Words and pictures together:
The best way to tell your story.
Effective visual design combines words and images to inspire a desired action. At LBCD, the focus is on building communications and marketing tools that benefit my clients. Usually that means “Buy my product or service.” It can also mean “Support my cause” or “Vote for me.
Good design is actually behavior modification.
Communication between my clients and me is the first and most important step in creating effective work. This means that the design process starts with listening to the client.
“The function of design is to communicate, and for that, we must use known symbols.” — Milton Glaser
I’ve been creating work that works for decades. Please take a look at my design examples and read what some of my clients have had to say about what I’ve done for them.
