What is AMERICAN DESIGN?

We have a proven track record of creating successful brand strategies through visual communication. Our unique research process allows us to determine a successful and effective visual marketing strategy.
 
We build stronger brands because we understand that:

I. No two products are exactly identical. Therefore no two approaches to marketing can be identical.

II. Products don’t exist in a vacuum. The ability to instantly communicate the value of your product with the world is the prime and first objective of any visual marketing.

III. Creativity is NOT guessing. We start the creative process AFTER a thorough analysis of both: the product and market as well as the social environment/target group.

We come on board at all stages of a business venture:

...in the very beginning
Many times we are hired before an idea even has a brand name. We then help build the business from the ground up and use our unique testing process on positioning the product optimally in the market.

...when you're in need of a “Marketing Makeover”
Often we get the call when a project is stuck with it’s current messaging. There are not enough clients, the business is not performing at peak levels and it has been determined that the business needs a Marketing Makeover.

...anytime "viusal assets" are needed (print and web design)
In between projects we are available to design ads for small businesses as well as larger corporations and product launches, usually when they have reached capacity on their internal production capabilities.

While designing for web and print are our core business we believe that the technical execution of design for print and web are rather commonplace (who doesn’t know someone who can quickly create a cheap website?) At least the technical need of having the right equipment is no longer a factor since everybody has computers capable of designing great designs. We believe it still takes the skilled eye of a professional and –more importantly – the vision of a marketer to create an image that instantly communicates a products’ functionality, inherent advantage or lifestyle value.

...our clients hire us for our ability to instantly communicate their message visually and answer the Two Questions(TM) your client asks him or herself when they go to your site or see your product or advertising for the first time:

1. What is this?
2. Is this for me?

Answering these questions visually within the first 3 to 10 seconds is our trademarked approach to visual marketing. We would love to help you answer these questions for your customers with our designs and tell you more about our approach to branding.

"When I first started BeautyIntuition.com nearly four years ago, I was already familiar with Chris’ work from another business I was involved in. Chris has since then helped me build BeautyIntuition.com and DecadentBeauty.com into national businesses, selling exclusive beauty and health products found at LA's hottest celebrity spas and boutiques.

He has been an invaluable asset in the process of building my web businesses from a visual standpoint. More importantly, he significantly shaped the site architecture to optimize the shopping experience, relentlessly making improvements with dedication and attention to detail. I have recommended Chris to several friends and colleagues over the years and all of them have had excellent results."

"Chris has worked on my web sites, album covers and album covers of many artists I have produced. I consider him to be a platinum standard in design. He makes my artists and my business stand out with his professional approach and vast experience, not only as a designer but a marketer with a strong background in brand development.

I have seen him in the role of an art director, creative director, designer and copywriter. He continues to exceed my expectations and has made himself an integral part of my core team. I look forward to many more successful projects."

"Before I met Chris, I had already wasted thousands of dollars (and much time) on other web designers who just didn’t “get” it. After our first converstation, I instantly knew Chris was on the pulse of my brand. Now almost two years later, my website still works for me. Chris did an amazing job. I highly recommend his services."
