e could start here by launching into
a deep philosophy of the “whys”
and “hows” of the graphic marketing
industry, its history, its future and the value
of effective design. But simply put, everyone
who is in a position to buy just about any-
thing, are being exposed to visuals, imagery
and marketing messages at an increasing
pace. Just look at the amount of material that
comes through your mail, your e-mail, your
television and in almost every direction you
look. So, if you have a product or service
that you want to deliver to an audience, how
do you make it stand out from the rising tide
of competitive marketing messages?
At AXIS visual, that is precisely what we do.
Through solid knowledge of how to “posi-
tion” businesses, how to get things done,
creative thinking and a deep experience
with a broad range of industries, new and
innovative communications become reality.
But, experiencing how a creative firm thinks
and works is kind of like learning to ride a
bicycle. You can read about it for weeks but
you won’t know what it’s like to ride until you
get on one and go. And only then, will you
understand the experience... and feel the
wind through your hair.

Creating a logo or identity for a company, product or event is one of the simplest, yet most complicated
graphical challenges. A logo has to have a “feel” that is correct for the client, the product and the customer
base, in addition to having a fresh excitement that draws the viewer in to explore it further. A logo or identity
is often the “front door” for a company’s brand. There is a fine line between the obvious (overused imagery or
styles) and the obscure (misunderstood symbolism). Finding that balance in a strong,simple graphic is the goal.

Off-Screen Design

Working with off-screen media requires two specific disciplines, first, the knowledge of how to produce projects
accurately and efficiently including the understanding of how the printing process works. Second, it requires the
ability to look at the world through the eyes of the desired audience and then create a printed experience that is
exciting, educating, inspiring, motivating, or maybe “all of the above.” Printed information leads the reader through
its contents in a linear path and as a result, like a movie, it controls the pacing and order of the information.

78. Design for the Web requires some of the same disciplines as print design, as well as some additional ones.
The internet, as an information delivery, purchasing avenue or entertainment format opens the door to
many different possibilities. With the control of the information process and order in the hands of the viewer,
the design of a Web experience needs to direct the viewer, focus on higher level information, allow deeper
research and use technology to reinforce the key company messages without creating an overly active or busy
site interaction. Changing technology, mobile use and SEO all combine with the human involvement of a site
and influence the design approach and the development platform of each web site

Advertising
Advertising needs to accomplish a number of things in a short amount of time. One, it has to grab the attention of the
reader. Two, it needs to deliver a concept, usually focusing on a benefit to the reader. Three, it needs to encourage
the reader to act, usually buying something or contacting a company. All these things can be done with design
styles, conceptual imagery, humor or industry-related content. The personality of an ad should be determined by
the company’s brand, the specific product being sold and (most importantly) the target audience.

Miscellaneous
Creative drive comes in many forms. There are people doing brilliant work in architecture, mural painting, fabric art
and performance. Our focus is applying creativity to business communications. But, creativity sometimes falls outside
the typical business areas of marketing. This area of the portfolio is a “catch all,” a place to show a few additional
creative directions that may be of interest. Following a general philosophy that “I want to design everything”, here
are some additional things to browse through.
