In an effort to learn more about the
options available to me once I graduate, I have searched for graphic design
firms in the KW area. I knew that I had options here, but didn't know of any specific places. I was pleasantly
surprised to find that there are more than a few studios with more than a decade of experience and some big name clients. So, here are the top five graphic
design studios that I came across in the KW area.
Eyelight Creative Marketing Services
Eyelight has been operating in the KW
area and beyond for 25 years now. Their services include brand
development, advertising/campaigns, logo and corporate identity
design, packaging design, brochure and catalogue design, as well as
website design and maintenance. They have designed for such notable
companies as Piller's and the Perimeter Institute. This is a company
that is also always on the lookout for creative individuals, and
encourages design students or others with experience to contact them.
Scribblers' Club Borderless Media
Strategies
Scribblers' Club was established in
1990 and is home to a mix of designers, photographers, business
strategists and programmers. Their services include branding,
campaigns, illustration, industrial design, new media, photography,
print design and the client process. Some of their clients include
the Ontario Crown Attorney's Association, The Walper Hotel, and
Cafka.
[b]wired Studios
[b]wired is a small agency, but has
worked for big names like Bell, Sun Microsystems and Grand Marnier.
Their mantra is:
- Focus on your customer needs to truly understand what makes them buy
- Think creatively – about the solution and what it looks like
- Plan pragmatically and strategically for the long term
- Get payback – measurable results to make you the most profit

but their proximity to Waterloo has allowed them to service clients

areas. They also have national and international clients. They've
