It is great to work with the Tech Designer. Our site looks great and there is a great consistent look to our presentations and videos.

Photography

Great shots make everything look better. Photography can make or break digital and print design. It evokes a feeling, negative or positive. We take high quality, high-resolution photos that are suitable for any size reproduction from a business card to a billboard. You retain the rights to these photos to use at any time in the future. Sometimes lower-cost stock photography can work to create the same effect. We can even retouch to combine or enhance different photos. Need a photo of something that doesn't even exist? We have your back with photo-realistic illustrators that can turn your imagination into reality and even merge it into an existing photo.

Marketing

Whether you are old-school and want print marketing or you want to go digital we are here to help. We can help you figure out your customer demographics and determine the best way to reach them. You can determine your budget and we can help you set up a marketing plan. We have experience with local and international print marketing in newspapers and magazines. We can help with ad sizes, placement, and metrics. You can also run advertising in local publications, mailers, postcards, and billboards. Often print marketing has online advertising included in the same package. Online and digital marketing includes social media, websites, blogs, digital signage and more. We can help you figure out costs for each and which might be the best solution for you. Sometimes marketing can be something simple but time-consuming that you can do on your own if you wish in order to save money. Other forms may be more complex or you might not have the time to spend on it, that is why we are here.  

Illustrations

We can create almost any illustration,  a line drawing, 2D, 3D, or photo realistic image to depict almost anything. Line drawings come in handy to simply illustrate a concept like that put forth in a patent application. 2D and 3D illustrations can often depict more complex ideas, These can be rotated to show different angles, views, applications or combinations of parts. This can be a great way to increase the impact of your company logo. Photorealistic illustrations can often depict items that don't yet exist like new products or packaging. They can be incorporated into an actual photo for added realism. Trade characters can be created to elevate your company above the competition and generate brand loyalty.

Logos & Corporate ID

The difference between a small or medium size business and a multimedia corporation is often times just consistency. A great corporate identity or ID is uniform across all of their media and throughout the entire business.

Technology

Gadgets are great when they work but what do you do when they don't? We're here to help! We can help with computers running Apple or Microsoft operating systems and the peripherals that work with them. Got networking problems? We can step in and help work out the bugs or secure your current network. We can even start from scratch and set up full networks or servers. Need help setting up digital walls, security systems, video surveillance or other technology? We will come to your site and help with any technology from mobile phone setup to set up an entire server.
