PORTFOLIO WEBSITE
The needs of a client often go beyond just good art for their product or service - it often includes the incorporation of other visual and/or audio media. And it all has to be technically compatible, subjectively coherent
and overtly compelling.
Besides designing every conceivable form and style of graphics, Gnu Ink’s background includes copywriting, writing, producing and editing for TV & video, directing photoshoots, designing opening film credits and mixing & producing soundtracks.
Gnu Ink understands the role of good art within the big picture - and delivers with style & affordability.
