Graphic Design Returns as an Art Form

June 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Working on the notion that companies are as varied snowflakes in the sky, the innovative company offers specialized services to their clients.  Unlike most graphic design or printing companies who offer out of date templates or complicated DIY design applets, Tampa Bay Graphics employs a full-time, on-site graphics team to ensure that their clients’ printed materials don’t match hundreds—or even thousands—of the competition.  

By utilizing the talents of their design team, Tampa Bay Graphics is creating eye-catching designs—balanced by well-written, concise copy—that relate to their customers’ clientele.

“We value that which makes our clients unique,” Dustin Drudy, owner and head of design, explained.  “We don’t want four or five different clients from various types of businesses walking around with the same business card in their pockets.  We want them each to have a design that represents their company and appeals to their clients.  That’s what graphic design was—it was artistic advertising.”

Tampa Bay Graphics’ has years of experience designing everything from promotional materials like brochures and postcards to national magazine covers and advertising campaigns.  The firm’s varied portfolio and years in the industry have given them a solid understanding of their market.  They know that image is important.

In fact, aesthetics are cited as the single most deciding factor in a consumer’s purchasing process.  It’s simple.  Generic designs can hurt a business that otherwise may have been successful, and quality design can bring attention to a fledgling company trying to carve out its niche in the market.

Since the advent of easily accessible design programs like Photoshop and Quark, graphic design has become an increasingly popular career choice.  It’s refreshing, however, to come across a firm that understands that design is more than the programs from which it’s created.  It’s art for the dynamic world of marketing, and if done well, the images can be priceless.  I’m sure fans of Toulouse-Lautrec’s work would agree.


Tampa Bay Graphics’ headquarters is located in downtown Saint Petersburg, Florida.  The firm offers graphic design, editorial, printing, list, and bulk mail services.  In addition, the facility houses a 1,500 square foot photography studio on-site called Studio Seventeen41 available for rent or for use to get exactly the right images for the firm’s designs.  For more information on Tampa Bay Graphics, please visit http://www.tampabaygraphics.com.
