Graphic Designer Insights: An Interview with Angie OConnor

By Marissa Carter · Comments (0)
Tuesday, January 1st, 2013

The Graphic Designer Insights series has been developed with quality in mind.

At JG Imprinters, we believe the best quality comes from great ideas that are turned into excellent graphics and custom printed for the lowest price possible. You keep having the great ideas, and JG Imprinters will keep giving the best quality prints.

To tell us more about the graphic designer side of things, we have Angie OʼConnor, Owner of Writing On the Wall Grafix.

Tell us a bit about your graphic design background: Did you go to school for graphic design and/or marketing? How did you get started in this field?

I went to school for graphic design, a trade school actually. Got exactly the tools and knowledge that I needed to get started. Then gained some practical knowledge at a local magnet manufacturer putting together press sheets for print. After 5+ years working for a small business, I noticed a lack in skills at the small business level. I decided that I could fill that gap by putting that knowledge to work for local clients in Kansas City. Iʼve been looking for ways to help the little guys look like the bigger guys ever since, and that starts with good graphic design.

How to Create a Direct Mail Postcard for Maximum Results

By Marissa Carter · Comments (0)
Thursday, December 27th, 2012

Direct mail is a valuable marketing tool with a very satisfying success rate. Follow the tips below to get maximum results from your direct mail postcard campaign.

Make the Marketing Message Pop with Contrasting Color

Choose colors for your postcard that will make the message easy to read. Black print on a white background is easiest to read, but blue on yellow, red on white and black on yellow are also very effective. Consider using a three color palette: one color for the background, another for the main message and a third color for your business contact information.

Avoid using too much color because that can make the postcard appear too busy.

Keep your target audience, your message and your branding in mind when selecting your colors.

Graphic Designer Insights: An Interview with Buck Sommerkamp

By Marissa Carter · Comments (0)
Tuesday, December 25th, 2012

They say that behind every great man is a great woman. I donʼt know if thatʼs true, but one thing I have learned through working with John Valleau is that behind every great print there is a high quality, professional graphic. JG Imprinters wants the very best for your business and is working hard to deliver the information necessary to help you get the very best prints possible.

Next up in the Graphic Designer Insights series is Buck Sommerkamp, of KCDesignCore.

Tell us a bit about your graphic design background: Did you go to school for graphic design and/or marketing? How did you get started in this field?

I actually studied Communications, Broadcasting and Film when I was in college. Although I took some graphics classes at Central Missouri State University (now the University of Central Missouri), I did a lot of self-learning. It just naturally tied in with my interest in all forms of media. I worked in radio, television, and print during those years. I put together the CMSU Alumni magazine, Alumni Today, back when files were sent via dial-up modem to the university graphics department and output as galleys for pasteup. Those were the days! 🙂
