Communicating Visually
In the simplest of terms, graphic design is a method of visual communication using text and/or images to present an idea or deliver a message. Professional graphic design is often a collaborative endeavor; writers produce words, photographers and illustrators create images and the art director incorporates these components into a cohesive presentation.
The term graphic design refers to both the process by which the work is created and the products of the work. Although graphic design is often associated with printed media (such as books, magazines and brochures), I specialize in graphic design for electronic media, such as, software applications, web sites, multimedia, PDFs, and related material.

My Role
OIG was looking to create a more professional corporate appearance and came to me for help. They wanted a cleaner and more effective brand ID which would help them to stand out in the spatial technologies market. Working with the executive team, I assisted in the development of more polished marketing collateral. This included the design of their new logo, creation of matching print material, web properties and other cohesive assets.
Update: OIG was acquired by SANZ, Inc.
Logo Design
What is a logo?
A logotype, commonly known as a logo, is a graphic design which [visually] represents a product, trademark or brand.
A logo typically contains multiple "design elements" such as text, stylized images and iconography which are arranged together in a creative formation. The shape, color, and placement of these elements are intended to be unique so that the logo stands out from the competition. This design is also meant to be legible so the brand is easily identifiable at a glance.
