Services

Icon

Web Design

Web design starts with strategy – we consult with clients to understand the specific goals for the users of their site. We start with a site map, then move to wireframes, and finally build and test the site. Web design follows function, not the other way around.

Icon

Print Design

With over 15 years of experience developing grid-based print design – we can handle everything from brochures, to books, to annual reports. We work with – or develop – clients' brand standards to create consistency across the web and print.

Identity & Logo Design

Logo design is the foundation of the brand identity, but not the whole brand. We specialize in building digital brand kits that include all the elements you need to roll out your brand in-house and out.

Icon

Marketing Design

We design effective marketing communications, marketing and sales collateral, and print advertising for business-to-business and consumer-focused companies in diverse fields from the medical industry to tech products.

Icon

Presentation Design

High quality presentations are a key tool for most businesses. We design effective, professional presentations from screen to environment. The best presentation delivers the message in an organized manner, yet suprises the viewer in the details.

Icon

Product & Package Design

Venus Designs has created hundreds of paper product designs and packaging designs for large and small brands alike. Our work is featured in Target, Walmart, Officemax, Office Depot and other large retail stores.
