Symbiotic Design™ studio
We have the expertise and a sincere desire to help. We are a small new media studio with a large freelance artist, designer and developer talent pool. Our specialties are wide and varied, but focused and professional with a great eye for detail. We are most noted for our expertise in complete identity and professional image solutions. Our knowledge in this field has come from years of experience in all new media as graphic designers, web site designers, web application developers, videographers and multimedia producers. If it's digital, we've mastered it. If it's print, we understand it. And yet we learn constantly and share amongst our large talent force openly.
We offer a wide variety of studio services and productions including creative design layout, graphic arts, illustration, animation, complete broadcast quality commercial video productions, interactive program development and complete web site design and/or hosting packages.We are professionals with the right tools to provide you with your design ideas or original creative conceptions as finished works on the world wide web, videotape, ZIP, ORB, VideoCD, CD-ROM, DVD or virtually any other other modern media.
We offer a wide variety of creative new media studio services:
Just ask. We don't just provide clip art and web art for downloading, we are true artists, may with fine arts backgrounds (drawing, oil painting, murals, sculpture, etc.). We would be happy to listen to any art project offer or commission proposal and give you our ideas, even provide bids for such works. We also provide artists with specialized services (contact us for information on our artist's services).
Animation isn't simply a marketing tool for advertisements and banner recognition, it provides valuable content to web sites when used approprately. We not only love this form of expression, but we protect it as well. We are experts in GIF and Flash animation. Some of our freelancers are also professional freelance 3D animators with experience in Alias Wavefront Maya, NewTek Lightwave, 3D Studio Max, and other professional 3D industry tools.
Our studios can design and develop a complete digital software experience or compilation for your needs. We provide complete design development and mastery for your CD-ROM, CD+ROM, VideoCD (VCD), DVD or HDTVCD™ productions. We encourage growing and succesful companies to take advantage of this media which provides excellent distribution of safety guidelines, company policies, training manuals, photographic slideshows, presentations, interactive multimedia promotion, document archival, case history and offers many other solutions.
We strive to be great game designers and developers. Through the course of our work, we have been developing our own interactive game on the side in our spare time. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be enough spare time on hand to accomplish a complete and full featured game such as never seen before. While this is a quality project unlike any in existance, it is also a private endevour and will remain top secret until such a time as we are ready to offer a release date. We have no interest in corporate control over our project (it is our experience that most game companies have forgotten what the gaming experience truly is in favor of multimillion numbers with dollar signs), as we will not let our art become corrupted. However, this is not a matter of our ability to communicate and work with others, it is a matter of protecting our artistic license, creative control and intellectual properties. A game or other interactive program or presentation which is done on commission is totally controlled by it's financier, and all related work work done on it, including concept, art, animation and programming remains the property of it's investor. We would certainly work well with your company in producing a high quality game or interactive application for training or promotional solutions.
Graphic design is a very broad area, and we cover it all, excepting extremely specialized work such as check or holographic printing. The word "Design" isn't just in our name, it's how we approach every challenge, by engineering in solutions through design. We understand and conform to well accepted layout and interface practices to make dynamic interactive finished platforms. Whether you intend to generate leading edge web content, visually stimulating commercial video, or hard copy print materials, our design team has the talent to deliver the professional production or publication for you which you expect.
Douglas Peters' illustrations have shown in several Augustana College art shows. Illustrative works have been commissioned for book and catalog covers. His illustrations have been stolen to be used for corporate logos. He was previously on the Augustana Mirror staff as the paper's cartoonist. He hopes to one day illustrate an children's book. Doug Peters runs Symbiotic Design™ as it's Creative Director and lead artist, please give us a call or send us an email outlining the challenge.
We have provided training and counceling for the private community as well as with business, the University of Sioux Falls and Augustana College for digital art, videography, networking, computer and software usage, as well as software and hardware reguirements.
Symbiotic Design™ can provide complete solutions for interactive presentation development targeted at employee training, consumer education, image promotion, or entertainment.
All but the patent search. There are complex issues in creating logos. We are your identity and professional image architects. Symbiotic Design™ offers two solutions. Our complete business solution offers complete unique logo packages which are guaranteed patentable. Additionally, we stand behind the logo we make for you for 10 years after we deliver you the complete package. Your business logo packages come in encapsulated postscript, Photoshop, TIFF, Pict, BMP, PNG, GIF and any requested formats suitable for a variety of applications. We provide ready made templates for business stationary, business cards, envelope printing, web site use, commercial video production and print advertising. Special variants of the logo design are also included, the main logo, a web logo, a banner, an animation, an icon, and a web site favorites icon (ficon). Our other solution is geared for small businesses, home based businesses and startups on a budget, the web logo. The web logo package does not offer the same guarantees and protection as the complete business logo solution, but allows budget minded organizations to grab an original logo for use on the web for $100.00. This generates a professional and positive image for your online presence while your custom logo is being developed, or until your operation grows.
We are pleased to offer our multimedia project design and development services to the public. Expect the great care, attention to detail and courteous interaction which you have received from us in the past on multimedia web site projects. Animation, audio, music, video and software design are all available options for incorporation.
We offer professional commercial photography services and can even provide models for shoots.
Although print is not considered a new media, we offer our prepress print services to provide modern advertising campaigns which are targetted to the chosen demographic sector. While our prepress layout is second to none, it is extrememly effective when combined with our new media advertising or our professional online presence packages.
Our design studio not only offers typesetting, but complete custom font services. This service also includes the re-creation of historic and hand lettered type faces.
We offer expert professional photographic and artwork scanning services as a supplement to our photographic and artist's services.
We can archive your photographic images into a slide show to play on any CD-ROM enabled computer (on any platform) or any modern DVD player. Slideshows can offer audio narration or music accompaniment and can be used for training, event record, historic preservation, or photographic archival. Additionally, we will add the professional touch (titling, effects, etc..) to each project that you would expect to see from a creative company. If you have a special project in mind, give it that special touch.
Commercial, short or feature script writing, editing and video production. Special videographic services for accurate color reproduction, special effects and titling available. NTSC, SDTV and HDTV solutions available. (Note: HDTV video shoot production services no longer available until further notice, HDTV post-production videography and non-linear video editing are still available. Read more.)
Everyone online should have their own web site. We can design a professional online pressence for you or your business. We offer a crack team of freelance talent that will work with you and ask the hard questions necessary to design and develop an award winning web site. There is plenty of free web space available on the internet for the general public and even businesses, but it does not offer the professional features of a true presence hosting plan. Usually the free web space is littered with banner advertising, solely applied to turn traffic away from your site and worse, interfering with the design and message of your web site since you have no control over what is displayed. Symbiotic Design™ not only designs professional online presence and ecommerce sites, it engineers in site promotion through search engine optimization while maintaining brand reinforcement and positive image reinforcement. Easy navigation heigthens visitor experience and useability with compelling graphic design and rich content layout. It's never been easier to market your services and products with a Symbiotic Design™ custom tailored web site targetted for your targetted demographic customer base.
Symbiotic Design™ also offers many technical services in support of it's ceative services.We have been serving the business, professional and general public communities since 1997. Our studio office and headquaters:
