We are looking for the most challenging
design and graphic problems.
We create brands that sell.
We want your product to visually
explode off the shelves and
stand out from the competition.
If you're a small business,
and you want to break out
of the mold of nephew art*
we can help.
We will make serious visual statements
about your business that will
step up to and over your competition.
If you feel it's time to make that move
for your business or product ...
contact us. We can help.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
• Idea
• Rough Sketch
• 3-D Renderings
• Name/Trademark Search
• Develop Prototype
• Instructional Design/Patent
• Graphics—Brand/License
• Create Selling Tools—Sell Sheet/Comp
• Finalize All Artwork for Production
ILLUSTRATION
Sometimes you need a character or
illustration to sell your product
more efficiently.
We have an extended staff of illustrators to meet any style needs.
Your final art will be color corrected
for both print and web applications.
PACKAGE DESIGN/BRANDING
• Discuss options for line or product:
who is the consumer?
• Create graphics that enhance
consumer brand/identity.
• Choose a design from several
different approaches.
• Decide which one best
communicates the final goal.
• Apply final graphics to whole line
or product.
PACKAGE/DISPLAY CREATION
• Discuss options for product:
• Where it's sold and displayed
• Competitive products
• Time and budget
• Choose material: corrugated,
E flute, PVC,
vacuum form, tin,
shrink wrap, etc.
• Sketch designs
• Develop prototype
• Create final specifications
• Apply Final Artwork for Production
PHOTOGRAPHY
We shoot almost all of our
work in our studio.
We create all images using
state-of-the-art digital equipment.
Using separate monitors, our clients see what we see, easily making adjustments as necessary.
RETOUCHING
Unfortunately, it's not always a perfect
world. Your product or prototype isn't
quite what it should be ... yet.
However, you can't hold up the
production schedule.
No problem.
We can go as far as rendering your
product from a simple sketch.
Maybe it
needs a special effect or glow, is
missing a part, or is not made out of the end material. Yes, we can fix all that.
After residing in New York City's Toy District for over 15 years,
we decided to pick up our stakes and move to greener pastures (literally).
Our new pen is located on the beautiful North Shore of Long Island,
still not far from our original home
(13 miles by boat, 24 miles by tractor, or 35 minutes by train).
Besides more elbow room and a prettier landscape,
it is a much calmer and relaxed atmosphere.
(Not to mention we can get on the boat a lot quicker after work.)
Except for our initial meeting for new projects
(and if the client wants to be involved with a photo shoot),
we basically use internet technology for all our work transactions.
We have an FTP site to exchange large files.
If we need multiple location meetings,
we are hooked up with video conferencing.
