Graphic Design

Graphic Design applies to printing, websites, social media and more.

It is well-known that printing has a centuries-old history – thank you Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press. In just the last 50 years, printing has become more technical than ever.

Print is not dead. It was once thought it would be by now not very long ago. There have certainly been some concerning years, but there is an upswing with print today and it's only growing. Print is one of the most vital pieces of your marketing campaign.

After working in and with the design and print industries for over 40 years, we have acquired an advanced skill set in these technologies needed in today’s printing. By understanding both sides of the press, we give you the confidence of knowing that your print project will print correctly, which is cost saving.

Before: Project Review

Before we get started, we will have a comprehensive discussion about your design project and what you want to achieve with it. What are you envisioning? Do you just know you need it, but aren’t sure what until you see it? And that’s ok – we’re here to help you communicate your vision.

Through this, it helps us find the right type of printing for you before the designing starts and leads you to a better-informed decision early in the process.

Often these discussions lead to other supporting marketing decisions in other design channels for your company. Do you have a website that a potential buyer can visit? Does your company have a social media presence? Are you doing any web ads? 

Just some food for thought.

During: Print Design

From our discussions, the print design process begins. You will be informed of any pitfalls that may happen – no surprises later. Any type of design is a process, and you will be kept in the loop throughout the project from beginning to end.

We will share proofing drafts as your project is developed, giving you the opportunity to make decisions or changes that you need. Sometimes when you see it, a design might not be quite what you want. That is a normal occurrence – the most important thing is to design what you need.

When the final design is approved, your project will be run through our own prepress review before going to a print vendor.

For peace of mind.

After: Delivery and Support

We provide professional advice before you order but we are also there to help you afterwards, serving as reliable support and resource.

We are here even after you have received your final product. We want to hear feedback from you to better serve you, and others, now and in the future. Tell us what’s great and tell us where you want to see improvement.
