GRAPHIC DESIGN

Make an impression!

Let us help your company grow through the use of compelling graphic design. Many unsuccessful businesses ignore the need for good design. Graphics and visuals may be the only things that set you apart from a competitor; effective graphics mean consumers remember you first. Some examples of how we can help your business through graphic design include:
  • Logo Design
  • Business Card Design
  • Print Advertisements
  • Posters
  • Menu Designs
If you have an idea, we can make it possible in 3 easy steps:

Step 1. Concept Meeting

Building a corporate identity begins with graphic design. We meet with you to discuss your company, products or services. You express your ideas for a design and we provide creative energy to develop an original concept.

Step 2. We construct several possibilities

After developing a concept, we get to work producing several unique possibilities. The best of these designs is then presented for your review. Based on your feedback, we make revisions until reaching the final product.

Step 3. You use your design

After finishing the design, we provide the necessary files for you to print it. We can even assist you in selecting a printer.

WEB SITE DESIGN

Create an online presence!

Let our skilled designers work with you to build an attractive website that fulfills your company's online needs. You provide the information; we provide design creativity. We take you through the entire process in 3 easy steps:

Step 1. Exploratory Meeting

Our managing designer meets with you to discuss what you want out of your website. After we understand what you need, you provide the information you would like to include on the site as well as any images or media content.

Step 2. We build a preliminary site structure

Our design team analyzes your requirements and constructs a site outline. We discuss the preliminary outline with you and begin construction of the site design you have approved.

Step 3. We put it online

Once you are happy with the site, we take care of the hosting, domain name registration (www.yourwebsitename.com), and submission to search engines (yahoo, google, etc.). If you already have a domain name or a web hosting service you are free to use them too. We recommend updating your content from time to time to keep visitors coming to the site. If you wish, we can set up a maintenance agreement for your site.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Whether your project is a website, advertisement, or anything else where visual impression counts, youíll often need photographs. We have the experience and equipment needed to deliver professional photographic services. We save you money by working in an entirely digital workflow using the latest digital SLR camera technology from Olympus. Working digitally, we no longer have to spend time and money waiting for film to be developed and proofs to be printed. We pass all the cost savings on to you and the time saved means a quick turnaround. Some example applications of photography include the following:
  • Food Photography and Restaurant Photography
  • Product Imagery
  • Art and Fashion Photography
  • Architectural Photography
  • Documentation
