Believe It or Not: The Digital Age is Breathing New Life into Catalogs
Some History
Not long after the printing press was invented, the first catalogs were printed, and have been in circulation ever since. Seed companies started utilizing catalogs in the 17th Century, and they continue to this date. Even Ben Franklin, though better known for lightning rods and bifocals, is credited with the invention of the mail order concept. He created a catalog of nearly 600 book titles, and made it possible for people to purchase without visiting his store front.
Can custom illustration help differentiate your brand?
Your online visual presence is more important now than it has ever been.
We all know that great imagery is an essential part of effective communication. It solves the problem of how to say what can’t be said in a few words. It can sum up your brand, mission statement, and mood at a glance. You don’t have to sell it; a compelling illustration immediately gives you a voice, and rewards the viewer for sticking around to learn more.

We were under a very tight timeline to re-design and re-launch our website. jamgd came through for us; graphically designing our site, implementing (and training) us on a new platform, and writing several business-critical customizations to work with our existing systems. They met our deadlines and exceeded our expectations at every step in the process.

jamgd are great designers with a keen eye toward marketing. They always do their homework before starting any project—to make sure they have a complete understanding of the client's business and the marketing environment. jamgd is trustworthy, reliable, on time and great people. I have hired them many times, within multiple companies, to do work for me—and will continue to do so.
