The design process beigns with an initial meeting, where we would discuss your background, needs, budget, and timeline. I will give you an idea of what I can do for you, and how the rest of the process will go. After we've made a deal, I will get right into the design process, and start to brainstorm different concepts for your project. After giving you a few different options, we can choose a direction to go in. I will further develop the concept to your specifications, and we will again discuss the progress and continue to fine tune your piece. I do not stop working on a project until it is perfect. At that time, we will proceed into the finishing process. If it's a printed piece, I can help you get it to the printer and make sure it's up to spec. If it's an identity piece, I will provide the final files in various formats. For web projects, the site will go live to be seen by the public.
In a world overwhelmed by competition, being recognized is just as important as getting noticed in the first place. I have experience creating a full line of identity pieces, from start to finish. I can create clean and effective logos to better represent and identify your company. In addition, I can create other pieces to accompany the logo and complete the branding process. I can create slick business cards with precise typography, as well as custom letterhead design and an envelope to finish it off. I strive to create effective pieces with a cohesive look. You will get a final design that will work for a variety of applications. By understanding your company's background, my design can reflect who you are and what you do. And by understanding how you plan to use these branding pieces, I can make sure that all the design will look great, and function equally as well, in every piece.
Just having a website used to be good enough years ago. But today, just about everyone has their own site. Now it is more important than ever to make sure that your site stands out above the rest. I can help you do that in a number of ways. I'm familiar with both all flash or all .html sites, or a combination of the two. I can give your site a fresh look, or design one from scratch. I can also design a flash intro for your site to add some excitement to it. The possibilities are endless. Need a feedback form or some CSS scripts? No problem, I have experience with forms with PHP and ASP, and clean CSS. And if a true database or e-commerce site is what you're looking for, I have great partners to handle the backend. Whatever your website needs, I'm sure I can meet and exceed them. I won't stop until your site is finished, has gone live, and is functioning online just the way you want it.
When it comes to getting your point across clearly to a wide audience, printed pieces are the way to go. I've had the opportunity to do a wide variety of print pieces, and I'm confident approaching almost any project. From postcard mailers to trade show displays, size doesn't matter. My experience includes pieces like posters, fliers, brochures, magazine advertisements, and mailers, among others. I have done 1-color, 2-color, and 4 color process pieces, so I can design something for any budget. I am familiar with both Mac and PC platforms, as well as all the latest design software, including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I have experience using the different layout programs as well, including Quark XPress, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Pagemaker. This means you will get the exact file type that you want, making sure that it looks as good on paper as it did on the screen.
I don't believe in setting rates in stone. Every new project is looked at on an individual basis, taking into account the client's needs, budget, and timeline. I will say though, that it's hard to find professional work for much cheaper. Being young and aggressive, I am willing to take on large jobs as well as small ones, making sure that the client's needs are met and exceeded no matter the size of the project. If you are interested in general hourly or project rates, use the form on the contact page, and I will get back to you quickly with that information. Better yet, provide details of your project, and I will send you a personalized estimate. Everything is negotiable in my book. I'm here to provide a superior product at a superior price. After completion of the project, you will know exactly what you're paying for; there will never be any surprise costs. You will be completely satisfied, I guarantee it.
