Graphic Design Johannesburg
Graphic design for corporate JOHANNESBURG
Sandton signs the cheques, the JSE sets the standard, and the mining houses expect polish. Joburg is a fast, high-budget, results-driven market, and its design has to look the part. Juicy Designs builds annual reports, results and investor decks, exhibition stands and company profiles for finance, resources and corporate head offices. Pretoria based, Gauteng home turf, so local delivery is free. From R1,500/asset. Retainers from R6,500/mo.
Juicy Designs is a Pretoria-based studio that handles corporate graphic design for businesses across Johannesburg and Gauteng. Johannesburg is the engine room of the South African economy, home to the JSE, the Sandton finance and banking cluster, the country’s mining and resources head offices, and a dense layer of corporate, retail and logistics brands. That market moves quickly and spends where it counts, so the design has to carry weight: annual and integrated reports, results and investor presentations, boardroom decks, company profiles, exhibition stands for the Sandton Convention Centre, Gallagher and Nasrec, and high-volume digital ad suites. Juicy Designs produces all of these, working inside an existing brand manual or building a fresh identity where none exists. Print files ship ready for any South African printer (CMYK, 300 DPI, 3mm bleed), and because Johannesburg is in our home province, local delivery is free and Sandton or Rosebank meetings are a short drive. Per-asset pricing from R1,500. Design retainers from R6,500/mo, or a full creative retainer with copywriting and brand management from R14,000/mo.

Where most Joburg briefs start
Three ways we work with JHB brands
Most Johannesburg work lands in one of three buckets: the reporting and boardroom pieces that carry money and reputation, the always-on digital assets that feed a busy paid and social calendar, and the physical presence at Joburg’s big exhibition venues. Pick the one that matches your next deadline.
Reporting & boardroom design
The documents that go in front of shareholders, boards and procurement panels: annual and integrated reports, results presentations, company profiles and capability statements. This is where Sandton finance, mining groups and corporate head offices spend, and where a weak layout costs credibility. Every print file ships CMYK, 300 DPI, 3mm bleed and crop marks for any South African printer.
Explore report designAlways-on digital assets
Joburg brands run heavy paid and social calendars, and they burn through creative fast. We build digital asset suites at volume: social graphics, display and programmatic banner sets, LinkedIn and Meta ad creative, and email templates, all sharing one consistent look. A retainer keeps the pipeline full so your marketing team never waits on artwork.
Explore digital assetsStands & presentation design
Johannesburg hosts the country’s biggest shows at the Sandton Convention Centre, Gallagher and Nasrec, and its boardrooms host the biggest deals. We design exhibition stands, pitch and investor decks, and the supporting collateral around them, built to your stand builder’s spec sheet and delivered as both editable files and large-format print-ready artwork.

Six things Joburg businesses ask us to design
From a results deck for Monday’s board meeting to a stand for next month’s expo, here is the design work Johannesburg companies bring us most.
Reports & corporate print
Annual and integrated reports, company profiles, capability statements, investor brochures, product catalogues and B2B sales collateral for Johannesburg. This is the bread and butter of JSE-listed groups, mining houses and Sandton financial services firms, where the document itself is part of the pitch.
Files ship print-ready: CMYK, 300 DPI minimum, 3mm bleed, crop marks and embedded fonts, with InDesign and PDF sources handed over. Years of local print experience mean the file lands right at the printer the first time.
Annual reports from R12,000, company profiles from R4,500 see full pricing.
Learn moreDigital & ad creative
Social graphics, display and programmatic banner sets, web assets and paid-ad creative for Johannesburg brands running competitive digital budgets.
We produce static, animated and HTML5 assets at the pace a busy Joburg marketing calendar needs, keeping one look across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Google Display and programmatic buys.
Every suite is sized per placement, from feed to stories to standard IAB display formats, and delivered as PNG, JPG, SVG, MP4 or GIF. For brands publishing every week, a monthly retainer works out cheapest per asset.
