Creative

Context is important to creativity. Design must fit the audience and the needs of the client, even if it pushes the design envelope.

Services

Web Design

We consult with you to understand your business, your clients and your goals for your web site's strategy. Web design is more than making a site look pretty, it is about crafting the best experience for your user that will make them want to engage with your site and return time and time again. Form follows function, not the other way around.

Print Design

While the web is becoming the ever-increasing marketing channel, printed materials and collateral will always be present in most industries. We work with our clients to give a consistent feel to all of their marketing and promotional materials across the web and print.

Identity & Logo Design

One of the keys to success for any company is an eye-catching logo and brand identity. A good logo is a building block at the base of your company or organization's brand, but a brand design is so much more than just a logo.

Marketing Design

We design effective marketing communications, marketing and sales collateral, and print advertising for business-to-business and consumer-focused companies in diverse fields from the medical industry to tech products.

Presentation Design

High quality presentations are a key tool for most businesses. We design effective, professional presentations from screen to environment. The best presentation delivers the message in an organized manner, yet suprises the viewer in the details.

Product & Package Design

Venus Designs has created hundreds of paper product designs and packaging designs for large and small brands alike. Our work is featured in Target, Walmart, Officemax, Office Depot and other large retail stores.
