Creative Services
We have managed Turnkey Projects for many years, providing design, art direction, copy, photography and production. We had full responsibility from concept to completion for both tab and standard pre-prints as well as store signage, catalogs and mailers. Our Art Directors, Artists, Copy Chiefs and Writers all have extensive experience and backgrounds in their fields. Our Graphic Design team has full knowledge of all the latest versions of in-design, Adobe Photoshop and all related software necessary to accurately produce every spread to exact specifications, printer ready. Understanding that changes can occur at the 11th hour, we will provide the staff necessary to complete every project on time. We back up every project both Onsite and offsite.
Staff and Crew
The principals of our studio bring years of experience working in the field of catalog production and hire both staff and freelance talents to support their overall goals of quality, high production standards, client approval and a supportive, creative and comfortable environment. They are intimately involved in every project and yet do not micro manage but encourage every member of the staff and crew to bring their unique talents and expertise to the project. Quality control is our major motivation and everyone is dedicated towards that goal.
A Project Manager and Merchandise Coordinator is assigned to every project and one of their main purposes is to communicate any necessary updates, changes, issues, etc. with both client and crew. A photographer(s) is assigned to a project that best suits their talents. If a client chooses to work with a particular photographer or crew member, we would certainly make every effort to accommodate those requests. To support the photographers efforts, a crew of assistants, stylists, production assistants, etc. will also be dedicated to the project. We have established strong relationships with all the agencies in town as well as independent freelancers. A list of crew will be provided to the client along with the shooting schedule.
Merchandise coordination and organization is managed by the Merchandise Coordinator who will work closely with the client's samples department to maintain and track all merchandise. We maintain close contact with client to make every effort that all merchandise needed has been received or is ready to be picked up. If there is a merchandise problem that will alter the shooting schedule, we will immediately address it in order not to incur any additional costs to the client.
