Have a project? We’re ready!
We do it all — we’re adept at designing for white spaces and transforming physical spaces.
Whatever it is that you require to brand and market your business can be designed
to your specifications and needs.
LOGOS + ICONS
Your logo is the face of your business—it needs to make a first impression, grab your customer and connect with them. We can deliver a logo that will compliment and accentuate the vision of your company, event or product. Whether you are a startup looking to break into the marketplace or a known business interested in a refresh, we would love to talk to you about creating or refreshing your identity.
BRANDING
Branding is the idea or image that embodies your company. Your brand is who you are, what you represent and what you promise to your customer, so getting it right really matters. Our design team can create all of the elements necessary to build a strong overall brand identity: logos, website, domain name, signage, packaging, advertising and even physical spaces.
ENVIRONMENTAL SPACES
Whether we notice it or not the environments we’re in are forming impressions that impact us in different ways. Environmental Graphic Design encompasses elements of interior design, architecture, engagement and emotion to convey ideas and identity. Wall murals, backlit displays, art and memorabilia collections, signage, furniture and lighting all connect people to the place they’re in and communicate culture.
DIMENSIONAL SIGNAGE
Consider how dimensional signage can make an impact for your company. We can design a professional look for your business interior or exterior transforming your logo into a wide variety of materials. We work with the best signage fabricators in Cleveland to ensure your project is done on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality to make it last.
WEBSITE DESIGN + DEVELOPMENT
Your website is the front door to your business online and it is the most essential tool businesses have to connect with customers. A good website gets people to the information they need quickly. A poorly designed website can frustrate the user and turn them away. We can assist you in strategic development of your site to make sure it is mobile optimized and that it performs well to keep your clients and customers coming back.
VEHICLE GRAPHICS
Extend your brand to a single vehicle or a fleet of vehicles using a creatively designed vehicle wrap. These mobile billboards are effective and affordable. A clever design can convey your brand’s personality, distinguish your company from the competition and increase brand familiarity. Contempo has the expertise and creativity to help with a design for any size or type of vehicle.
CUSTOM PUBLISHING
We’ve been helping clients design and publish annual reports, custom yearbooks and magazines for more than 20 years. Contempo Communications even published our own magazine for 10 years. Cleveland Business Connects covered business trends specific to Cleveland’s corporate events and networking scene with a special emphasis on female entrepreneurs. We enjoy helping our clients develop “owned media” that they can use to talk directly to their customers and stakeholders.
DIGITAL CREATIVE
Businesses are increasing their ad expenditures in the digital space. Like traditional advertising, well-designed creative makes all the difference. We have expertise to design effective online ads, e-mail marketing and graphics for social media platforms. Get more clicks and conversions with eye-catching imagery, infographics and the right messaging.
MARKETING MATERIALS
We have more than 20 years of experience producing collateral for our clients. Brochures, flyers, rack cards, folders, newsletters and stationery are all things businesses use to communicate products and services. We also design packaging and point of purchase signage that will give your product a competitive edge in a crowded retail environment.
A roadmap to good design decisions
Our clients are in the driver’s seat but we’re here to provide a roadmap to good design decisions that have distinction and longevity, saving you time and money. While every project is unique to each client we employ a consistent, disciplined approach to develop the final product as quickly as possible.
We ask a lot of questions. We’ll identify the challenge or issues of concern and get clear on the expected outcomes.
We do our research. We take a close look at the marketplace and gather data, images, photographs and other sources of inspiration. We will also do a competitive analysis.
We meet with our team and brainstorm every angle and option. We conceptualize and sketch out a number of solutions that fit the stated criteria and goals.
We bring solutions to you for feedback and talk about them. We’ll discuss options and make changes if required.
We complete work on the final design and ensure you have everything you need to put the design into use across a variety of platforms, formats and products.
