GRAPHIC DESIGN
Great graphic design is at the heart and core of all our marketing needs—we can’t capture the imagination of our clients without it. Only about 5secs to make that first impression. Over the years I have experience with various projects that include:
- Annual Report
- Flyers
- Maps
- Infographics
- Email Newsletters
- Website mockups
- Branding and Logo Development
Web DeSIGN
Volunteering to help a number of non-profits and business to elevate their online presence is a passion of mine. Web design impacts how your audience perceives your brand and builds trust. It provides analytics and data to understand your target audience. Here are just a couple samples of current web projects I designed and developed:
Starting a non profit foundation isnt easy and requires a lot of work and a reliance on the talent and generosity of others to help get things off the ground. To our good fortune, I was introduced to Steve Austin as a person who could help us. Steve helped us design our website and our logo. On a regular basis we receive compliments on our website and our logo from donors, grant recipients, and the public at large. Steve has been incredible to work with.....knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely talented. We would not be having the kind of early success we have had were it not for Steve’s high quality work with our foundation. We’re very fortunate to have him as part of the Cover1 team.
