Hy Tech Tile asked us to design a logo for a very specific usage. This logo will personify a new online service for their clients and prospects. This is yet another clever way to reach out, increase sales and public awareness, and allow their customers to be more interactive with their website.

We recently finished 2 new brochures for our newest client, Hy Tech Tile. This is a company that specializes in the design, fabrication and installation of natural stone countertops.

They needed a tri-fold for promotional purposes, and another brochure for the care and maintenance of their products.

Our local newspaper and radio station are talking about Migrate Design! The Art Stop Project has conveyed lots of interest within our local community. We took part in this project by submitting two of our photos, and both were chosen. The Signal and KHTS are listing the 8 artists that got selected.

“There is a tremendous amount of talent in this city and the selected artworks truly show that the arts are alive in our community.”
Mayor Pro Tem Marsha McLean

The City of Santa Clarita Arts and Events Office (AEO) and the Santa Clarita Arts Commission sought to commission ten artworks to express the theme “A Fresh Look“. Migrate Design submitted two photos for the Art Stop Project, and both were selected! So keep an eye out for them in bus shelters around town.



In the month of September, our photos will be featured in transit bus shelters throughout the city of Santa Clarita. They will be included in the advertising efforts of the Santa Clarita Festival of the Arts, held on October 2 and 3, 2010, in Old Town Newhall. We will have a booth, so please come visit us!

CalArts turned it into an official class for their students, who will get credits for teaching visual art to the kids of Newhall Elementary.
This is only the beginning of a long relationship. The overall popularity of the program was gratifying, and we’re expecting it to grow substantially next year.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Graphic design is a powerful communication and visual medium. It often includes typography, visual arts and page layout techniques, to produce a final product.

Graphic design is everywhere, and it is extremely easy to get lost in this massive visual invasion. One way to differentiate yourself and your brand is to bring fun into the final product. Fun increases brand recall more than any other style or emotion. A fun design can’t be silly or reckless; it needs to be clever and appropriate in order to work its best. It requires a great amount of research and creativity. If done right, it will stand out of the masses. People will remember your design better because of the happy feeling they felt when they saw it. They will share it to friends and family via email and social networks.

Migrate Design can help you create a fun design for your business graphical needs. Call us at 661 644 6518, or email us, and we will show you how happy our designs can be ; )

This is our third brochure design job from this particular client. This tri-fold brochure was designed to inform people about the specifics of this new event, taking place at the Ritz-Carlton in the Grand Cayman Islands. Needless to say, we were quite inspired by such a magnificent place.
Another 1,000 of those brochures, and we might be able to stay there for a full day!
