowledge about how the English language works in its significant oral, written and other forms . . .’ [more]

‘No one would hire a motor mechanic who had little or no knowledge of the combustion engine, or an electrician who was ignorant of electrical theory. Strange as it may seem, however, individuals and businesses unknowingly entrust the production of their publications to design companies whose staff have very poor English skills and are blissfully unaware of the rules of typography. Indeed, very few of our competitors even employ proofreaders! At Sunset Digital, we understand the importance of these traditional skills. Without them, readability suffers, ambiguities abound, and mistakes are inevitable.’

‘What sets us apart from our competitors is our mix of creativity and a passion for using the written English language correctly. To state this boldly, how many design agencies’ websites contain poor grammar, incorrect use of punctuation, or spelling mistakes? Ours doesn’t. I challenge you to find an error anywhere on our website. That’s a compelling test that sets us apart. Our clients know that what we produce will look great and be correct.’
