We plan, analyze, and create visual solutions to communications problems. We find the most effective way to get messages across in print and electronic media using color, type, illustration, photography, animation, and various print and layout techniques.  We’ll develop the overall layout and production design of magazines, newspapers, journals, corporate reports, and other publications. We’ll also produce promotional displays, packaging, and marketing brochures for products and services, design distinctive logos for products and businesses, and develop signs and signage systems—called environmental graphics—for business and government. The first step in developing a new design is to determine the needs of the client, the message the design should portray, and its appeal to customers or users. Ribley Interactive Limited considers cognitive, cultural, physical, and social factors in planning and executing designs for the target audience. We gather relevant information by meeting with clients, creative or art directors, and by performing our own research. Identifying the needs of consumers is becoming increasingly important as we continue to develop corporate communication strategies in addition to creating designs and layouts. We’ll prepare sketches or layouts—by hand or with the aid of a computer—to illustrate our vision for the design, select colors, sound, artwork, photography, animation, style of type, and other visual elements for the design.
