semaphore is more than pretty pictures...

we clearly communicate our clients’
marketing, sales and informational
messages directly to consumers.

we just happen to make it look
really good in the process.

our work is about the call to action,
and delivering it in a clean, clear,
viewer-rewarding manner.

our mission hasn’t changed in 2o
years-- we make money for our clients
first, and then we reap the benefits.

can we be of service to you?

okay, so we all need a little diversion
from time to time.

or a lot of diversions most of the time.

aside from the mindless tedium of hours
of computer solataire (yes you have) we
bring you what we like to surf when the
times permit.

we also present here, a resource center
of extremely useful sites for assisting
your business.

feel free to click through this section,
and stop back often as someone
somewhere sends us another delectable
destraction to wile away the day.

we remember all the tools of
our roots in print design.

and we appreciate the tactile
pleasures of holding a great brochure,
poster, book or magazine.

so, minus the old school tools
(no ruby lith or proportion wheels
si vous plais) we continue to deliver
truly delicious printed pieces and ads.

and our clients’ customers love them,
which tends to have a positive effect on
sales -- and cashflow.

if you love the printed word, or simply
need something compelling to put in the
hands of your customers, view this
section and contact us.

• brand & identity -- who are you?
  
  
• first things first -- the process
  
  
• cash flow & planning -- what to expect

 

the creative process is often shrouded in
mystery by those marketing gurus who
would have you believe that no mere mortal
can conjure marketplace success.

we're okay with that, but it is not how
we choose to do business. with backgrounds
in corporate warfare, we use tools like
critical paths, accountability pricing,
progress billing and (yes it's true) budgets.

the process usually follows this grid:
initial meeting & review
budget/timeline proposal
approvals/adjustments/1st payment
market research/client interviews
strategic proposal/presentation
production planning/creative development
creative presentation/2nd payment
media review & planning
final production & refinement
beta testing/proofing
printing/coding/editing
implementation/3rd payment
unveiling/publicity
tracking & review
