Impact Design Solutions – Using technology to solve everyday problems.  We know that one of the biggest problems businesses have is their web presence.   Potential clients use web site information to determe if a business will meet their needs and expectations.  You have to put your best foot forward to compete in today’s market.  We believe that by combining many of the business needs in one place we can offer better pricing and a more consistent message across the various media platforms.  We don’t do it all, but we offer a lot of solutions to common business needs with proven results.

Creativity
It all starts with creativity and imagination. We are a creative team by nature.  We look at the world and see how we can use it in our designs.  When we see exceptional ideas, we note how that achieved the desired results. and how we may use it in future projects.  Our creativity will transform designs we do for you into high impact messages that leave a lasting impression.   Creativity is typically thought of as visual, but what we do goes beyond what you see into the depths of the computer into the servers and workstations down into the bits and bytes. It goes beyond what you can touch, it goes into imagination.  Our creativity is grounded with the ability to transform that into achievable results.  Creativity itself is no good if you cannot imagine how to make it reality.

Our creativity is applied to critical thinking, just like chess.  You have to think many moves ahead and plan for the final outcome both good and bad.  Being able to imagine the various outcomes and develop creative solutions is critical.  At Impact Design we use those talents on your behalf to help you create the best possible solutions for your buisiness.

Graphic Design
We will use our talent, our insight, our creativity and our imagination to improve or develop the graphical elements that you will need for your business.  Our goal is not just to create the graphical elements, but to create them so they can be used in other media, not just web, not just print, but in all areas.  We understand that not all elements need to be utilized in all media and we will scale the design elements according to their planned use.  By centralizing the design elements and planning on their use, it is then much easier to reuse those elements to achieve a common branded identity.  

With our graphic design we create 3d animation, illustration, 2d animation, presentation time lines, storyboarding, sketch-ups, logos, watermarks all empowered by our creative imagination and forward thinking.

Print Media
Paper, banners, flyers, newspaper, magazine, mailers, trifold, presentation folders etc…etc….It is the conventional method of presenting your business and while some of the print media is being replaced by electronic media, it will never go away. It may be in the future greatly reduced, but there will always be forms of Print Media.  We apply the same creative process to the Print Media so it presents your common branded identity.  Because we already have all of your Graphic Design Elements it makes it that much easier to produce that consistant feel.   Best of all – as we create those design elements we make sure that they are sized so they can be used in your print media – Large Scale Banners to Business Cards – they will all be created with the creative imagination to achieve a positive impression on your clients and potential customers – delivering a high impact result.

Web Media - Mobile Media
We create the Print Media with as high of an impact as it can have, there is only so much that it can do.  With the web, we can engage more of the human senses which server to captivate more potential audiences.  The goal with the web is to make it as interactive as possible, while keeping the user control over the web site (navigation, audio, video etc) easy, then deliver that WOW factor along with your message, information and products. 

Our web sites are powered by our Impact Core.  This offers the base set of common features to enable Impact Design to deliver on its promise of high impact creativity – without breaking your budget.  The best thing is that all of the features are designed to work together seamlessly allowing full features across all areas.

Application Development
Our creativity, as we said before, extends well beyond what you can see or touch.  One of our core abilities is computer programming.  Our teams have created embedded software for small hand held devices all the way up to high end telecommunication solutions using distributed multi computer processing, all working in a controlled environment to achieve common business goals.
