Fuiano+Quintin ( Philadelphia, PA)

918 Fitzwater Street Philadelphia, PA

We brainstorm, we problem solve, we design and fabricate. Fuiano+Quintin design and produce visual communication through various forms of media. We get our best results by partnering with you from initial concepts through final delivery. Lou Fuiano owned and operated Fuiano Design since 1990 before teaming up with Jason to form a growing partnership. His first job out of art school was working for a typographer where he learned to love the visual impact of typographic form. His formative design years were spent doing marketing communication for retailers and corporate clients as well as doing book cover design for publishers in Philadelphia and New York. He sometimes teaches design for print and the web at Temple University and at UArts.

Description

Lyme Connecticut

Lyme Academy College is a relatively young art school in coastal Connecticut. For about 40 years they have been focused on teaching representational painting and sculpture techniques to students from all over the country. While they had a serviceable website in place, it had become cluttered and disorganized from years of add-ons and revisions. It was clearly time to re-think the site and how it was structured. We worked closely with the dean and the administration on content strategy and ultimately how best to set up content management. Another objective was to make the schools assets and curriculum easy to locate and navigate. We were very proud of the results and were successful in improving interest and enrollment.

University of the Arts

Philadelphia

The University of the Arts in Philadelphia is a diverse and ever transforming art college. We were doing posters and marketing materials building awareness for the Multimedia department and the lecture series therein. http://fuianoquintin.com/University-of-the-Arts

Covenant Executive Search

New York, NY

Covenant ES was a very new firm in the executive search market. However, the principals of the firm have been in the industry for years. We were called in to help brand their new firm with logo art and a brochure site. Each decision for the logo art was carefully thought out. The site needed to be easy to get around and to stay out of the way of the words. http://covenantes.com/

ModSpace

Berwyn, PA

ModSpace is a modular construction company with offices throughout the United States and Canada. While modular building has gained great credibility as a result of trends in sustainable architecture, the cubes or "containers" themselves do not easily lend themselves to marketing materials. Some of what we tried to do with these marketing pieces is show the people and the enormous potential behind the products. http://fuianoquintin.com/ModSpace

Logo Design

http://fuianoquintin.com/Logo-Art

While "branding" has come to mean a large-scale marketing philosophy, many times, clients just need a mark or logo art to get things started. The important thing is that the art can effectively communicate the nature of the business or organization. This particular form of graphic design requires focus unlike any other design task. It must generate an emotional response while using very little real estate. Color, typography, image all pull together to speak to your position in the marketplace. These are some that we've designed over the years.

Music and Musicians

http://fuianoquintin.com/Music-and-Musicians

Being so connected to the music scene in Philadelphia, we do our share of music packaging and promotional pieces. Lately, we've been discovering new technology that also allows us to do more with web media and social networking. These new tools provide an environment to create content managed sites on a small budget and to quickly get these projects up and running. Mostly though, if gives us a chance to stretch, be a bit more lively in our design approach and generally do more with less. It's always a great process.

University of Pennsylvania Press

http://fuianoquintin.com/University-of-Pennsylvania-Press

University of Penn Press is an academic publisher attached to the university. Often times we will present ideas for cover concept, art and design. We were doing about 8 cover and book jacket designs a year for Penn. These were some of our favorites.
