Shintani Giordan Design

Toronto based Shintani Giordan Design uses colour as one element in graphic design for visual communications. We understand what it means to see through color along a range from opacity to transparency, designing effective colour contrasts and developing pleasing colour palettes. A graphic designer is critical to any organization which cares about their brand. Working in a collaborative fashion, we provide a consistent brand voice across multiple mediums. Tasks may include strategy, illustration, typography, layouts, imagery, file preparation and management.

Identity

We work through your needs and desires to create an identity that represents your company and a brand that has impact and resonance with your target audience. We can produce a corporate style guide, which is essential to protect your marquee logo and company branding across various media.

Stationery Suite

Once the identity is established, often clients want a professional stationery suite to communicate with clients, prospects, partners, suppliers, employees and so on. In some cases a full range of pieces are printed, while for others, an electronic version is preferred.

Marketing Material

Whether you require brochures, sell sheets, direct mail, newsletters, POP or any other printed material, Shintani Giordan is able to assist. We provide the design, art direction, photography, art working and print to ensure your message is properly communicated to your chosen audience. Having great marketing literature is key to successfully communicating your products and services to your prospective target audience or established customers.

Events

From corporate events to private parties and weddings we can organise all your printed material to suit your desired theme. Coupons, save the date cards, invitations, menus, recipes, feature sheets, clings, danglers and even promotional items etc.

Advertising

We create trade and consumer advertising. Effective advertising grabs attention, communicates your message and drives sales. It must be consistent and work as part of your branding strategy to help build customer trust and loyalty. Advertising is your opportunity to deliver your message in the correct tone of voice to your target audience. We can work in conjunction with your brand identity to create advertising with visual impact.

Mood Boards

Our mood boards communicate trends, colourways and future brand development. With product samples, fabrics, accessories, design concepts etc. our boards will help you to enhance, develop and confirm the direction your project will take.

Icons and Characters

A picture tells a thousand words. We can create icons or characters to illustrate an existing concept, information or action in a variety of mediums to suit individual client needs. From pencils to finished artwork, line art with colour, “app” type 3D rendering or watercolour illustration etc., we can provide the skills to fulfil the brief. Located near Lake Ontario, in the west part of Toronto, Shintani Giordan designs packaging that influences the perception of the customer. One of our specialties is consumer packaged goods which convey a strong image to both the retailer and the consumer. Our designs reflect the appropriate price points and increase shelf presence. As part of a team, we help design structural packaging working with your branding guidelines or develop new and exciting guidelines to bring your products to life. We get to know your product, customers and competitors. We want to understand your aspirations before we work to produce award winning packaging design and point of sale solutions with strong shelf appeal. Great creative packaging needs to work on multiple senses. It must be eye catching to provoke curiosity then establish an emotional response using a combination of colour, imagery and pattern, in a friendly structure to create a desire to actually choose your product over others. Another sense is feel - how will your product packaging design feel to the touch, as you pick it up and move it around. And finally, what is the call to action that will ensure that your new packaging helps the product move to purchase?

Trade show booths

Shintani Giordan Design sees trade show booths as a vital component of many branding and overall visual communication efforts, beneficial to most businesses. Whether you need a standalone display, a fully integrated, system or just some designed content, Shintani Giordan has the technical resources and talented graphic designers to custom tailor a solution to your requirements. We partner with industry experts in both physical display and digital solution providers to ensure your investment really works for you.
