APPROACH

I clearly convey client messages with interesting, memorable designs. I have been involved in every facet of brand building from sculpting the initial visual language and identity documents to pushing the resulting messages out into the mainstream via all the various channels. I harvest information from the client and then refine with clarity and sizzle to deliver spectacles with lasting impact. I have the endurance, agility, and leather skin to stay on task under pressure, plus a wry sense of humor helps me maintain a camaraderie and flow with the client. I capably lead teams to the end zone but am also happy to push through solo too.

I have many ideas on the way things should be and will offer another perspective if desired, but my main concern beyond the project is to ensure that the project owner, my client, is satisfied with the process and excited about the final results. I strive to create designs that boost client confidence in themselves.

Whether presentation, web, interactive media, or print, any project will find benefit with my eye and seasoned skillset on the job. I do this side by side or translate your chicken scratch into final deliverables. Either way, we will materialize a swish at the buzzer.

Q?

If I tell you I need it at a certain time, how will you handle my deadlines?

A.

The first recorded use of the word deadline was: “Seventeen feet from the inner stockade was the ‘dead-line’, over which no man could pass and live.” History of the Civil War (1868)
Once I accept the job, that is how I treat deadlines.

Q?

If I asked you to design something, what software would you use?

A.

I create all my graphics in vector format in Illustrator. I image retouch and manipulate in Photoshop. Multipage documents are compiled in inDesign. Presentations are done in Powerpoint, Keynote and Prezi. Animations and renderings are built in 3DSMAX and After Effects. Video editing happens in Vegas and Premiere. Client chooses Mac or PC.

Q?

What type design projects do you take?

A.

I specialize in theatrical event and pursuit design because they allow me to design for quick turns and for the most formats, from big screen to print to app… but I consider all types of design jobs.

Q?

What types of presentations do you build?

A.

I have created hundreds of powerpoints that ended up winning billions of dollars of jobs for my clients.  I have created looks for the largest stages in front of tens of thousands. I can handle your Prezi, After Effects and 3DsMax jobs and edit your videos too. I have designed and built websites and intranets.

Q?

What types of interfaces do you design?

A.

I have built skins and templates for public apps, event apps, websites, intranets, kiosks, emails and games.

Q?

What is your favorite project type to work on?

A.

I like to make lesser things look better. I like to chase wins. I like to wow audiences big and small. I like to be the “go-to” guy with a design eye.

Q?

If my project is going off the rails, what do I do?

A.

Call me, if I am 45 minutes away, I will be there in 10 … because I am Winston Wolf.
