We specialize in identities and branding, website design, print and publication design, signage systems and public space branding. In addition, we have established partners in traditional marketing, internet and social media marketing, copy, seo, programming, photography, and printing… allowing us to deliver best-in-class solutions.
IDENTITY + BRANDING
A good identity reflects your company’s values and its promise, its dynamism and its craft. It is a pillar of your marketing strategy that differentiates you in the marketplace and enhances your stature.
Mizu starts with a diagnostic process that allows us to build a fundamental understanding of your organization. We take these key business components and incorporate them into a creative solution that is specific to your company and unique in your marketplace. The result is an identity that is clean, distinctive and timeless.
Whether designing a completely new identity or renewing an existing one, the identity is just the start. Mizu manages your visual look across marketing campaigns to ensure consistent branding that builds equity into the image.
Print + PUBLICATION DESIGN
There is the physical beauty of the book - the texture, the weight of the page, the structure. And there is the beauty of the dialogue that occurs between text and image and between one chapter and the next.
Mizu works very closely with the client to understand the intent, content and system of a publication. We then create a visual thread that flows through the project, binding the disparate elements. Whether working with existing photographs and content or helping build the project up from the foundation, this common thread creates a unified work that speaks to the reader.
Mizu prides itself on its attention to detail during the printing stage, as well. We manage the process right through to the final product to ensure the truest reproduction of your vision. In addition, we encourage our clients to follow our lead in using sustainable materials and printing methods.
SIGNAGE + PUBLIC SPACE DESIGN
Signage is an extension of the brand. Wayfinding, exhibits, donor recognition walls and more, Mizu designs complete spatial branding for retail or public spaces. Where applicable, we collaborate with the architects to ensure that our designs work in harmony with their vision. We explore the possibilities of how graphic design can change the experience of a space.
WEB + INTERACTIVE DESIGN
A website is often a customer’s first introduction to a company so it has to be both impactful and informative. It has to marry form and function and provide a unique voice for each client.
Mizu believes in designing websites that are an extension of your brand. They provide seamless integration of your identity; they are engaging; they have simple, clean navigation; and they give users a reason to return to the site. We also believe in providing sites that are effortless for the client to maintain and update their own content as well as manage social media and marketing.
