How we work
At Root Studio we produce creative, engaging and inspiring prospectus designs for educational facilities across the country
For 17 years we’ve worked with vibrant Colleges, historic Universities and innovative specialist academies to showcase their facilities, options and support to aspiring young people across the globe.
Research & discovery
By defining your brand story, establishing your goals and understanding your target audience we can provide our creative team the context they need to produce an outstanding campaign for your campus.
The creative process
We’ll work with you to consider all appropriate formats for your prospectus including print and digital applications. We’ll develop branded templates that suit your messaging and appeal to your target audience. We’ll help to translate key USPs and information in creative and engaging ways and deliver a memorable and lasting experience.
Print production
Over the years we have built up a network of trusted experts in print production specialising in everything from brochures to exhibition displays, screen printing to letterpress, traditional sign writing and specialist print finishes. Wherever possible we take care to ensure that any products commissioned by the studio are built to last and use the most sustainable and appropriate materials possible.
Digital prospectus design
Our experienced design team will produce a creative microsite design that approaches your prospectus in a more interactive and engaging way. This concept will be iterated and refined and presented to you as a fully interactive prototype.
The development process
Our team of developers start all builds with the creation of a thorough digital style guide. All our code is written in-house to the latest standards by our experienced development team. Your website will be built within a secure staging area available for you to see at any stage during the development process.
Environment
There’s nothing neutral about our feelings towards carbon. That’s why we’re dedicated to being carbon ‘positive’ forever. That means that any printed items produced by the studio will be offset at the end of the year at no extra cost to our customers. Find out more about our environmental policy here.

Insights
In a recent Spotlight interview with DesignRush co-founder Tom discussed how clients can get the best out of their studio collaborations.
In the fast-paced landscape of business with multiple team members creating content and sharing documents on a daily basis, it’s easy for a brand to become out of control and as such, creating a framework for consistency is vital to achieving successful brand recognition.
In recent months we've been working with the Lincoln College team behind the scenes at the development of their groundbreaking ASI campus in Newark to develop a cohesive and innovative collection of signage and wayfinding graphics for students, visitors and staff of the site.
Frequently asked questions
How do you quote for a prospectus design?
Design fees for a prospectus are usually calculated as a set fee (with the exception of retainer clients which would be tracked at an hourly rate). Any print fees will be sourced from our trusted network of specialists.
How many revisions are included?
Up to three rounds of revisions as standard within our design contracts. Additional changes after this point are evaluated and estimated based on their complexity (we will never charge you extra without permission).
I am outside of the UK, how would this work?
No problem, we have many overseas clients and meet regularly via video call. All estimates and bills are provided in GBP and can be paid via bank transfer or credit card.
How do you bill for a project?
After a design contract has been agreed we will send over a deposit invoice for between 25-50% of the project fee (subject to requirements). The remaining balance and production fees will be billed upon completion with our standard 30 day payment terms.
