I have been creating logos and design work since MS Paint. I was good then and I am even better now. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator have been used on a daily basis since 2001. Although I am no longer altering my favorite bands cover art, I still get great enjoyment in creating new digital works of art.
Whether you need help laying out a print ad (yeah, I also know InDesign), need a logo made for your fantasy football team, or are looking to get a giant billboard on Route 7, I can help with quality graphic design.
Logos
Logos are everywhere. You can't walk outside without being smacked in the face with a few hundred logos. You can't even walk inside without being inundated with thousands of logos. Millions of logos are lined up to talk with you right now. Make sure your logo sticks out.
Style Guides
"Give me a good color scheme or give me death". Patrick Henry said that. No, not that Patrick Henry. The Patrick Henry I know from Orlando. The guy that puts together those pretty branding guides for location businesses on I4. Yeah, he taught me everything I know about style guides and branding.
Don't get me wrong, for the longest time I didn't understand bleeds. I made images too large. I made images too small. I created in the wrong resolution. Do we use RGB or CMYK??? Let my learning experiences save you time and money.
Digital Graphics
#1 Eating, #2 Walking #3 Taking #4 Making Graphics on a Computer. That is my shortlist of items I have been doing the longest. I can't say I was placed on this planet to make digital graphics, but no one has told me that I wasn't placed on this planet to make digital graphics. Think about it.
Stock Photography
I know a guy that can get you real good stock photography. Let me jot down his address on this small, crumbled up piece of paper. Hold on. I am that guy. Actually, we can make you 'stock' photography. Like - good enough graphics that you think someone paid for them but they are in locations people know and relate to. The good stuff.
Optimization
If you are putting that image on the web, we need to get rid of some of those pixels. Let's bring that graphic into the shop and let me work my magic. A little bit here, a little bit there, voilà! A perfectly optimized image!

2023: Year of Dreams
I had no expectations for 2023. When December 2022 came to a close, I had no major goals written down or action items that I must accomplish. I mean, I had the normal yearly goals. But those happen every year. They last for as long…
Jake’s – Disney YouTubers and My Quest to Become One
I was almost a Jake. Honestly, if it wasn’t for a failed hard drive, I might be making Disney YouTube videos instead of building websites for clients. I was so close to being a Jake. What is a Jake? Jake is the standard name used…
