our goal

At von Dyl Designs, our goal is provide you with outstanding graphic design along with personal attention. From initial meeting to finished product, our creative team will maintain an open line of communication with you to ensure successful design collaboration and surpassed expectations. Our creative process follows:

Interview

During initial contact, we’ll discuss your goals. We’ll listen and ask the right questions to understand your needs and requirements.

Information

We’ll gather information about your business, its competitors and the industry. This will give us a clear picture of how you are positioned and how we can help to accomplish your goals.

Ideas-to-Implementation

During the creative process, we generate several ideas that are refined until the strongest concepts emerge. We’ll then collaborate with you to further develop and finalize the best concept.

 

MARKETING

vonDyl designs can complement the efforts of your existing marketing team, or we can develop campaigns and promotions from scratch. Once we learn more about your business and your goals for the company, we can help formulate a targeted program.

 

From there, it's a matter of our design team creating engaging, functional communications that will bring you a great return on your investment.

 

Your marketing program could include direct mail pieces, brochures, ads for print and web, trade show displays, collateral materials, or even a complete re-branding of your company. Our industry professionals will help position your service or product in a unique way, strengthening your branding while receiving great results.

 

Hear what some of our partners have said about us.

ADVERTISING

Advertising is what you do when a salesman can't be there to share your unique selling proposition. With vonDyl designs as a partner, you have access to professionals who've worked for big ad agencies, run marketing departments, copy written and art directed winning campaigns. For a small firm price, you get big agency results.

 

Your outreach efforts could include trade magazines, newspapers, websites, radio, TV, environmental design (billboards, automotive wraps, bus stops), or even a table tent strategically placed. There's no limit on how we can deliver your business message.

BRANDING

In its simplest form, branding is creating an iconic symbol that speaks to the mind, can elicit an emotional response, and is memorable. At its greatest, branding can make promises, bring customer loyalty, and continue to build trust over time.

 

Competition for buyer attention is as tough as it's ever been. With businesses taking advantage of cost-effective firms like vonDyl designs, one can have a sophisticated market presence even in these transitional times.

 

If your brand is not memorable and reinforced often, you could be overlooked or forgotten. With every communication from your company, such as ads, letters, faxes, invoices, etc., you have the opportunity to strengthen and reinforce your brand. It's all about consistency, and that consistency will lead to trust, and trust will lead to loyalty.

THE WEB

A strong web presence has become a must for any serious business. Your site often becomes your first handshake with a potential client, so mediocre won't do. You need a team on your side that understands usability and what you're trying to accomplish.

 

We can create a simple informational site, or build a dynamic, database-driven e-commerece site. Whatever your level, we can make your business look sharp and advance your brand through our design.

DESIGN

If all you need is a project designed that your team has already conceived, we're happy to help. Let us be your design employee, without you carrying the overhead of staff. We'll build an ad, design a mailer, create an invitation, or update your interoffice documents—whatever is needed.

 

Items we've created include websites, magazines, books, brochures, logos, displays, posters, signs, illustrations, flyers, brand identity, ads and more.

 

Other services include photography, video, printing, design consulting, and project management.

FLASH

Flash content can provide engaging annimation to your website. It can also be used for presentations, Web banner ads and cartoons. Consider adding "flash" to your communications.

Add pizzaz to your communications with illustrations. I have created illustrations for concert posters, t-shirts, logos, and more.

I have also penned several comic strips, being both the writer and illustrator.
