“Hartford Design has consistently responded to our marketing communications needs with highly effective customized solutions. They don’t come to the table with preconceived opinions and the same old cookie-cutter approaches. They begin by listening, and strategically tailor sound recommendations based on the client’s business goals and objectives. Hartford Design works with me as a team, demonstrating incredible flexibility and common sense – all of which are key ingredients for succeeding in today’s ever-changing world of financial services.”
“The people at Hartford Design are more than designers, they are communicators. They begin by understanding a company and its strategy. They get to know and work closely with the people who stand behind the logo. But more importantly, they know that design can do more than catch the eye and please the senses. Design can bolster the message. It can express an idea. Evoke emotions. Clarify and powerfully underscore a message. Hartford Design skillfully uses design in concert with other elements to tell a company’s story and give a sense of its personality.”
“The Chicago chapter of the AIGA recently released a 32-page booklet titled, The Graphic Design Handbook for Business. It would be a good idea to buy a stack of these and hand them out to your current, potential and future clients. I bet that very few businesses know precisely what contribution designers make and this booklet tells them in an easy-to-read style. To paraphrase an important sentence in the booklet, ’Design can transform intangible assets into those that people immediately understand.’ ”
“I just finished reading The Graphic Design Handbook for Business and think it’s wonderful! It’s a great communication piece for companies considering the usefulness of graphic design. As an AIGA member in Atlanta, I wish we as an organization had more pieces like this to promote our industry in the positive way it deserves.”
“Working with Hartford Design is like having a trusted partner who cares as much about the end product as you do. They are very successful in collaborating with you to unite design and content so that they perfectly inform and enhance one another. That requires understanding your business objectives, loads of creativity, meticulous attention to detail and nuance, and close collaboration. Hartford brings all that to the table, plus a much appreciated respect for budgets, timeframes, and other issues that typically surround such efforts.”
