About Q Creative

Where were you (and what were you doing) back in 1992? I was a very young designer - and after living In Okinawa Japan for some years, and then attending school in Ohio, I started up my small, graphic design business in Pasadena California. I had just recently returned to Chicago when I was contracted by Alberto Culver as a freelance art director to head up the TCB Bone Straight Hair Awards - and was pretty much responsible for everything - from conception to completion. We pulled it off with flying colors!

Not much later, I went on to become the creative director for SalonSENSE Magazine, where I helped to establish the brand and create the standard for the first fourteen issues of the publication. SalonSENSE went on to became the number one health, hair & beauty trade journal in the country - and while that was a little while ago, not much has changed about us - except for a great deal of new technology.

We believe that how your message looks Is just as important as what it has to say... maybe even more-so. Be it printed promotional materials, an interactive multimedia presentation or a commercial for broadcast television or web, the effectiveness of your material will either lend itself to (or subtract from), your objective - as well as - how your message is perceived. Let's face it, today with the advent of Social Media, it is easier to direct potential customers to your online facility - but converting those visitors into customers is a whole other challenge.

Q Creative Services has spent years perfecting the art of digital, visual communications - and wrapping all of that business and marketing savvy into one creative, artistic, extremely effective package.

Our greatest attributes have always been in our ability to accurately interpret what our clients need, and in being able to surround ourselves with a plethora of talented, highly qualified people to help us provide it. So, be it Graphic Designers, Creative Directors, Photographers, Social Media Specialists or Musicians - at the end of the day, we're all artists, doing what we do - and because we love what we do - we're very good at it.

A Designer's Style

Unlike popular fashion designers, most graphic designers will only have their portfolios to represent their experience and individual design styles. Even the most noted creative artists are known and recognized by their styles. A Designer's style is his or her signature

We want to explore. We’re curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore … We believe in what we’re doing. Now it’s time to go.
— Eileen Collins, STS-114 commander, a few days before the re-launch of the Space Shuttle program, reported on Space.com, 11 July 2005.

Of all investments into the future, the conquest of space demands the greatest efforts and the longest-term commitment . . . but it also offers the greatest reward: none less than a universe.

— Daniel Christlein

As we got further and further away, it (the Earth) dimished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man.

— James B. Irwin, Apollo 15.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
