Customer comments about our images

"Paradigm has used the Say It Works images for many of its paper based and web based material. We have found the images clear, conveying good topical ideas and messages and really useful to us in much of our work. They accurately capture situations, with a diverse range of people and are very adaptable to different messages. We would recommend Say It Works".

Peter Kinsella
Managing Director

"We at Brandon Trust are great fans of Say It Works. Our Annual Report, A Different Difference, which you designed for us, has created a terrific reaction from all kinds of people. Lots and lots of individuals, as well as other agencies, have contacted us and said how impressed they were with the artwork.

In our view it is not just about it being ‘accessible’ – it is also fun without being silly, it is colourful without being gaudy, the artwork uses ‘cartoon’ characters but you can tell they are real people. You listened to our ideas and spent time on the detail. You worked with us to depict all the different things we get up to as a charity. At Brandon Trust we believe in innovation and Say It Works are genuine partners in doing things differently!"

"We provide Supported housing for vulnerable adults many with learning disabilities and mental health problems. We use the Say It Works pictures on our leaflets and communication for our tenants. They really do help to get messages across very clearly."

Housing Support Manager

"I was amazed at the extensive nature of the pictures; they seemed to cover every possible angle that could be needed. The images are also totally unpatronising. I wish all resource producers would spend as much time getting the visuals right, good use of colour too."

Service Users Liaison Group member (PCT)

"The Say It Works Picture Library is an excellent resource. There were many pictures to choose from when dealing with issues around health, substance abuse, and self confidence when addressing barriers to employment. The material was ideal for both group work and one to one counselling. We have now created easy to read ‘Preparing for interview’ handouts using the Say It Works pictures. This has increased confidence levels amongst our job seekers."
