Look Around.
Graphic Design Is Everywhere.
Graphic Design is used to communicate messages and ideas by combining images, type, colour, and form. Categories of Graphic design can sometimes overlap causing some confusion so I’ll break it down a little.
Graphic Design For Marketing
One of the main purposes of Graphic Design is of course advertising and marketing. It’s no secret that marketing has the power to influence the decision-making process of a companies target audience.
People associate good design with a quality product. It’s simply just more engaging. You can sell the same product in two different packages and people will swear that one is of higher quality than the other, based purely on the design and marketing.
Nike is a good example. Consumers pay hundreds of dollars for a pair of Nike shoes because of the design and marketing that has gone into building the brand. Those same pairs of shoes without the brand on them wouldn’t sell for a fraction of the cost and might be looked at as a cheap, inferior product. Of course, this type of recognition doesn’t come overnight, but you get the idea.
Which design tastes better? Coffee… I meant coffee… Which coffee tastes better?

This is the layout of all the buttons, menu’s, and other page elements. Before a website is built, it must go through this process of design and planning.

Package Graphic Design
If you sell tangeable products then your packaging is a HUGE part of your marketing and communication. Don’t pass up the opportunity to be noticed!
Package design is the process of creating thoughtful and creative concepts to make your products stand out from the competition.
I am also able to create digital mockups of your package designs so that you can visualize what the end product is going to look like before going through the manufacturing process.
