BE CREATIVE

Tailoring around the needs of your business, I can help implement effective marketing tools and strategies that will enhance the look and feel of your services. Although I do not have a degree in graphic design, I have experience in designing logos, format and layout for brochures, menus, flyers, newsletters etc. I also have experience in web design, in fact, you're looking at one of my designs now!

The first step in developing a new graphic design is to determine the needs of the client, and the message the design should portray and its appeal to customers and users. When designing I consider not only you and your business, but who are your customers and target audiences. I will meet with you to determine your needs.

I will prepare a few samples to illustrate the vision for the design and with feedback from you, the client, we will finalize an end product for you to take to print.

All files will be given to you on a cd rom and printing will be your responsibility.

My main source of clients are small business owners. I strive to offer services that are both affordable and professional.

The CD Series
These were a group of cd covers I designed for various compilations in my 2007 Art For Souls Series.
 

 

Like me, Steve has his hands in a few things. He requested a card that had his DJ services on one side and his craftsmanship on the other. I wanted a way to bridge the two since they were on such opposite ends of the spectrum. So I came up with the idea to have him climbing over one side of the card and hanging over with his hammer. We took a few photos impromptu and I played around with them to come up with a funky cartoonish look.

Muddy Waters wanted a new gift certificate look, I gave their certificate a new flavor and printed the certificates on tan parchment paper to give the look of coffee stains. I perforated the left side so the recipient could tear off the business card size of certificate and easily keep it in their purse or wallet.

My idea with their menu was to create the idea of coffee rings but also circles to represent all the circles of friends who have gathered and met at the coffee bar. Muddy Waters has been a very central place for people to come together and make new friends so I wanted their menu to represent all those little clusters of people.

With Normandy Farm I wanted to give the certificate the feel that is was a loaf of bread. I created the same perforated business card size for the recipient to carry. I was able to re-do all of Normandy Farm's marketing material and signs giving it a much cleaner look. Stop in for a loaf of bread and check out their menu and all the signs ... I'm sure you'll love the bread and the design!

Obviously working with concrete was the inspiration for the concrete wall in his card. This card actually printed beautifully, there is a lot of texture and detail in the actual card that isn't picked up even in the photo here.

This is the IT game I developed, I wanted to have a catchy look to it, I package the game in 4" round tins with these labels on top. It has a trendy feel to it, makes people curious what is inside.
