Graphic Design, from logos to business cards, newsletters to websites and more

Mystique Creative was founded in Toronto on the guiding principle that good design does not only fulfill an artful promise, but also functions beyond its intent.

From business cards to direct mail, from banner ads to websites, good graphic design tells a visual story. Good graphic design enhances and supports usability, rather than undermining it. Good design employs succinct psychological tools, such as reactions to and associations with forms and colours. But above all, good graphic design is a visual expression that functions in optimized interaction with communication and strategy. This makes heavy demands on the designer's ability to integrate design into the whole. It also calls for considerable insight into the customer's firm, the purpose of the message and the underlying strategic thinking. Because like communication, design must reflect your profile, appeal to your buyers/partners, and also distance you from your competitors.

A good designer must therefore be able to be creative within the framework laid down by you. Creativity is of no use without a sense of context and economic realism. Mystique Creative’s designers take pride in their ability to work within financial and time limitations.

It should be clearly understood that a professional graphic designer does not necessarily have his, or her, own style. This is because the designer's job is to supply a message that fits your company's view of itself, your company's strategy, and your company's desired market position. Another reason is that the design must appeal to the values of the users. Good design must be design that works: design that helps generate revenue and optimize the understanding of the message. Such design can only result from thorough preparation, an analytical appreciation of the company's message and market, and naturally a creative mind.
