Process:
Meet/Ideation:
This is the first step to help get your ideas worked into a real life solution. Whether it's a phone call, virtual or in person meeting, I'll discuss what you're looking for, possible solutions and rough costs so you have everything you need to make a decision on moving forward.
Design/Present:
I'll be taking all of our information from step 1 and start the designing phase. Once concepts are worked through they'll be presented to you for feedback/approval. If more iterations are needed based on feedback, I'll make those until we're good to move forward.
Finalize/Handoff:
Final edits and sign off will be handled here. I'll work through vendors (if you don't have any) to make your final solution a reality, whether that's getting business cards, flyers, yards signs, etc. printed or a digital web ad that you'll submit to your sponsor. Either way, I'll make that an easy process for you.

How do I turn ideas into reality?
Hello, my name is TJ Aldrich, founder of 84 Creative. I've been working within corporate marketing in industries such as beverage, chemical, manufacturing and insurance for over 20 years doing exactly this, turning ideas into reality. Throughout my career I've designed materials for every aspect of printing, digital screens and have built relationships with businesses and vendors across the U.S. My focus is taking your ideas (or help you ideate more) and turning those into tangible solutions to achieve your goals. I'm not looking to just pass off a design or idea either, but provide you with tools and information to succeed right away.

The world of file types is vast and includes many different areas, but for design purposes I'm going to focus on image files here. Not only are you looking at files that end in .jpg, .png, .gif, etc. but you also might hear terms like RGB, CMYK, raster or vector. Did you say vector? Sounds like a foreign language right? Why does my logo look pixelated when it’s scaled up? They said they need a vector file? Over the years I have found it common to not understand what types of files should be used for what when it comes to your logo for example. I created this simple cheat sheet to help you better understand what the different files are and in what circumstances they should be used.
