Graphic Design & Production Services

Graphic Design & Production Services occur when you hire me to provide graphic design services under your agency's name. I can be an extra set of hands during busy seasons, or allow your business to offer services you might normally not provide.

 

This option is great for:

  • Marketing and communications agencies who are busy and need an extra set of hands;

  • Businesses who don’t have an in-house designer but have a consistent need for design materials;

  • Web developers who need custom graphics or designs;

  • Printers who would like to compliment their printing services with custom designs;

  • Freelance designers who are just plain busy and need an extra hand!

  • Logos and Branding

  • Branding Style Guides

  • Business Cards & Stationary Design

  • Marketing and Promotional Materials including annual reports, newsletters, brochures, sales sheets and booth and banner designs.

  • Website Design and Graphics

  • Google Ad Design

  • Social Media Graphics

  • Production support on print-ready artwork

As a new nonprofit organization, we needed promotional materials for our inaugural fundraising event. It was important for us to produce materials of high quality so we sourced around a bit. Karen was highly recommended to us by someone we trust and for sure, within the first 30 minutes of our phone conversation, we knew she was a professional that knew her trade well. Karen listened and interpreted our concepts into magnificent designs. She made suggestions to save us lots of money and still delivered an outstanding job. We are certainly sticking with Karen for all future jobs!

We approached Bolster Design to create a logo that would differentiate the Woodview Learning Centre, our private school, from the main agency Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services. From the start, Karen was enthusiastic about the project and offered excellent suggestions and insights. She listened to our needs, checked in to ensure that we were on track to meet our goals, and was responsive and professional through the process. We were so pleased with the final product!  Karen truly captured the essence of the Woodview Learning Centre in its stand-alone logo.
