On social media, you have between 1-3 seconds to capture your audience’s attention, tell your story, and have consumers understand the content they are seeing.
With such a short window, creating striking artwork is key to catching your audiences’ eye, but being able to tell the brand’s story within that time frame is where it becomes a fun challenge.

A look behind the CREATIVE curtain

Since every creative task is in itself unique, having a creative workflow strategy will allow me to properly identify how to effectively capture the essence of the brand and properly tell it’s story as it pertains to your audience.

  • This is the discovery/pitch phase.

    Discovery:
    Gathering the essential client information to provide accurate creative solutions.
    Let’s hop on a zoom or phone call, or if you’re local, let’s grab a coffee and discuss the project.

    Pitch:
    Discussing creative solutions and how they can be implemented. Pitch deck will be emailed and gone over with the client to ensure we are checking off all creative needs before beginning on the project.

    These combined make up the ground floor to getting a project off the ground.

  • Showing initial design concepts to ensure the creative vision and strategy are in alignment.

  • Show finished designs based off feedback from concepts. There can be small changes before designs are finalized and go live.

  • Final artwork is provided to the client to be posted and/or printed.

who is dave?

My name is Dave Heringer, but please just call me Dave. The proud owner of a degree in Multimedia Production specializing in Graphic Design, I am now a multi award-winning Creative Director and Graphic Designer. I’ve been described as a “True cool kid doing dope stuff” and that’s what I hope to continue no matter how long I do this.

Having worked internally for some prestigious professional sports teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I understand what it takes to reach an audience through innovative story-telling, coordinated marketing strategies, and unique creative executions to keep them engaged for years.

While the majority of my work is in the sports field, I pride myself on being very flexible and able to execute any brief no matter the medium.

Whatever you’re looking for, I guarantee I have done it to the highest level, including advertisements, emails, invitations, billboards, magazines, public transportation vinyl wraps, murals, clothing, social media graphics, youtube thumbnails, event signage (both print and digital) and more.

Are you ready to make art with heart?

I proudly never use AI or Generative AI when creating graphics.
