A great logo can go a long way in identifying who you are. It is your first chance to impress people. It is the thing you want people to remember above all of your competitors. Conversely, a poorly designed logo can give people a negative view of you and your company or project that can last even after they've seen how great that product is! You want every advantage you can to let folks know you are serious and trustworthy. The right logo will do all that, and will hopefully pop into their minds when they are looking for what you offer - hopefully before someone else who offers the same thing.

When I design a logo, I am looking to acheive 3 objectives: First, to as closely as possible, communicate the heart of the person or company. Second, utilize whenever I can to make people think about what they are looking at (for example, "Redhare" makes you think not only of 'red hair', but all of rabbits. Then making the word "hare" red, and the word "red" white ...) That extra time spent processing the anomalies helps people to memorize your logo and hopefully remember you. Third, I attempt to communicate excellence and stability. All of this goes toward letting people know you are good at what you do, you are trustworthy, and you will be around for awhile!

Once we've established your logo, we can then set up norms for all of your other print materials so that everything works in conjunction with your logo. This is the beginning of branding. By defining a consistant style, you increase peoples ability to identify you through your communications, even at a glance. I can create all of these materials, or set up style guides for your art department or other vendors to follow to ensure a consistent presentation.

I love making posters, postcards, rack cards, and brochures! I have done work in the past for music legends like Toto, Pat Benatar, Jefferson Airplane, and The Eagles, and more recently for local businesses and festivals like the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. I would love to help your business to look as professional as possible by designing all of your promotional materials. See my Print Portfolio for examples of my work.

I was raised in a time where album covers were some of the most important art in our lives! I have always been inspired by great cover artwork - Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer - classic and iconic. I see CD artwork as an opportunity to, just like a great logo, emblazen a project onto the viewer's memory. I can certainly give your CD or DVD a distinctive and profession look that will get noticed - even on the messy desk of a disc jockey who has 20 unsolicited CDs visually vying for his attention! I've worked with all of the major CD makers - Oasis, Discmakers, CD Baby ... and although not as a designer, I DID work at Capitol Records in Hollywood as a young man! See some of my work on my portfolio.

The prices below are for the concept development, templating, color proofs, final artwork, and submission to the printer.

I design book covers, mainly for clients who are self-publishing, and want their work to look as good as anything you would find on the best-seller list. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oprah holding up one of my designs on TV!

I just finished a project where I helped my client all the way from final editing, to cover, to obtaining an ISBN number and bar code, and finally, publishing the final book. We used Lulu for pubishing and Publisher Services for the registration side. I only charge a small administrative fee to secure the ISBN, and will be happy to help you through the process.

One of the most gratifying things I do, is seeing a Redhare logo design make it onto the front of a business. Although I do love creating websites and print materials, like brochures, ads, and rack cards, it's especially great to see my work in 3D, out on the street for everyone to see! So I take great care in the details, to make sure each job is done precisely and with the best materials, so that sign lasts for years. It reflects on Redhare, but more importantly, it reflects on you, my client. First impressions are the most important, so the front of your business should tell people that you care about quality and style, whatever it is you offer at your place of business.

I will consult with you to make sure sure you are completely satisfied with your project at every step - from design, to construction, to installation. I manage the entire process, and bring in the very best contractors to build and install your signage. All of my sign work is done by Astoria master sign-maker, Red Dwarf Graphx, and I work directly with them to make sure everything comes in on time and on budget. Check out my work here on my portfolio.

Redhare can design any size sign you need, from simple vinyl signs to elaborate custom neon. Email me to make an appointment to discuss designing a sign for your business today!

Redhare designs vinyl banners for a variety of purposes. After re-designing the logo and branding for the oldest festival west of the Rockies, the Astoria Regatta, I spent five years creating all of the printed materials needed to make the festival a first-rate week of events each and every year from 2013 to 2018. I designed the float graphics, as well as all of the vinyl banners carried in not only the Regatta Grand Land Parade, but a number of parades all over the Northwest. I've also done banners and other promotional materials for local non-profit organizations like Jordan's Hope for Recovery, Riverfolk, Crisis Support Network, and other local businesses like the Astoria Riverwalk Inn.

Along with a great sign, I also design the perfect lettering for your front door or window. Your logo, phone number, hours of operation and/or any tag line you'd like to display can be tastefully and professionally done in vinyl lettering. Redhare can also brand your work truck, car, traler, or anything else you would like to display your logo, phone, and website address on. We can also design entire auto wraps.

If you have a business on a busy street or are surrounded by a lot of other storefronts, it can be hard to stand out, especially to traffic whizzing by. An "A" board - or sandwich board - can offer some much needed visability. And having one that is professionally designed with your own particular branding can make all the difference. The two other considerations are: how will it hold up in windy, rainy weather, and how heavy is it to drag out to the sidewalk in the morning and back inside when you close. Redhare offers a few choices that will address your given needs. But in all cases, you will get a beautifully designed sign that will hold up through years of regular use. You can see some examples of the work I've done in my Portfolio.

I have a good record helping folks get elected. I designed the websites and campaign materials that led to Astoria Mayor Bruce Jones winning his City Counsel position in 2016 and the mayor's race in 2018. I can help you, too! Besides an informative website, it's important to get your message out there in a concise and memorable way. A campaign that has a recognizable brand, that remains consistent across all visual media is essential. I have the experience and the  talent to help you win. Vote for me!

I also create beautiful full-color secular and religious programs or mass cards to honor your loved one. I also create presentations using video, photos, and music for the funeral service. Click here to see some examples of my work. Call me at 503,616.6472 or Email me for a consultation.
