Our capabilities span print, web and multimedia design. We’ve handled everything from multi-platform branding campaigns to simple print brochures, brand guidelines, animation and complex financial software.
A well defined process does assist in all aspects of a project. Following these steps we can gather all of the information that is required to identify the problem, and plan solutions. At Counterspace we follow a process, like all design companies and agencies, but we follow it. We don’t let it lead us.
Design companies and ad agencies will have you believe that you put your problem in one end of their “process” machine, and at the end of it you get a design solution that is perfect.
It is after all, a process that has been refined over years of experience
The truth is that design is something that isn’t tangeable. Not quantifiable. It is an art form. An art form that has had quasi science applied to it, in an attempt to easily package it for sale.
We build integrated designs that fit your brand, your assets and your goals. When you work with Counterspace, we immerse ourselves in your world, striving to understand your company and the messages you want to communicate.
We work collaboratively at all times, and tailor our solutions to your exact needs and specifications. Using classic principles and typography, we create designs that are timeless.
Depending upon a number of parameters the solution for any given problem will need to be different. And over time the same set of parameters will create a different solution. It is recognizing the right solution for the right set of parameters for the right target audience at the right time.
We understand how people interact with technology and visual content, and we craft designs that engage them. Under the guidance of our founder, Brett Collins—an internationally recognized designer and typographer—and a network of experts in branding, marketing, development, copywriting and other disciplines, we deliver a full suite of creative services.
We’ve worked in industries as diverse as fashion, finance, entertainment, education, philanthropy and publishing. We’ve designed an interactive money management system for Merrill Lynch. Created a wide-ranging children’s website for the HarperCollins Children’s division. Helped an eco-friendly California start-up launch its brand and its website.
But it’s not just our creativity and our client list that set us apart. We also work hard to keep up with the latest technological advances so we can deliver the most innovative solutions to everyone we work with.
