Illustration

Illustration speaks louder than words

Make a lasting impression by utilizing custom illustrations for your social media content or your next ad campaign. Any business can procure stock images and other stock assets, but custom illustrations will ensure your next project stands out from the competition. Since everything is custom hand-drawn based on your ideas, develop your own character and tell the story exactly how you want the message portrayed. Website, social media, product packaging, corporate communications, branding or advertising campaigns are just a few examples of how custom illustrations can be used.

Portraits are hand-drawn on watercolour paper using either black ink and a limited 3-colour watercolour palette (which can mix to create a surprising amount of colours), or with 3 colours of drawing ink, depending on the style. The option to pick specific colours to match your event and different size paper is available.

Graphic Design

1. Graphic design grabs your attention

At the core of all graphic design projects, is the most basic objective of being seen by your customers. With the competition today, regardless of the industry, you should endeavour to create digital or print designs that make a powerful impression for your customers or target audience. Effective designs will help customers remember your brand. Utilizing inexpensive templates may save some money upfront, but if the project is ineffective or forgettable, are the savings ultimately worth it?

2. Branding

Most successful businesses make their brand strategy a top priority. Starting with a logo, it is the main identifier of any business. From signs, to printed brochures, to websites - logos will be used on almost every application of the business. With a great design, it will capture the characteristics of the owner, business, and core values all in a captivating way. Is this something you want to leave to generic shapes and fonts that everyone is able to download? Don’t forget to ask about our Brand Guidelines to help you ensure you stay on course and infuse the same logo and branding on all future projects.

3. Professional Appearance

This goes beyond esthetics. A professional appearance starts building the relationship with your customer, and that starts with trust. Packaging, brochures, business cards, all digital or printed materials distinguish your company from others and instills credibility of your product or service. The cohesion and brand enforcement will allow you to stand out from your competition.

4. Communication

With a great logo, brand colours & fonts and dynamic layouts, you can deliver key messages to customers without long boring paragraphs. Strong graphics will make the task of communicating to your customers easier and more enjoyable. As they say “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