From R1,500/asset see full pricing.
Learn moreResults & pitch decks
Results and investor presentations, boardroom decks, new-business proposals and strategic review decks for Johannesburg professionals.
We build PowerPoint and Google Slides templates and bespoke decks for Sandton finance, mining investor relations, consulting, legal and property teams. In a Joburg boardroom the deck is often the first impression, and an amateur one quietly costs the mandate.
We structure, design and lay out decks that make dense financial, technical and strategic detail easy to follow. Locked, reusable brand templates from R5,500, bespoke decks from R3,500 see full pricing.
Learn moreExhibition & signage
Exhibition stand artwork, pull-up banners, backdrops, office signage and large-format display graphics for Johannesburg events and workplaces, designed for the Sandton Convention Centre, Gallagher, Nasrec and corporate head-office environments across the city.
We work with both shell-scheme and custom-build stand contractors and deliver large-format artwork to the exact spec your builder supplies. Pull-up banners from R1,800, stand design packages from R6,500 see full pricing.
Learn moreEmail template design
Newsletter and campaign email templates for Johannesburg businesses, built as responsive HTML for Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Campaign Monitor and the other platforms Joburg marketing teams run.
Templates are mobile-first and tested across Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail, with editable blocks your team updates in-platform without touching a designer. A branded template quietly retires the plain default that undercuts a corporate sender.
Newsletter templates from R3,500, transactional email suites from R6,500 see full pricing.
Learn moreData & infographic design
Data visualisation, process diagrams, statistical summaries and explainer graphics for Johannesburg businesses. Finance, mining, consulting and property teams here produce data-heavy reporting, and the numbers land far harder as a clean visual than a wall of tables.
We turn spreadsheets, research, compliance data and market analysis into clear infographic layouts that work in print, in annual reports, in decks and on social. Report infographics from R2,500, complex multi-page data visualisation from R6,500 see full pricing.

How a Joburg project runs
A deadline-driven market needs a predictable process. Here is how a Johannesburg design job moves from first brief to final handover.
-
Brief & deadline lock
We review your brand manual and assets, and pin down the immovable date, whether that is an AGM, a results release or an expo opening. Johannesburg clients get a written brief summary and a schedule built backwards from that date before any design starts.
Day 1-2 -
Concepts on the table
First concepts arrive as PDF previews. Detailed print jobs get two layout routes to choose between; digital and template work starts on one direction and sharpens from there. Nothing comes off a generic template, it is all built around your brand.
Days 3-8 -
One round of feedback
Two revision rounds are included as standard. Where several Joburg stakeholders are involved, we ask for one consolidated set of comments per round, which keeps a multi-approver corporate sign-off from turning into an open-ended loop.
Days 8-12 -
Print-ready handover
Final files go out by secure transfer. Print jobs include the print-ready PDF, source files (AI, INDD) and web versions; digital work comes in every required size and format. You own all of it, and in Gauteng we can hand over printed pieces in person.
Day 12-15 -
Repeat-run support
Reports, results decks and campaign assets come round again every quarter. We keep the templates and source files ready so the next cycle is faster and cheaper than the first.
What makes us different
Why Joburg corporates keep briefing Juicy Designs
Boardroom-grade work, print files that are right first time, and founders on the pen. No junior handoffs, no outsourcing.
Built for a demanding audience
In Johannesburg the work is seen by tough audiences: institutional shareholders reading an integrated report, a JSE-listed board reviewing a results deck, an expo crowd walking a row of the country’s biggest brands. The bar sits higher here than almost anywhere else in the country.
We design to that bar. You will not get generic SME-grade work that undersells a Sandton finance or mining brand in front of the people who matter.
Right first time at the printer
Reprinting a 5,000-copy report or a full stand graphic because the file was RGB, low-res or missing bleed is expensive and it blows the deadline. We deliver every print file correct the first time: CMYK, 300 DPI, 3mm bleed, crop marks, embedded fonts, PDF/X. Ten-plus years with South African printers and stand builders means we know exactly what each one needs.
