Welcome to Mighty Fine Graphics.
|
Hello! My name is Christine Mullis; I've been a designer for over 15 years. My experience includes performing marketing and graphic design for a private industry council, an international radio program, and eight years as the graphic designer for a community college, where I also taught Computer Graphics for three semesters. At the present time, I operate my own graphic and web design business in Ukiah, California. Located two hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area (where I was born and raised), Ukiah is a small, peaceful community in beautiful Mendocino County. Of course, I'm happy to work with you no matter where you live! Scroll down to see my latest work ....
Speaking of San Francisco, did you know . . . While it is generally assumed that the media and fashion mecca of New York or the entertainment/movie capital of Los Angeles have the leading design clusters, they actually came in second and third. San Francisco is the nation’s leading design capital, with an LQ (location quotient) of 1.8. See American Leading Design Cities San Francisco again tops the list for self-employed graphic designers, and leading tech hubs dominate the rest of the list as well. Nearby Silicon Valley’s San Jose is second, followed by New York, Austin, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and Boston. Why "Mighty Fine" ? People often ask me, why "Mighty Fine Graphics?" Because of course, I want to bring my clients fine graphics. "Mighty" refers to my logo, the elephant. To me, elephants represent strength, wisdom, compassion, enormous emotion, community, mystery, playfulness, silliness, fortitude, perseverance and taking care of those you love. I wanted to find a way to incorporate this mighty animal into my business name. Another thing you'll notice about my work is the variety - I'm not locked into a particular style, but love to experiment with a multitude of design options and ideas. So whether your tastes run from the silly to the sublime, and whatever style your particular business demands, I'm pretty sure I can come up with something that pleases you.

I also am crazy about Newfoundland Dogs, and have devoted an entire site to them at:
NewfieLove.com. I also wrote a book inspired by a Newfie: Lizzie the Magical Dog In my spare time, I love to create designs for Newfie Lovers out there. You can take a look at them here: Shop for Newfie Designs |
ABOUT MIGHTY FINE GRAPHICS
I work quickly and quietly behind the scenes for you while you carry on with your business. The great thing about working with a contractor is you only need to pay them for the hours they work to get the job done. I will keep you informed at all times of the progress of your job, and pay great attention to detail. I am happy to obtain quotes and send your job to a printer. I believe in getting as clear a picture as possible of what a client has in mind at the onset so that nobody's time is wasted. To get an idea of what others I've worked with think about working with me, please visit my Testimonials page.

Graphic design quotes I love

"Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition."
- Freeman Thomas
"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works."
- Steve Jobs
"Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful."
- Dieter Rams
"Don’t worry about people stealing your design work. Worry about the day they stop." – Jeffrey Zeldman
"I will solve your problem, and you will pay me." - Paul Rand
"The best design comes from nature." - Something we all know!
