It encapsulates your brand’s voice, tone, and visual language to ensure consistency, clarity, and cohesiveness throughout all design stages.

Chris Szadkowski Brand Identity Examples

First impressions are everything. In support of or independently of a Brand Strategy and Brand Guide, I’ll develop your brand’s logo, find the right fonts, and develop a suite of ownable elements that make your brand stand out.

Let’s box up your brand’s goods with some incredible brand packaging. I’ll work with your existing brand guidelines and assets or develop the brand identity and design assets, like product photography and messaging necessary for the packaging. I’ll create three concepts and take one into complete print-ready design in two rounds of reviews. If you need design support during printing, I’ll help you.

Check out my Anolon work for an example.

Your brand’s website is where your consumers can truly connect with your brand. You have your identity and messaging in place, so now it’s time to take an innovative approach to UX and UI design by identifying the problem your website is trying to solve. For instance, what is preventing your website and brand from reaching their full potential? I will then design the best solution for your brand. The end result will provide an optimized user journey—along with some beautiful design.

Food and Product Photography

I will capture stills from your shoot, direct creative shoots, conduct stand-alone photoshoots, retouch images, pull frames from your video, and capture behind-the-scenes content during a shoot.

I specialize in creating engaging digital advertising video campaigns. I have the capability to produce high-quality videos that will enhance your brand’s image. I can handle everything from content development and scriptwriting to directing and shooting. After capturing all the necessary footage, I can carry out the editing, color correction, and final content mixing, and then export it to your preferred platform. Whether you need content for digital and social media or videos ready for broadcasting, I can assist you in effectively communicating your brand story.

Check out my Jameson Catchmates or Wild Earth projects for examples of past projects.

Not all brand issues need a complex technical website solution. I can use Webflow, Squarespace, or a simple WordPress template to create a dynamic website that solves your problem without relying on custom code. I can also assist you in creating the content for your website.

See some of the NOR work for an example.

I can develop the front-end and back-end of your site on various platforms. I’m a wizard with over 20 years of experience, and just as fluent in developing with WordPress or Squarespace. I’ll build everything you need to get your brand’s responsive website launched and rendered on any screen size.