Founders on the pen
No junior learning on your annual report. Wynand van der Westhuizen, Co-founder and Creative Director, leads design on every Johannesburg project, with Cobus van der Westhuizen on brand strategy and copy. When a results deck or an integrated report is carrying real money, you want the people whose name is on the studio, not a freelancer booked for the week.
Frequently asked questions
Joburg design, answered
Straight answers about corporate graphic design in Johannesburg. No jargon, no runaround.
Which Johannesburg sectors does Juicy Designs design for?
Johannesburg is South Africa’s economic hub, so our work skews corporate and high-stakes. We design most often for the Sandton finance and banking cluster, mining and resources groups, corporate head offices, large retail and property developers, and logistics operators around Midrand and the East Rand.
Typical briefs are annual and integrated reports, results and investor presentations, company profiles, exhibition stands and internal communication collateral. Juicy Designs is Pretoria based, and Johannesburg sits in our home province of Gauteng, so local delivery is free and we can meet in Sandton or Rosebank by arrangement.
What does an annual report or investor deck cost for a JSE-listed company?
A designed annual or integrated report usually runs R12,000 to R35,000 depending on page count, the volume of data visualisation, and how much compliance formatting the JSE requires.
A results or investor presentation ranges from R3,500 for a bespoke deck to R5,500 for a locked, reusable template your investor relations team can update each quarter. Single assets start at R1,500. Everything ships print-ready or presentation-ready, and we can quote copywriting and infographic work alongside the layout.
Can you meet us in person in Sandton or Rosebank?
Yes. Our head office is in Pretoria, and Johannesburg is in our home region of Gauteng, so on-site meetings in Sandton, Rosebank, Midrand or the CBD are easy to arrange and local delivery is free.
Most day-to-day work runs over email, shared PDF reviews and video calls, which keeps things fast for busy Joburg teams, but for a kick-off, a report sign-off or a stand walk-through we are a short drive away.
How fast can you turn work around for a Johannesburg deadline?
Johannesburg runs on tight, competitive timelines, so we plan for them. Single digital assets land in 2 to 3 business days. A company profile or brochure takes 5 to 10 business days from an approved brief. A 20 to 40 slide results or pitch deck takes 7 to 12 business days, and an exhibition stand 5 to 8.
For results season, board meetings or a trade show at the Sandton Convention Centre or Gallagher, tell us the fixed date up front and we build the schedule backwards from it. Urgent turnarounds are available on request.
Do you supply print-ready files for large-format and exhibition contractors?
Yes. Every print file leaves as CMYK, 300 DPI, with 3mm bleed, crop marks and embedded fonts, exported to PDF/X for your printer.
For exhibition and signage we supply large-format artwork built to the exact spec sheet your Johannesburg stand builder or signage contractor provides, whether that is a shell scheme at Gallagher or a custom build at Nasrec. Source files in InDesign or Illustrator are available on request, so nothing is locked to us.
Will you work inside our corporate brand governance?
Absolutely. Larger Johannesburg corporates and JSE-listed groups often run strict brand manuals with sign-off chains, and we are comfortable in that setting. We review your guidelines before starting, extend the system consistently, and submit for brand approval as standard.
If the guidelines are thin or dated, we can refresh or formalise them as a separate piece of work before the design begins.
Do you design company profiles and catalogues for Johannesburg businesses?
Yes. We design multi-page company profiles, capability statements and product catalogues, print-ready with correct bleeds and colour, and can arrange print and delivery in Gauteng through our print service. Longer documents are quoted per project once we know the page count and photography or data needs.
Can you design office signage and vehicle branding in Johannesburg?
Yes. We design office and building signage, wayfinding, and vehicle branding as print-ready, spec-correct artwork, and can produce and arrange the install through our print partners, so the design and the finished product match exactly across a Joburg fleet or head-office fit-out.
