As a graphic designer she has been paying close attention to typography for many years and focusing on treating letters and words as art.

We know what font you used last summer…
It’s time to switch it up and get something original going, something tactile and real. Just cause we sure do know how to use a computer doesn’t mean we need to use it to do everything! Many projects can benefit from a hand touch with a perfectly suited illustration or a bit of type whose characters have character.

Logo and branding are the centerpieces of your business, and they define who you are and what you do. So when you talk, we listen. From our very first meeting, we start compiling all the ideas, type, colors, patterns, places, and proper nouns that float your boat. Then we distill all that information into a concise and dynamic visual that speaks to your audience in a way only you can. The world is full of copycats who’ll stop at nothing to bite your style. Don’t be a victim of identity theft!

You’re not going out in that, are you? It’s not enough just to show up anymore. Great ideas need to be appropriately attired for maximum visibility in a sea of sameness. Dirty Bandits is fluent in a multitude of styles, from press kits, catalogs, and other business essentials to postcards, flyers, 12-inch covers, CD packages, and even murals. We’ll work with you to help actualize your vision on-time and on-budget.
