Once your logo is established and your branding is coming together we will help you with any number of graphic design needs and printing. This might take the form of magazine advertising, presentation folders, letterhead, envelopes, posters, banner stands, brochures, a services or food menu, labels, catalogs, postcards, direct mail, decals, flyers, memo pads, door hangers, rack cards, event tickets, playing cards, bookmarks, hang tags, point of sale, billboards, invitations, signs, business checks and forms. Many clients order trade show display and event products. Anvil Graphics can also help you economically source promotional products such as pens, apparel, tote bags, calendars and planners, drink ware. Anvil works with authors and publishers to design books. Some graphic design projects include creative illustrations.
In the last 25 years we have printed all of that and much more, using full color commercial presses, smaller Pantone spot color presses, digital printing, large format printing, screen printing, and even embroidery.
Anvil Graphics specializes in graphic design and printing for commercial businesses and special projects. Owner Craig McDowall has been creating professional printed collateral since starting Anvil Graphics in 1998.
Many clients are new businesses, or firms looking to rebrand. We create custom logo designs based on your business goals and the ‘personality’ of your business. Anvil helps you think through how you want your business to communicate with your potential clients. From formal to silly, we can find the right image for your business.
As we develop your logo it will also be applied to common business items such as business cards or a web site, so that you can see how it will work in a real application. Before you know it your branding will begin to take shape and your business will have a unique presence in the marketplace.
Anvil Graphics also produces hardcover and soft cover books. We have done a number of children’s books, in fact in the summer of 2024 Craig created 32 original illustrations for a children’s book called A Cheesy Tale. Conversely, he did the design and layout of a book about the history of the engineering department at Colorado State University. Try me.
Another area of expertise is Exhibit and Event Products. We can help with trade show exhibit displays, outdoor tents, portable and pop-up exhibit displays, banner stands, table throws, light boxes and retail point of sale.
Craig is also an accomplished photographer and helps clients with commercial pictures. This is typically interior shots, buildings, and products. Normally this is done in support of an ongoing printing project such as a brochure or catalog.
Craig McDowall, who has an artists background in drawing, painting and printmaking, moved to Perryville, MD in 2012. He still serves a number of clients in back in Colorado. Anvil Graphics has provided services to clients from Hawaii to New York, from Alabama to Idaho.
