We integrate the culture the audience and the client. Quality communication, whether commercial, artistic or social service, requires this. While we specialize in Oakland, film/video, environmental and a few other disciplines, we are adept at learning culture (we are bilingual Spanish) and dedicated to expressing yours.

We can project, print or manufacture manage, meaning we take over from first sketch until final project delivery. Whether it is a print, banner or T-shirt run—vendors for which we have almost entirely in West Oakland, allowing us to press check or provide rushes very easily—or the manufacture and installation of massive architectural banners or specialty lit signage, we do it all. We schedule, check-up on, do all quality checks and insure timely delivery. The cost is 20% of manufacture fee, or for project, creative and manufacture.
