Graphic Design

Custom-built Brands

Whether you’re an artist, finance guru, blogger or pumpkin farmer, a custom graphic identity will help build brand recognition and value for your business, and set you apart from The Others. Part of building a successful brand is making sure people see it. I will design a program that integrates your logo or graphic identity into each piece of your marketing materials, from your business card to your social networks, or anything in between.

I am open to freelance, contract or full-time positions with a creative organization.

Graphic Identity

Graphic identity is more than a logo — its the sum of visual elements including a trademark, color scheme, typography and overall visual style that gets you noticed among your colleagues and competitors.

Logos/logotypes
Symbols/icons
Business cards
Stationery systems
Look-and-feel design


Collateral/Print

Example Projects:
Business cards
Stationery systems
Brochures
Annual reports
Newsletters
Announcements
Invitations
Packaging graphics
Books
In-house Collateral:
Reports, presentation booklets, manuals, etc.

Personal Branding and Social Networking Graphics

If you haven't gotten into social networking yet, its about time to give it a try. But remember, sometimes people DO judge a book by its cover... so give them a chance to relate to your personal brand; I can make your "blah" network profiles look good, and match the rest of your marketing materials.

Example Projects:
Avatars/icons/profile pics
Twitter backgrounds
Blog/online shop banners


Website Graphics

I design beautiful, small-business website graphics, and build brochure-style sites with Dreamweaver.

I also work with IT strategists to develop more sophisticated websites, CMS sites, or custom WordPress blog templates.

Internet Assistance
