Graphic Design

Need a logo? Want to put your logo on a promotional product, but need to adapt it to fit the printable area? There's more to graphic design than meets the eye.

Surely you have visited an unattractive and unprofessional site? Or seen a company brochure produced with a home-use graphics program and printed on a cheap inkjet printer? What's your first impression? First impressions aren't everything, but they are important.

Successful promotion requires a professional presentation more than ever with today's global competition. Don't lose the sale in the first ten seconds because of an unprofessional print or online image.

Why choose DebandRex Advertising for graphic design?

1. Aesthetic sensitivity. The art of graphic design requires more than knowing how to navigate a computer program. Aesthetic sensitivity involves an eye for color, balance, contrast, purpose, flow, etc. It knows and appreciates the essential difference between a home-made and a professional design.

2. Professional ability is more than using high-end graphic design programs and tools. Professional ability involves the knowledge and sensitivity to develop appropriate designs for various collateral involved in specific industries. For instance, designing for a trucking company requires a different approach and sensitivities than designing for a medical corporation.

3. Practical frugality. We design with materials and production costs in mind.

Our design department is standing by to provide the help you need.

June Events and Celebrations

NATIONAL DRIVE SAFE MONTH
The season of summer road trips is approaching and it's important to focus on safety and ways to prevent accidents. Custom car kits including a tire pressure gauge, jumper cables and a roadside safety manual can help vacationers ensure safe travels.

NATIONAL FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MONTH
Besides the obvious health benefits, fruits and vegetables can be a yummy snack alternative to potato chips or candy. Help local grocery stores or school cafeterias promote their produce with logoed veggie peelers or fruit-and vegetable-shaped stress balls.

TOOTHBRUSH INVENTED - JUNE 26
This dental necessity was invented in 1498 consisting of coarse hog hair and bamboo. Luckily, toothbrushes have come a long way since that time. Now it is a vital part of our morning and evening hygiene ritual. Customized travel kits complete with toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and mouthwash can give anyone a reason to smile.
