client services description
graphic design & illustration
Whether you need a logo, a print campaign, or weekly graphics for your site/newsletter, look no further. I design for print, digital, video, and game applications. I’ve worked with one-off clients in need of a quick design fix, clients with weekly design needs, clients with intensive occasional projects, and everything in-between. I serve mainly small businesses in Austin, but work with clients of all sizes all over the USA. A brief list of common projects: business cards, logos, print collateral, website graphics & illustrations, print & digital ads, etc.
website
Perhaps your business needs a new website, a site redesign, or simply some additional functionality/pages. I can work with you to find out and implement exactly what you and your business needs. Whether it’s a static site, or a dynamic content management system, I can make it look the way you envision, function the way you need, increase SEO, and show you how to position and analyze your site in the online world.
online presence and marketing
Twitter, Facebook, Blogging, LinkedIn, YouTube… The web is now filled with dynamic content and social networks. It can be difficult determining which online applications are right for your business, and how exactly to use them to your benefit. I can help you determine where your demographic is online, and how to use some of these tools to connect. If you are looking for more traditional advertising, like pay-per-click campaigns, print advertising, or landing write-ups on blogs/paper media, I can help you identify which outlets will give the best ROI. Depending on your business model, it may be appropriate to monitize your site with adsense and affiliate marketing. And if email marketing/enewsletters/email blasts/HTML newsletters are your thing, I can design those as well as help set up your campaigns.
video & photography
If you need video, I can set up, shoot, edit, add graphics/titles, and output for DVD or web. However, I am not a studio, and shoot equipment would have to be rented; I am also not set up to edit HD video. If you need photography, I can also do product, property, and journalist-style photography, use stock photography, or edit existing photos for your current needs.
education
Since the web has trended toward dynamic, often personal, content, it’s more important than ever that control of your site is brought in-house. Websites are moving toward Content Management Systems (CMSs): software that lets you easily update the site yourself, similar to typing into a word processor. If your site is based on a CMS, or if I set up a CMS for you, I can make sure you and your employees know how to take full advantage of it. I can also educate on the use of online social networks like Twitter and Facebook, or anything else your business needs to be able to do in-house.
tools
Using the right tool for the right job is an important part of designing for consistency, editability, scalability, and archiving. I use the Adobe Creative Suite (CS4 and below) for design, and the Final Cut Pro Suite for video and motion graphics. The Content Management Systems I work with are Joomla and WordPress, though I can work with others if you have a particular preference. I can also set up online tools and services such as email marketing services, online collaboration tools (like Google Documents), or social media services (like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube).
