How did I get here?
I’ve been asked, “How did you become a graphic designer?” This question pops up from time to time,...
With more than 22 years of print design experience; if you need it, I’ve done it. Some of the most common requests from clients are: annual report, banner, brochure, business cards, caricature, catalog, direct mail, illustration, logo, magazine (and newspaper) ad, outdoor board, packaging, postcard, poster, program, signage, t-shirt, technical drawing, and vehicle wrap.
From short documentary to animated presentations or even commercials, motion design includes a wide gamut. My favorite part about this media is storytelling; if a picture tells a thousand words, a moving picture tells even more. I would love to discuss your motion design project and how to best achieve your goals. From script writing, filming, editing, and production – let me animate your story.
Print is tradition but, in modern times, it cannot stand alone. A great website is needed in order to have a real market share opportunity for your product or service – even if that product is you! Case in point, the website you are on right now. If you need an online presence, there’s no better way than to start with a great website. Let’s find your global potential.
The first step is easy; you just contact me. If you know what you want, we will talk about your project; if you’re unsure, we will talk about options. In either case we will define the project specifications and cost. I try to keep my prices reasonable and my design outstanding. My ultimate goal is to create such a great product and experience that three things happen: you’re happy you called, you refer me to others, and you come back for any future design needs.
Good graphic design is just a visual solution to a client’s problem. That’s not all there is to good graphic design; there’s actually a lot more. That said, the second step in the process is pretty fun; we talk about elements that need to be included in the final outcome (e.g. “I want a retro look”). I encourage you to find inspirational examples of the elements you like and want. We are not going to copy anything; however, understanding your vision will help me execute that vision. If you don’t have a vision, don’t worry. I have enough creativity for the both of us; you’re in good hands so just turn me loose.
The third step is my creative process, the end of which presents to you some graphic solutions. Like a team, you and I each make changes to one or two favorite designs until we achieve the perfect look. My favorite part of design is the successful outcome of this collaborative process. In the end, we’re both happy and proud of our work. If I’m giving you a digital file to be produced by a vendor of your choice, then we move to the last step in the process. If you’d like me to produce the project also, I’d be happy to handle that for you.
Now the project is complete, I will send you a PayPal invoice. You don’t need a PayPal account in order to pay; it works just like the credit/debit card machine at the grocery store. Once you pay, I will either send you digital files or the end product.
My Courage & Drive
Being creative requires the willpower to move into the unknown, use of super abilities, and being a hero.
My Harmony
Finding a sweet-sounding balance is a skill in itself… and I try very hard to be smoooooooth baby.
My Personality
I don’t need anything! Except this… a good sense of humor; and that’s it, nothing else. Oh and this…lots of heart. A good sense of humor and lots of heart, and that’s all. And being clever. A good sense of humor, lots of heart, this remote control and being clever.
My Professionalism
Wins come from a place of experience, team strategy, and top-of-the-game execution.
Errick has done several projects for my business and I could not be more pleased or ask for more of him…excellent work, efficient quick turnaround and professional reliable service. I will continue to use his expertise and have recommended his services to several friends and business professionals.
Kevin, customer
I have used Errick on a couple of different design and logo projects. His attention to detail and artistic ability are second to none. He is extremely easy to work with and his passion for design shows thru in his projects. I would highly recommend Errick for any design needs you may have.
Tray, customer
As a not-for-profit agency every dollar we spend is under careful scrutiny. Our efforts to tell our story and engage our audience must be effective and efficient. Errick’s work on our logo, promotional materials and website have given our agency a professional look at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Errick!!
Bryan, customer
Errick has designed the work and the wraps for my food trucks. I firmly believe you have to have a visually appealing base to draw customers in; they eat with their eyes first. I credit Errick and his designs for the success I have had with both of my trucks.
Dan, customer
I have used Mr. Braggs on a few different projects for a couple organizations I serve. He has created everything from web design, brochures, to logos. His work is top notch and we could not be more pleased by the finished product. He is a professional and has great communication with the customer to achieve their need.
Jason, customer
Probably one of the most rare virtues in our culture today is that of the “Listener”. I was told about Errick through a friend, saw his work and reached out to him. Our first run of ideas were great but not quite what I was looking for. That’s when it became impressive. Errick listened well and nailed just what we wanted. Could not be happier with the outcome! He is now our guy.
