Our creative photography services seem to have endless subject matter these days. Our primary photographic focus here at Big Idea is in providing professional imagery to enhance business identity, image and/or product. This includes eye catching images for websites, crisp product pictures for brochures or presentations, action shots of staff and the list goes on. Some of our more recent projects included action shots of a professional walleye angler, and a product photo shoot of a manufacturer's application tool.
Digital printing is everywhere these days, including Big Idea. We provide high resolution, full color printing in both large format and fine-art. In large format we have the ability to print on just about any substrate including wood and of course, miles and miles of banners. Fine art printing can be produced on our photo papers or even on canvas materials. With digital, the sky is the limit.
Vinyl is were it all started for us. Well maybe it was a logo we created first, but vinyl, in general is where the sign & graphic business started for our founder. Back in the early 90's is when our Founder, Davin Brandt, started in the sign business. This was before the big boom of the digital print age when signage and graphics were usually produced via vinyl film. Since those first few days we have tried and tested a great deal of vinyl films only to fall back on a chosen few. Don't be fooled, not all vinyl is created equal.
Simply put, we offer creative consulting to clients looking for a bit more than just a logo or business card design. A great deal of our consulting is provided for small start up businesses looking for identity help. We work with our clients to provide an accurate image of both their business and any products they carry. We also advise on a variety of branding and production marketing solutions. From product design to store front identity, our consulting talents offer diverse creative perspective, a resource sure to help your business succeed.
This service encompasses business cards, envelopes, letterhead, promotional print cards and flyers to name a few. We offer both digital printing and offset depending on your needs. The image to the left represents a unique logo design that was created and transformed to a creative business card, letterhead and envelope.
Though most of our design services center around company logo designs, business cards and websites, we do provide a great deal of odds and ends. We have designed event tickets, equipment control panels, T-shirt designs, program booklets and flyers, concert posters, and even a few detailed fishing maps.
Our logo design service is really our strength. We offer both a quick-logo service and a corporate identity service, tailored to fit the strictest of budgets. Here are just a few of hundreds of the logos within our portfolio.
A great deal of our business evolves around signage and graphics, many of which need to be installed. We encourage our clients to have their signage installed by a professional but we are also more than willing to instruct those do-it-yourselfers on proper installation technique.
We have over 18 years installing a variety of signage and graphics. Some of the more common projects are: vehicle & fleet graphics, window lettering, banners, interior & exterior office signs, traffic signage, and even vehicle wraps. Our installers are professional, courteous, clean cut and knowledgeable in all they do.
"...In fact, Davin was the first partner that we hired as we began the concept development of Let’s Dish!. The combination of his leadership, creativity, superior results, outstanding service, and his ability to truly partner to meet our unique and challenging business needs is the reason that Davin has continued to be a key player in our business from the "idea" to the recent opening of our seventh location."
Darcy Olson
Co-founder
"There are many reasons why Davin has earned my loyalty. He has a positive "can do" attitude and has been a great resource providing creative options for our print projects. In addition, he offers superior customer service. I've never had any doubt that whatever I order from Davin would be done with very high quality and completed by deadline."
