| Akeson Design has
a long established history of designing and producing many types
of printed materials, as well as a successful history of web site
design and implementation. Since 1990, Akeson Design has grown and
matured into a talented, competitive, and resourceful business.
We cover all areas of producing your project:
Creative Solutions / Conceptualization
Often, a client has a direction that they would like to see their
project head, however they do not know how to get it there. Or the
client has existing material, and needs it modified or expanded
on and would like to look at options. This is where Akeson Design
comes in. Let us look at the issues involved, and help find a 'means'
to a successful end product. This could be anything from working
from a blank piece of paper, where the project is wide open and
does not yet have a direction or 'look', to finding alternative
solutions to complete a project with a restricted budget.
Art Direction / Photo Direction
Once a project has begun, the majority of the time, the projects
are completely developed in-house. However, depending on the project,
there are times when the project requires other outside professionals
to assist us, including photography, copywriting, illustrations,
special web-site scripting, or production of your project to assure
utmost quality and timing of completion. As Art Director, we plan
the process and work with all parties involved to ensure work is
done within time restraints, in budget, and the same common direction
/ theme of the project.
Graphic Design / Production
Whether your project is to be printed, or placed on the internet,
good graphic design is an essential part to it's success. At Akeson
Design, we have the exceptional talent, and established experience
needed to fulfill this area of expertise. Hand-in-hand with the
design aspect of a project, is having exceptional production skills,
capable of bringing the design to it's successful fruition. Akeson
Design has the technical know-how, the artistic creativeness, the
experience, and the professional resources required to start, and
complete any size project.
Print and Internet
At completion, your project will be printed in some manner, or is
produced for viewing on the internet, or both. Eric Akeson, owner
of Akeson Design has been in the graphic design industry since the
early eighties, and has owned Akeson Design since 1990. This type
of background has afforded us with many different forms of printed
projects, giving us an advantage of knowing all those little unwritten
rules of the do's and don'ts regarding layout, colors, graphics,
typography, etc. when producing materials for print. Even though
many of the guidelines are different for internet publishing, there
are just as many visualization, color, navigational, and image processing
guidelines to be considered. This is where we can help you the most.
Press Check
When the time come to print your project, you can count on us to do
your press checking if applicable. This is taking the project to it's
final procedure of printing the piece, and supervising the process,
checking everything from registration alignment to color correctness.
We do however always suggest a reputable printing facility to ensure
best results.
