Karen Gaudet Graphic Design is a design studio based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, that specializes in the design of print materials. We provide the creative solutions that meet your business needs. Whether you're a large corporation, or small and developing business, we tackle each of our design projects with the same amount of energy, commitment, and expertise.
From designing Logo's and Corporate Branding, to Trade Show and Event Materials, we can supply you with the design services that you need quickly and professionally. The 'Design Services' list to the the right provides you with a detailed accounting of the services we provide. Each category contains a selected piece of work. Following the list of services you'll find a detailed list of our clients and a preview of some of the work done for that client as well. This will allow you to get a feel for our design style so that you can determine if we're the ones you'd like to complete your design project.
Our graphic designers work closely with you to create the artwork that visually represents who you are and what you have in mind. We want our working relationship with you to be long, and mutually rewarding.
Our Logo designs can be created using Vector Graphics, that scale well to accommodate any application from placement on a business card to placement on the side of a shipping vessel. Vector Graphics ensure the image stays crisp and clear in large scale production.
Design is a process. Here's an idea of the what to expect once we begin your project:
In the first stage of design, you will describe what you need designed, and what it entails. This will include discussion about problems and issues that we may encounter, initial ideas, concerns and limitations.
The second stage of the design process is research. We will endeavor to research your project in order to know the product/service/company we're representing and the materials required for successful design completion.
The third stage of the design process is brainstorming. In this stage we'll start to explore any and all ideas that could possibly result in the end design.
The forth stage of the design process is to start to eliminate some of the ideas that came from brainstorming and start to zero in on the better ideas. At this point we will supply you with some rough drafts of these ideas. Sometimes these design drafts are still is sketch form, or sometimes they're computer generated renderings.
Once you've reviewed the rough drafts, a discussion about the likes and dislikes of the roughs will enable us to either start to develop one specific idea, or to head in another direction with more precise knowledge.
In the fifth stage a second round of 'further developed' designs will be supplied to you. These drafts will again be discussed to further develop the concepts and to eliminate what doesn't work.
In the final stage, the successful design concept will be developed to completion.
We're committed to doing our part in considering the environment in all facets of our work. We're learning as we go and doing everything we possibly can.
We specialize in the design of print materials, so ink and paper have become an important issue to us. If you want to ensure that your project takes the environment into consideration, ensure that the products and printing services you use display the FSC Logo. The FSC Logo ensures you that the product is FSC Certified.
What does FSC Certified mean? Who is the FSC and what are their responsibilities?FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council of Canada. The Forest Stewardship Council of Canada provides an international certification and labeling system that guarantees that the forest products and services you purchase come from responsibly managed forests and verified recycled sources.
We can supply you with the names of printing service bureaus complying with FSC standards in the HRM. If you're a printing service bureau that complies with FSC standards, please let us know so that we can add you to our resources list.
