"the computer can't tell you the emotional story. it can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows." — frank zappa

about

veryindependent studios was founded to give clients a quality alternative to large, expensive, and often (how do we say this gently) impersonal advertising agencies and design firms. we have a personal approach to problem solving with close attention to detail that gives our clients customized solutions based their individual needs – not a cookie-cutter web site, predictable design or, heaven forbid, a grand outlet for our (fairly large) egos.

our foundation is one of traditional fine arts that just happens to incorporate cutting-edge technology. but, our art and our technology isn’t the whole story. we believe that honest, efficient business practices, and custom, personalized solutions to your need is the shortest distance between where you are and where you’d like to be. after all, our clients contract with us to help them, not us.
we have many years of experience in every aspect of advertising and yet we are not the stereotypical advertising agency. that has more to do with how we relate to you and your product than how we do lunch. we have the skills, the tools, and the industry knowledge to give you the quality design solution you need.

we joke around and we have a lot of fun. you’ll see pictures of toys, dumb videos and silly comments on our website. we’re not terribly serious folks. one thing that we do take deadly serious, though – our work and our clients. you might catch us playing a rousing bout of halo3 at odd hours, but you’re also going to see us putting a lot of thought and effort into what we send out the door and into the public – and that’s something we never joke about.

whether it’s a web site, promotional items, hand-rendered fine art, or a turn-key graphic solution, independent studios has the ability and the contacts to make it happen for you – and the talent to make it the very best. plus -we have the humor to have a lot of fun doing it.

    Wim Crouwel Originally uploaded by Alki1 Stumbled upon this gal’s photostream. From what I can gather, she’s a retired graphics and photography teacher somewhere in the Northwest US.
