My name is David, and I make things look better ...
Usually by providing a logotype, graphic design, photography or artwork : to boost a website which needs a bit of differentiating, or by tweeking existing work which needs bringing up to date.
Especially for smaller agencies, I know it can be difficult for a site to both “work well”, and to also “look amazing” ... Together with the client, my job is to make things look amazing.
I work with both design agencies and for clients directly, to help improve their graphic elements.
Adding a strong logotype design can make all the difference to a website, or any presentation.
I like to concentrate on strong but basic typography, and use this
in a multi-disciplinary approach, which means I mainly design new logotypes and / or housestyles. So : a logo, typeface sets, supporting layouts / identity guides, iconography, graphic and background imagery : according to requirements.
For agencies, I also specialise in providing graphics such as bespoke icon sets from the Wireframe stage onwards, for both custom and template type responsive sites.
I’m also one of the few designers that can provide bespoke typefaces for Mac or PC, in Open or TrueType formats, for personal or business use.
It seems that everyone also thinks I take really good photographs, although have to admit that most of that reputation is due to the editing. I’ve been using Photoshop since Version 2.0, almost 30 years ago. Click HERE for a couple of examples
I can also provide print artwork for business stationery, posters & advertising, and can set-up high-end print work for 1 to 6 colour (litho) process, duotone and metallic, as well as digital.
I still make the odd website, usually about one a year. Unless they’re built from a template though, they’re becoming very complicated, and fiddly, and they take ages. So they’re by special request. I used to be famous for Flash animation; nowadays I like to play with animated svg’s and JavaScript.
If you’re an agency that shines at the technical stuff but the graphical stuff is one step beyond, and need a white-label developer to raise the design quality
... or ...
If you’re a company that might want a new website but don’t want the great expense and effort (again) of going all out on a new website design and just want to update the graphics
... or ...
If everything is working great but you need some
