Kyle Eertmoed | Graphic Design + Creative Services

Information

Eertmoed Design was established to give organizations access to exceptional design and personal service without the politics and expense of a large agency. As an independent designer, I work with small businesses, design firms and advertising agencies to help them rise above their competitors and reach their audiences through relevant, engaging communications.

My clients range from local startups to national multi-million dollar corporations. My work has appeared in award annuals such as Communication Arts, HOW Magazine, Print Magazine, Graphis and GD USA. I’ve also had the honor of being published in books by Princeton Architecural Press, Rockport Publishers and Dopress Books.

My services include creative strategy, website design, print design, identity design, art direction, HTML/CSS programming, Flash programming, website development management and print management.

Services

Creative Strategy + Branding

Creative strategy is a fancy way of saying "we need a game plan." First, we need to know what to communicate – then we need to develop a compelling way to do it. I work with you to organize your thoughts and come up with a creative strategy to bring out the value of your brand, product or service.

Strategic services include concepting, art direction, consulting, storyboards, brainstorming, mood boards, or any other form of idea generation.

Interactive Design + Development

It's rare to find a business without an online presence, yet it's even rarer to see it done well. With years of experience designing, programming and managing websites, I have a deep understanding of how the web works and what it takes to push the boundaries.

Interactive services include web design, HTML/CSS and Flash development, banner ads, information architecture and production management.

Print Design + Production

Successful print design combines the creative process with a technical printing process. In the early stages of my career, I had the opportunity of working in a print shop, where I acquired practical knowledge about traditional and modern printing techniques and processes. Hiring a designer with a foundation in commercial printing will produce better results while saving time and money.

Print services include marketing and promotional collateral, brochures, advertising campaigns, annual reports, books, catalogs, posters, packaging, publication design, pre-production and production management.

Identity Design + Implementation

A good brand starts with a good product and unfolds into a visual language that tells your story and leaves a lasting impression. A successful identity system gives you a set of standards upon which to communicate your business in a meaningful way. I have experience creating identity standards and brand guidelines for businesses of all sizes. I work with you to create the best possible first impression for your company, and every impression thereafter.

Identity services include logos, trademarks, logotypes, icons, type systems, color systems, identity standards, brand guidelines and stationery systems.
