Hi, my name is Gordon Latimer...
Sometimes it is nice to deal with the creative that will be involved in your project, not the project manager's account manager's assistant. Apart from design I also bring input and ideas to content, production and delivery which saves money and adds to the success of any project.

Skills
"You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills." Napoleon Dynamite
Some skills are better than others, at least as a designer. Fifteen years experience brings a measured approach that helps my clients define their requirements and get more out than they would otherwise.
I find that traditional design experience in print provides me with a deeper skill set for digital design, particularly UI (user interface) design.
But the opposite is also true. The new trends and ideas in digital design are playing a much larger role in contemporary print design. Bringing these together makes for richer, more integrated design.

Digital
User Interface (UI) Design is rapidly requiring more skills than just code and photoshop know-how. A solid traditional design experience brings a wealth of possibilities to web, tablet, mobile and even smart TV's.
Branding
From the small startup logos to corporate rebrands. Creative, conceptual and clever to strategic and functional. Logos, business cards, letterheads, style guides and more. You name it. We brand it. Simple.
Print
Annual reports, brochures, flyers, posters and more. I can advise on cost-effective quality printing and production that can save more than you expect and produce quality that feels good in your hand. I love the smell of ink in the morning.
