FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about Frank's Designs Empowered Marketing™

What kind of work do I do?
I love to create so if it includes creating we are off to a good start. Things that come to mind: Advertisements, Branding such as Logos, Letterhead, Images for your website, Business cards, Brochures, Rack Cards, Banners & Trade Show Displays. Oh yeah, Book Covers, Booklets, Audio CD Cover Art... The list goes on. Got an idea? Tell me about it. I love a challenging project.

My policy is to always create images as vector art (vector graphics) if at all possible so that if a client (even a web design client) wants to do something in print (especially on a large scale) the artwork will be ready to go.

Raster vs. Vector Illustration

Raster Image 100% Size	Vector Image 100% Size
Raster Image 250% Enlargement is pixelated and blurry because of the attempt to smooth out jagged edges which are all pixels	Vector image 250% enlargement . Vector graphics can be enlarged without losing quality because vector art is based on mathematically defined lines and curves.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

How to Reach Frank: 941.374.7711 / FranksDesigns@gmail.com

I officially started Frank's Designs in 1997 when I realized that I had been doing graphic design work for my employer and friends for several years. When I looked into what it meant to be a graphic designer I suddenly realized that I had a lot to learn. After 11 years of doing graphic design I decided to follow my passion and work full time as a freelance graphic designer in 2008 when my wife Anna and I moved to Sarasota, Florida.

I primarily use Adobe Illustrator and InDesign and of course, Photoshop. My favorite? Illustrator by far. It is incredibly powerful. Vector graphics (if done right) are wonderful because you can scale them. My clients appreciate the way I approach my work in an organized manner because it saves me time and them money

Why you should hire me for your marketing needs?
Lots of reasons: I take pride in my work, my rates are reasonable and competitive, and I'm responsible and extremely responsive. There is no charge for consultations and I'm happy to share my ideas with you. I believe in communication which prevents any surprises, financial or otherwise. Most importantly: I am able to step back to let your ideas come through in my work.

My motto:
Empowered Marketing™: Shine! No matter what the forecast is!
Design for marketing is not just "pretty", it is functional and works! Learn how to Empower Your Marketing here.

Choosing a graphic designer is a personal decision so what others have said: testimonials. Most importantly stay positive. It will help your business and change your life.

I would love to hear from you, Frank
