Riverside Graphics, owned by John & Kathleen Carlson,
is located in the Columbia River Gorge near Stevenson, Washington.
With over 25 years of graphic design (and on the Mac since '86), Riverside Graphics has the nuts-and-bolts design experience to get the job done - right.
Riverside Graphics has been serving clients in the Columbia River Gorge, and around the country since January1992. We focus on quality and convenience for our clients.
Having worked full time in the graphic arts field since 1980 (see John's resume), we provide a great deal of experience - experience which will be applied to the successful completion of your project!
Our definition of a successful graphics project is one which conveys an idea or information to the intended audience with clarity; prompting the desired response.
Too often, it seems, a design actually gets in the way of the message, or nifty technology becomes the end - not the means. The computer is a great tool; but it is just a tool. Understanding the principles of a good design is much more important than how much RAM you have...
Just as important as understanding the principles of good design, is understanding the fundamentals of implementing the design in the "real world." A great design that cannot be easily printed does little for the success of a brochure, just as elaborate graphics may take forever to load on a web page.
We believe that the design should never interfere with the message. Tails need not wag dogs...
We look forward to working with you!
