Just because we can all buy paints and canvas at the arts store,

does not mean we can all paint like Da Vinci

No, we are not claiming to be Da Vinci, but we do try to excel at our work. In recent years a lot of tools have become available aimed at graphic and web design. Unfortunately too many business are hurt more than they are helped by these. When you hire employees, you look carefully at a person's resume and past history and pick only those candidate that are qualified for the position. When you need to build a new office, you hire architects & builders to design and build it.. Just because all the materials and tools are available at home depot, doesn't mean you go and build it yourself. All business invest countless hours and dollars into promoting their products and services. Success depends on how well you market your company. Yet, when it comes to advertising, too many of us think we can buy a program and do it ourselves. Most do-it-yourselfers eventually realize that even with hundreds, or thousands spent on software, that great designs do not emerge! Why?

Because those are simply tools. Tools cannot do anything on their own. Its the talent, the creativity, and imagination behind great design that we all appreciate. Artists and designers have created inspiring designs since the begriming of time. It's the artist's imagination that supplies ideas, new tools only help bring those ideas to life,

Professional design builds strong advertising thru experience and creativity.

Corporate Identity:

Whether or not you are a big corporation, you need to have a clear and consistent presence in your market for your customers to recognize. There many details that go into a complete identity creation. Its best to take the time to do this well as all your ongoing marketing material will use what is designed in this step. Unfortunately many customers don't realize how important this step is and many designers will try to slap something together without any thought behind it. We spend the time to discuss and understand your needs and goals and only then bring the creativity in to find the ideal solution to your specific objectives. We do not create just any random design, but develop targeted solutions and market strategy. Through this process, we will create a complete look or identity that you will be proud to have representing your business for years to come. You can then take the print materials as far as your business needs require. Start with a logo, and business card, and add letterhead, presentation materials, folders, mailing stationary, package design, etc as you need. No matter how you decide to go from here, we will work with you to assure that each piece consistently conveys the same company image. Your customers will immediately recognize it is you, giving your brand considerable support and loyalty over time.

Graphic Design:

We will work with you to meet your requirements and provide exemplary design to help market your company and services. We do not just design randomly, but follow a systematic approach using careful analysis of the product and target audience to create the best solution for your specific needs. If you do decide to hire us for your advertising, rest assured that you will receive the highest quality designs and service.

Ideally it is best if we can be involved with a project from the concept stage. This lets us provide some input and ideas that a client may otherwise overlook. Time spent planning ends up saving a lot of rework, confusion and unnecessary expense as the project proceeds. There is usually a lot of flexibility in the early stages and that is the best time to develop a creative marketing plan.

We always try to use a disciplined approach to design based on research and understanding the needs and goals of our client. We will begin by studying background information , target audience, competition, etc. in conjunction with the clients targets and goals to create a solution that is as effective as possible. We understand that there are times when a client either does not have the time, or for other reasons wants to skip this stage and go directly to the graphics stage. In these cases we will do our best to create a solution based on what is available and pull from our design expertise to present ideas under short notice.

When the project is in the graphics development stage, we will usually create 1 or several draft concepts dependent on the budget and time available. These ideas are presented to you for review. Most communication can be done online via email, and web. We will then take the approach you like best, along with your comments and feedback and make revisions. The revised graphics are then presented to you again for review. This process can repeat 1 or more times until it is to your complete satisfaction.
