branding & graphic design
I love it when I can simplify my client’s marketing and communications process and make their life, (or at least their job) easier. Though I get hired to do all sorts of projects, here are the usual suspects:
Have you noticed all the rage around branding over the last couple of years? Why all of a sudden is this such an important aspect of business to look at? While there is no one answer, part of it has to do with the amount of research that’s been done around the way we human beings make decisions.
A company brand is comprised of all aspects of your company from the way you answer your phone, to the shoes you wear. There are many areas of branding that I can help you with. Click here to learn more.
Ah yes, the hairstyle of the brand. Often this is the first impression you make on your audience. What it says about you speaks volumes. It needs to be simple, unique, memorable, and fit your brand.
Using your logo as a foundation, I can design a consistent look and feel across all your materials, and give you the tools to be sure it stays that way, no matter who is doing the designing. Click here to learn more about logos including process and fees.
Websites have become the storefront for more and more companies nowadays. It’s really the first place potential customers go to learn about you. You only have a few precious seconds to connect with them, get them to understand what you’re all about and motivate them to look deeper.
There are so many elements to a successful website. I have a trusted network of experts in their fields to help with projects as needed. Together, we can do just about anything- even communicate clairvoyantly. Click here to learn more about my website capabilities and process here.
When someone picks up your company brochure, or your business card -how do you suppose they feel? Every time a potential customer comes in contact with your brand, it’s an opportunity for you to shine. These “touch points” are powerful, especially if the re-enforce the brand’s emotional connection. Touch points are’t only physical...they’re your commercials, your signs on the road, your e-mail and handshakes. These all should sing your authentic brand and share your promise to the world.
Print offers a unique opportunity to tap into other levels of brain activity.The tactile senses are an important emotional vehicle that can re-enforce the brand experience. What kind of paper is it printed on? How does this feel in my hand? Cheap, flimsy and last minute, or solid, thoughtful and sound? People look for subtle clues to tell who you really are...and most of them don’t even know they’re looking. Click here for more information.
I worked with Patrick when I was serving on a committee in a volunteer capacity. Our committee reviewed about half a dozen creative agencies and Patrick presented the most "WOW" creative I've seen in a long while, and I've worked in creative services for a long while. Patrick was a great partner with inspirational input and he was just plain fun to work with. Talent and a great experience--the magic combination.
