About Us

_________________________________________________________________________________

CALL US OLD FASHIONED.

Karen Gaudet Graphic Design is a design studio based out of Halifax that specializes in advertising and communication design. We feel that you do best at what you do the most, so have channelled all of our energies into print collateral design related to promotion. It's that simple. Print design basically encompasses materials that get printed such as posters, brochures, marketing material, book and CD covers, newspaper ads, magazine ads, post cards, flyers, magazine layouts, catalogue pages, the development of logos, corporate identity, branding and more.

We're a small group of big hearted individuals with a flair for creativity and a passion for visual communication. Casual and friendly, we provide the creative solutions that meet your business needs quickly and professionally. Whether you're a large corporation, or a small and developing business, we tackle each of our design projects with the same amount of energy, commitment, and expertise.

Your business doesn't have to be located in Halifax, or even Nova Scotia to use our services. We've successfully completed work not only across Nova Scotia, and Canada, but across three continents and counting. Documents, design concepts, discussions and final artwork can all be exchanged via telephone, email and fax. The internet is a powerful marketing tool, and we're always very excited when we hear from people in other countries.

Vector Graphics

Our Logo designs and graphics can be created using using bezier curves, 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 small and large scale production of literally any size. Photoshop is fine for editing raster images but we prefer to use a vector-based program as much as possible to ensure that your graphics get the best print quality.

More and more manufacturers are requiring vector graphics to produce materials. Whether you're manufacturing a fabric product, a CD cover or a lapel pin, check first with your manufacturer to clarify their print specifications.

We Think In Green

The environment is important to us and we're committed to doing our part in considering it in all facets of our work. We're learning as we go and doing everything we possibly can to make a difference.

We specialize in the design of print materials, so ink and paper have become an important issue to us. It's not about going paperless, which would require and entire world wide paradigm shift, and is not likely to happen in our lifetime, its about using environmentally friendly products to make an environmental difference.

Using FSC certified paper and environmentally friendly inks will make that difference. 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 or are printed by a printing company that has taken measures to reduce environmental hazard. 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.
