The $24k Question: what, exactly, do I do?

Services

From logos to web­sites, and everything in between, when it comes to design, whatever your needs, Trig­gers & Sparks has you covered!

Addi­tion­ally, if there’s some­thing I don’t do, I’ve developed stra­tegic part­ner­ships with a whole host of bril­liant people. Need an illus­tra­tion? Search engine optim­iz­a­tion? Pho­to­graphy? Custom pro­gram­ming? I know a guy. (Or five.)

Oh, and if you already know a guy, I play well with others.

Are you making the world a better place? I want to help! Non-profits and registered char­ities receive a 10% dis­count on any of my services.

How does it all work? Well, my design pro­cess is all about you. We start by fig­uring out pre­cisely what you need. Some cli­ents know exactly what they want and just need their vision made into reality, others need design help from the ground up—either way, we’ll begin with talking about you and your busi­ness, and how I can make it even better with design!

When all the talking (or emailing, as the case may be) is done, the work starts. First off: rough mockup designs based on everything we talked about. From there, it’s a back-and-forth pro­cess of revi­sions, com­bining and refining ele­ments until it all comes together into a design you’re sure to love.

Here are just some of the design ser­vices Trig­gers & Sparks offers:

Logos & Branding

Logos & Branding

First impres­sions do count, and the first thing your cus­tomers see of you is your logo. What is it telling them?

  • Logo devel­op­ment If you’re just launching a busi­ness, now is the time to invest in a quality design and a con­sistent branding scheme. Get an iconic visual that rep­res­ents your com­pany and what it stands for.
  • Logo redesign Your logo was designed in 1982 and fea­tures a swoosh. Per­haps it’s time for an overhaul.
  • Iden­tity devel­op­ment You’ve got a logo; now you need a busi­ness card, and a let­ter­head, and maybe a whole range of other mater­ials. I can make sure your look is con­sistent throughout, so everything just fits together.
  • Brand exten­sion Got a fancy-pants branding doc­u­ment from a big agency? I can work within these guidelines to create new mater­ials that suit your developed brand.

Web­sites & web marketing

Websites & online marketing

Every year, more and more con­sumers get con­nected to the internet. Are you there to greet them?

  • Custom con­tent man­age­ment sys­tems If you need to update your web­site a lot, I can build you a cus­tom­ized system that’s easier to use than MS Word, even if you don’t know a lick of HTML.
  • Simple static “bro­chure” web­sites Just want to get your inform­a­tion out there? Well, sure.
  • Domain regis­tra­tion & web hosting Don’t know what this means? Don’t you worry about a thing…I’ve got it covered.
  • Blog design & devel­op­ment I’ve worked with most sys­tems, though my per­sonal pref­er­ence run to Word­Press: open source and highly con­fig­ur­able, I can make your blog do whatever you need it to do.
  • Email news­letter design & coding Want to mass-mail your friends & family?

Pro­mo­tional Material

Print Promotions

If you can print it out, or show it on a screen, I can make it eye-catching and gorgeous.

  • Advert­ise­ments (print & web) Need some­thing cheeky for the Sunday paper? I’m on it.
  • Printed pro­mo­tions Bro­chures, mail­outs, stickers, t-shirts, flyers, post­cards, news­let­ters, packaging—don’t just put your logo on it, make it look lovely to boot.
  • Resumes A beau­ti­fully designed and well-written resume will get your foot in the door.
  • Inform­a­tion design Your menus, signs, posters, annual reports, and wed­ding invit­a­tions will have so much more pan­ache if they’re pro­fes­sion­ally designed.
  • Cre­ative col­lab­or­a­tions Some of my favourite pro­jects have been book covers, CD covers, and the like. Let’s make your work a work of art.

Client Love Notes

Sarah did a fantastic and very hard-working job on our website. She gave it a whole new updated look, an easy-to-use graphical interface, and much-improved navigation capabilities. We didn’t even have to worry about changing and testing all our links and bookmarks, because Sarah’s impressive attention to detail took care of all that for…
