Business & Design Services - As a freelance artist and businessperson I understand that it’s a lot to expect a creative person to know about all of the aspects of promoting yourself or your service. You should be spending your time creating!
I’ve had experience in self-promotion, designing for the Web and for print, and computer photo editing.

I will be glad to answer any questions and discuss which of my many services are right for you.

Scanning
Do you need digital files to submit to art shows, to newspapers or for other publicity?
Do you want images of your art, personal photos or other precious documents to keep for posterity? Digital images are then burned on a disk for you to use, to take to a printer, or provide to the press.

Classic Web Design
Do you need to have a Web presence but don’t know where to start?
Do you want to refer clients to your online portfolio?
Don’t use a computer? No problem!
Aikman Design will help you every step of the way - from basic design to choosing images and preparing them for the Web, creating the Web site itself (doing the technical stuff), and finally publishing your personalized Web site on the Internet.

Photography
Don’t have a digital camera or can’t figure out how to use it?
Need your art or product photographed and burned (transferred) to a disk? 

Photo Editing of Art and Photographs
This process involves scanning art or a photo and touching up the picture on the computer. The edited picture is then saved to a disk. You can move the pictures onto your computer, email them, or take the disk to a printer or photo processor.

Restoration to old or damaged photographs, too. Go halfway down the page and you'll see an example of restorations job I have done. The oil paint was flaking off a family painting so after taking a high resolution digital photo, I literally rebuilt the missing pieces pixel by pixel. Then the final image was printed on canvas - better than the original!

The bottom line that at Aikman Design we have a broad knowledge base and will be happy to guide you through the process. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions. . .
