PRINT

Ink Ocho is committed to sustainable design. We make an effort to avoid using non-renewable resources and we reduce the amount of materials needed for print production. Websites and the era of digital information make the need for paper and ink nearly obsolete; however, there is still something to be said for messages traditionally set on paper and what many in the industry consider the "touch" factor. In any designer's portfolio there is an accumulated collection of rich and exciting samples in printed form.

Let us help you develop and design the print materials needed to attract and hold your customers’ attention. You have but one chance to make a great first impression and the most effective example of your abilities is the one you can leave in your clients’ hands.

WEB

Websites are ubiquitous nowadays when it comes to advertising your business. A website will enable you to reach a bigger audience and promote the services your company provides. In our technology-driven society the internet is the prevalent way people search for products and services. On the internet there are no time restrictions or any locations that are too remote. The Web is the ultimate tool for communicating with your customers and indicating why they should choose your business.

In today's design industry, more and more web designers are basing their creations on the foundations of print techniques. The flexibility of web design accompanied with the power of printed typography techniques will help set your website apart from your competitors’.

The beauty of the internet is that unlike print, color has no real cost impact when it comes to designing your website. We are inspired by the range of adventurous approaches this provides for your project. Let us help by providing a website that will represent you, your organization or your business. Circulate your knowledge, ideas and products for the world to access. Whether you desire a simple two-page website just to get your feet wet, or a complete redesign of an existing website, Ink Ocho will help you harness the potential and power the internet can provide you and your business.

BRANDING & IDENTITY

One of the most important aspects of any marketing strategy is creating a branding image that is unique. If your branding is effective, your customers will remember it long after they have used your product or services; therefore, in today’s competitive marketplace you must make your business stand out with an identity package that speaks to your style and vision.

Ink Ocho's identity packages are assessed and custom-created according to our clients’ needs. By defining the needs of your company we can determine where the branding will be used, what mediums are required and the formats they need to be in. This could be as simple as creating business cards and stationary, or as detailed as developing a variety of robust graphic standards manuals outlining the use of your branding ranging from large-format billboards to internet pages.

Color is a large factor and will likely influence the cost and end result of your identity package. We enjoy educating our clients on the differences between digital and print production, spot and full color designs and how they affect where you can utilize your branding most effectively and efficiently.

ILLUSTRATION

A picture is worth 1000 words; at Ink Ocho Studios this is an expression we live by. The history of visual art and design has shown us that visual communication influences our world. Its adaptation is pivotal in the evolution of mankind's thought process and how we perceive or are told to perceive what we see. In today's world, a wealth of digital tools is found in almost any illustrator’s arsenal; however, the need still exists to balance traditional techniques and new methods in order to keep design progressive and relevant.

At Ink Ocho we understand the importance of illustration and the need for pen-on-paper conceptualization. We also recognize how influential and memorable great works of illustration are and welcome adding this special touch of creativity to our projects. Whether we are developing a character mascot as part of your identity package or incorporating modern or traditional styles into your original print or web based material, we enjoy the challenge.
