Consumer
Consumer projects tend to be smaller sized and more personal, with a heavy focus on customer satisfaction. They often have a focus on marketing-related issues and ecommerce.
“John was able to take my design and concept and translate it into a viable, working medium that presents my work exactly the way I want it to be viewed. He went completely with my direction yet took it to a level I couldn't possibly envision without his expertise. The result goes far beyond and has much greater impact than what I originally wanted and has actually influenced my work.”
