Web Site Design - HTML

Your web site should be as unique as your company and should work cohesively with all your entire Brand Marketing and communication initiatives. A business' web presence is often the main factor in whether it is a contender in your market or not. It may be the ONLY opportunity you will have to influence a potential customer. Design the Planet recognizes our client's desire to share their Brand, products and services, philosophy, and benefits with those who seek to do business with them.

At DESIGN THE PLANET we work closely with clients to learn and understand their industry, Brand, and positioning before designing anything for them. Our clients deserve a one of a kind web site that sets them apart from their competition and moves them toward accomplishing their profit goals and service objectives. Most importantly, we help clients utilize the internet to establish mutually beneficial communication with their consumers ensuring a positive relationship.

Web Site Design - Flash

So, your company competes in a dynamic, fast paced, leading-edge industry! To get noticed, you MUST make an impact and to keep your customers coming back; you have to entertain them. Animation-based web and multimedia design may be your answer.

Have you ever come across a web site that makes you say: “This is cool! I need to send this link to my friends!”? Flash allows you to grab your visitors attention and to interact with their senses. Design the Planet's dynamic approach to web design brings together motion, streaming information, sound and digital effects through interactive games, video, presentations, and interactive communications. We can make recommendations on how to integrate a variety of entertainment-focused solutions into your web site’s architecture.

Multimedia Design

Take your communications to the next level with an interactive mini-disc or CD that delivers directly to your prospects or clients, and gets you noticed fast!

Have an event or trade show coming up? Temporary or event specific web sites and multimedia kits can dramatically increase interest and attendance at these events. CD catalogs and presentations sent before and after your events can help you optimize audience involvement in these programs and continue the success of your event. Contact our Brand Marketing team at Design the Planet to help you determine if these initiatives can positively impact your promotion and awareness campaigns.

Print Media, Brochure and Publication Design

Print media and communications are necessary for every successful business. Your print media design, whether it be a monthly newsletter, annual report, product catalog, or a stylish brochure, DEFINES your company and its image.

Our print media specialists at Design the Planet have over 35 years of collective experience and have built relationships with production and materials experts to ensure our clients get unique, effective and cost-efficient printed materials to meet their needs. Applying your company identity and message to stylishly savvy, business-oriented materials will ensure that you communicate effectively with your target audience long after you have left them, or long before you meet them.

Our approach to design is focused on learning about your business, your clientele, and your industry. Design the Planet's approach allows us to become your "in-house" design and marketing department. Attention will be placed on designing tools for you with a consistent theme and message and then applying them to the appropriate materials that reflect a consistent and appropriate look and feel.

To ensure absolute quality, we take the print media and publication design process one step further. We supervise the process and production from conceptualization to delivery since there are an enormous number of variables that effect the quality of your printed materials. When you consider the huge variety of paper solutions, printing methods, color combinations and applications associated with producing a print media project, you will come to realize the importance of working with our team of specialists. Our staff is specially trained to work with production resources to ensure your printed materials look their absolute best.  That means that your Design the Planet team will be on location (local resources only) checking quality and design consistency when your materials come off the press.

Print Advertisement Design

Industry publications, business journals, magazines, newspapers, and community and association newsletters are part of an important marketing channel. Maximizing their effectiveness requires experienced marketing and design skills. Undertaking a print media ad campaign can be vital to your company's Brand Marketing system and it can be an effective means of reaching a broad audience with a very specific or generalized message. Creating an effective ad campaign for a specific audience requires an understanding of various factors specific to your business such as:

 •Selecting the most effective media and medium
 •Choosing the proper size and placement of the ad
 •Content and look that is consistent with your overall Branding strategy
 •Applying the proper frequency and coverage
 •Consistency with other campaigns
 •Tracking effectiveness

Utilizing Design the Planet’s marketing staff to design, coordinate, and manage your overall marketing usage will guarantee that your marketing dollars are directed efficiently, your message reaches the right audience, and the available space and ad format is fully utilized.

Before you make an impulse decision to advertise in a print media publication as a quick fix to filling your business pipeline, give us a call. We will help you decide whether it is the best use of your advertising dollars, and if so, fully maximize the channel’s benefits.

Logo Design

Think of your company logo and identity package (signage system, stationary kit, marketing materials) as your company's self-portrait. It serves to define, differentiate, and position your business in the minds of your customers and prospects. To permeate and captivate your audience’s mind-share, it must be unique, memorable, appropriate, and make an impact.

Design the Planet specializes in creating unique and effective logo identities for our clients. Our award winning designs have helped clients re-energize their business, sales, and marketing efforts. We understand that some businesses have come to be identified with their outdated logo and are concerned about updating it. However, major Brands often change or update the look-and-feel of their logos every few years to keep pace with changing styles and technologies. We will work closely with your management team to determine an appropriate solution that contains the essential elements of your old design while updating your identity with a modernized look and feel.

Design the Planet's print and media experts will make sure your identity and materials stay true to design. After all, your logo creation is as important to us as it is to you because we want to be your partner in creating the company’s portrait. Call us for the specifics on our unique methodology and processes.

Packaging Design

When considering package design and production, there are several variables you should factor into your decision. You must consider design look-and-feel to capture the attention of your product's desired prospective consumer base. You must consider packaging materials and their costs. You should consider the message content applied to the product packaging, and who has the expertise to produce the materials effectively. Or, you can let the Design the Planet team design and manage the process so you can focus on what you do best.

Our design team has experience working within a variety of industries helping companies design and produce customer focused product packaging that grabs attention and compells target markets to buy. Contact us to find out how we can help you wrap your precious commodities in remarkable materials.
