Your company's identity is visually expressed through its logo, which is one of the main things that
make your business memorable. Every logo that looks good in black and white will look good in color; but the reverse is not always true. For that reason all concepts are originally presented in one color.
The first step in developing a brand is to clearly define your brand and what is stands for.
Brand development initiatives do not have to be a million dollar investment. There are 3 key elements
to a brand development strategy: Who are you? Who needs to know? Why should they care?
There are many different types of print media, all effective in their own ways. While there are
many ways to convey a message to a consumer, print media is one of the oldest forms of advertising.
It also remains to be one of the most popular forms because it can reach a wider target audience.
The difference between print media and digital media is that print media is viewed through print
resources such as newspapers, magazines and brochures, whereas digital media such as websites,
apps, banner ads and electronic forms are viewed using computers and hand-held devices.

“She is always teaching those around her.”
She can stare down the most intimidating project or time line and make it known that she is its master. I have worked with her on many projects, and never saw her lose sight of doing a perfect job, regardless of what wrinkles popped up in the course of the project. What’s more, she is so well versed in design as well as in production, she is always teaching those around her. When Lisa has worked on a project, those who have worked on that team have been enriched.
ADAM PIERNO
Director of Brand Strategy at Santy
“Providing work on time and within budget.”
Lisa Quirin is a dedicated and accurate art director/graphic designer. She pays extreme detail and care to her projects, always providing work on time and within budget. She was fun to work with in high-pressure situations as she was always willing to get the work done and handled pressure with a smile. While working as an account executive you encounter many creatives and Lisa stands out in my mind as one of the best you can have on your team.
JENNA DOUCETT-RUTSCHMAN
Founder, The Bathroom Sink
“Extremely creative and talented.”
Lisa is not only extremely creative and talented, but also professional and business-minded. I've seen her work on a variety of projects within a wide-range of industries and she is always able to tune into her client's products and needs. She listens and gently directs clients towards visual design that delivers their mission and message. Lisa is passionate about what she does and life in general. She is willing to help others in a crunch, always has a kind word and is extremely funny.
JILL ROTH
Global Communications, Marriott International
“Always finds solutions.”
I would highly recommend Lisa as an art director or graphic designer.
She is great with clients, has an amazing attention to detail, always finds solutions
to or prevents altogether any problems, and made every project not only on time,
but also exceeded expectations. In addition, she's a delight to work with.
KARIN VALENTINE
Media Relations and Marketing Manager
“An invaluable part of our team.”
Lisa is a very positive person and a leader who enjoys communicating her creative ideas while having fun along the way. She has been an invaluable part of our team. Her attention to detail, persistence to achieve perfection, patience, humor, energy, and listening skills are just a few of her amazing talents. I was always inspired by Lisa's great attitude and professionalism. The office would light up when she walked in because she is funny and cared about our employees.
RAD WENDZICH
Senior User Experience Designer at Amazon
“She demanded and delivered excellence.”
Lisa came to Goodby Detroit and single-handedly formatted sections of the brochures
to a higher standard. Hers. We loved that she demanded (and delivered) excellence.
One art director in particular would not let anyone but Lisa touch his car book.
If you get a chance to work with her, you're lucky. We certainly were.
TERRY ORSLAND
Sr. Copywriter at The Designory
“She is among the best in the business.”
I hired Lisa (several times) but first during a critical time I needed an entire magazine's nuts and bolts put together in a very short amount of time under some fairly stringent corporate rules.
Lisa was able to take what we had in progress and take it to a new level I never imagined. Her expertise is among the highest I've ever known and her personality was a pleasure to work with. She is among the best in the business...she delivers what you don't even know you need!
