Welcome to

Creative design at the professional level is usually a privilege enjoyed only by deep-pocketed corporations with big budgets. But things change fast. The web has opened up new avenues of design and creativity that are affordable and accessible to those smart enough to seek them out. The entrepreneurs, small business owners and corporations who work to realize the true capacity of their enterprises—and who understand the potency of an effective design strategy—will profit most from my creative services.

The mission

The purpose of different ideas aren't just for the sake of being different-but for sake of inspiration in search of an effective creative solution. I do these things with a simplistic, yet copious mission to converge on "the" original idea that delivers great reward in the end. And, in the end, the reward is the achievment of success. The original idea lives on and defines the mission of Alderson Graphics.

Make your brand sizzle

The impact of a well-conceived brand cannot be overstated. A strong identity has a profound effect on your audience and on the perception of your business. The principle that underlies visual design is that a bold idea cannot be ignored; it compels us to focus on it and to internalize its meaning. I visualize and create eye-catching logos, effective branding strategies and striking designs for print and digital mediums that elevate the quality of your image.

Sell the sizzle

Good ad copy is a call to attention. Great ad copy is a call to action. Well chosen words will engage your audience with a clear, compelling, enduring message that effectively communicates your ideas. Energize your website, marketing campaign, ad, promotional item, or product launch with copy that evokes purpose and vision. I have resources for copy writing and editing that will enhance your brand message.

Print Design

Alderson Graphics offers many different print design services. Here are just a few:

Brand Development

Giving a business a brand brings it to life. It makes it real and easily identifiable to the public and communicates the company’s principles, goals, and strengths. This process often starts with a logo but stretches well beyond to colors, fonts, messaging, and underlying psychology that are setup as absolute guidelines for everything the company has developed from television commercials to ink pens.

POP merchandising

Alderson Graphics takes a strategic, consultative approach and applies shopper and retailer insights to create value-added solutions that can be affordably executed. We translate the insights of the consumer, shopper and retailer to proactively deliver successful solutions.

Custom Illustration

My illustration services encompass a wide sector of applications. From original vector art and cartoons to photo realistic renders, Alderson Graphics can produce the right style for the right audience.

Signs & Standups

Signs come in many shapes, sizes and types of materials. No matter what you need to draw attention to your business or event, we can find a sign that works for you.

Shirts

Is there a company event or program that you want to promote on a shirt? Or maybe you need embroidered polos for your company golf tournament. Either way, Alderson Graphics can get the appropriate attire for your company logo.

about

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Tommy Alderson—owner, designer, art director and graphic guru extraordinare at Alderson Graphics. Since 1994, I have been working with pre-press agencies, ad agencies and publishing companies. After cutting my teeth in design illustrating for a local newspaper in my home town, I started freelancing while going to school to persue my dream of working in the wonderful world of graphic design. Since then, I've had the priveledge of producing materials for some of the highest profile brands in the world such as Verizon Wireless, Apple, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and many more. While most of my experience is in print design, I've expanded my talents into web development in recent years.

Alderson Graphics is my freelance gig aside from working as an Art Director at a design/custom publishing agency full time. Many of the design principles and strategies that I've learned by working at agencies carry over to Alderson Graphics. The quality of the work is equivalent to any big agency's work, but at a fraction of the cost. The mindset that I've maintained over the years is to remain humble and to never settle for average work. That is the heart and soul of Alderson Graphics. I'm not just building effective branding for companies; I'm also building a long-term relationship to understand your business and your audience. No job is considered too big or too small. While my main focus is on everything print, I also have several resources available for web development, copy writing, and video editing.

The Process

Communication is a key component to delivering the most effective designs. In order to deliver materials that go above and beyond expectations, it is crucial to have a clear picture of what a company's goal is. The first conversation will be about your audience/market, what they want from you, and what you want from them. Period. Everything else is secondary. Once we have formed a clear plan, then the fun begins. A rough concept is developed, and we will work from there to get a final, polished design.

The Guarantee

I realize the value of a solid reputation when it comes to business. That's why I guarantee all of my work to be only the highest quality. If for any reason you are not satisfied with my work, you will not be charged a dime. A great design means nothing if the designer has a poor grasp of the subject and its relevance to your business.
