the process
Listen to the client, listen to the client’s public.
Acquiring and evaluating knowledge about your product, company or event is the first step in developing messaging that is correct, clear and impactful. Concepts are developed and presented with variety and creativity and you can be confident that all the choices offered hit the target message.
A full-service graphic design firm, Maria Gabriele Design (MGD) can go beyond the creative to manage production and ensure the design integrity of your project — whether we’re liaising with your suppliers or managing MGD’s trusted network of suppliers.
