Over the years, I’ve done a lot of logos, business cards, brochures, flyers, catalogs, wallpapers, posters, you name it, and I’ve had a hand in it at some point or another. Depending on how much you’re looking to spend, I’ll take the approach that best suits your budget. I’m being honest when I tell you that I’m not going to spend 10 hours on an illustration when you can’t afford it or don’t even need it.
But maybe you can afford to take a couple photos yourself with a digital camera and have me touch them up in Photoshop. Or maybe we could buy a couple stock photos from Dreamstime for a few dollars; I bet you’d never know I used stock photos for almost my entire website. The point is: you’re trying to get the job done right, while spending a reasonable amount of money and not wasting it.
I’m a great designer with competitive pricing; I know how printers work and how they like their files prepared. If you don’t have a print shop you use regularly, I can have everything printed plus shipped to you, or I can simply refer you to a printer. However you want to do it, I can help you get your print and identity needs taken care of. I’ve been doing this for almost as long as I’ve been designing websites.
Back in the day, I worked with a lot of individuals and small businesses who could only afford to take photos with their 4 or 5 megapixel digital cameras. Actually, if you were using a 4-5 megapixel digital camera back then, it was considered to be top of the line equipment. I had to manipulate photos all the time; most of them didn’t even look anything like the originals I’d been given to start out with.
That’s part of the territory though. You work with what you got, and I’m all about that. Just let me know what you’re looking for, what your budget looks like, and we’ll go from there. You can also check out my portfolio; you’ll see a lot of good examples of occasions when I didn’t have much to work with and other times too when I’ve had the best to work with. I think you’ll be impressed with the quality of my work.
I’m a guy that’ll zoom into a photo at maybe 1200%, get worked up over one pixel that’s off, and then go out of my way to make it perfect. It’s important to me that you’re happy, but remember well, I take pride in my work. As a professional, I know what’s out there, I know what high quality means; you might not. I can’t design you something that meets your approval but not my own, that just won’t do.
