HOW WE WORK: Simply stated:
We generally like setting up lines of communications with our clients, including phone and email contact with the decision maker on your end.
We CLARIFY your needs and preferences, and other details of your project. We ask you to send us whatever details (i.e. photos, wording, samples or examples, etc.) you may have at this point to help this critical clarification process.
We offer GUIDANCEâââ‰â¬Â if and when neededâââ‰â¬Â regarding your project description, parameters, styling, content, or other details.
We start by submitting design PROOFS for your review and important feedback. We make REFINEMENTS based on your feedback, and repeat this loop as necessary until the project is complete. We expect you to carefully check our proofs and clearly give us your corrections, adjustments, likes and dislikes. Remember, the design process often includes seeing things that you may NOT like to help you to better get in touch with what you DO like.
Upon final approval, weâââ‰â¢ll ship your work to you and/or your printer or publication.
Turnaround dependent upon project; we will deliniate turnaround parameters with our bids, estimates, and/or in our buy now deals.
Once a project is clearly defined and agreed upon, terms for projects that are over $500. usually are a 1/3 deposit to commence actual work; 1/3 somewhere in the middle, and/or balance due C.O.D.

Detailed Service Description
OUR MAIN SERVICES ARE:
CONCEPTUAL/VISUAL THINKING: The dictionary definition of a concept says: something formed in the mind; a thought or notion. We think things up for you. Good things. Promotional things. Creative things. VISUALSâââ¬Ã¦ or just good approaches and ideas for which you may not even think to ask. We offer our creative conceptual thinking to help our clients look their absolute best. This helps our clients sell more products and servicesâââ‰â¬Â and make more money.
DESIGN: WE MAKE YOUR SERVICE OR PRODUCT LOOK GOOD, BECAUSE LOOKING GOOD IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS. We excel in design work... it is our STRENGTH. We are masterful not only in the execution of a design, but also in all the collateral skills, such as project management, client guidance, photography and photo retouching, and good old fashioned knowing what youâââ‰â¢re doing, and knowing it well.
COPYWRITING: Our experience has taught us the important correlation between words, visuals, and overall concept. Where appropriate and if itâââ‰â¢s part of the project, we offer conceptual, creative copy services based on our many years of experience.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Our high resolution digital photography skills have enabled us to perform speedy photographic miracles for many jobs. Most of the photography is done in our studio, plus we also have affiliations with professional studios with an even greater range of size and lighting capabilities.
ILLUSTRATION and CARTOONING WORK: Look through our samples and youâââ‰â¢ll see numerous instances where weâââ‰â¢ve used dynamic custom designed illustrations or cartoons to get the most impact. There are many styles of illustration available, and what we donâââ‰â¢t do ourselves; we can handle through our long-standing connections to some of Americaâââ‰â¢s top illustrators.
PRODUCTION: This is our first consideration when approaching a project. Itâââ‰â¢s no good to create an idea that canâââ‰â¢t be effectively produced within the associated budget and time frame. We are very well grounded in all aspects of production, and use it to the benefit of our clients.
As part of any PRINT job, weâââ‰â¢re available to take care of any prepress issues your printer or publication may have. (We submit ADS and print jobs all the time to all types of publications and printers without any problems whatsoever... in all major digital formats.)
INSURANCE POLICY & CONVENIENCE: We scrupulously keep two separate sets of indexed CD BACK-UPS of ALL our work. This makes it easier if you need something else done with any of the pieces of your job. We guarantee having this back-up available to you for up to 12 months after your job is complete. Itâââ‰â¢s not unusual for us to retrieve a catalog, ad, brochure, or flyer from several years ago for easy updates to prices, products, or other items.
Our end-products generally are: ads, brochures, catalogs, booklets, comic strips, postcards, photography, photo retouching, illustration work, cartooning, sell sheets, catalog sheets, package design, logos, corporate identity work, web sites, charts, graphs, flyers, magazines, mastheads, newsletters, labels, billboards, posters, photo compositing, typographic design, presentations, display content work, trade show graphics, gag cartoons, business cartoons, promotional cartoons and illustrations.
