intro
When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

BrAnDingDiscover Your vAlue
Your brand is alive and exists as an intrinsic value of your business or service. At Fat Tater, we dig deep utilizing qualitative research methods to extract this value. This intrinsic value is fluid and means different things to different people. That is why we organize your brand style, personality and voice into one cohesive unit that conveys a narrative thread.
We help you build a community of loyal customers around your narrative thread that conveys who you are, what you value and communicates your brand promise not decorate it. If executed with precision, your narrative thread will uncover value that others have previously overlooked.
Finally, we deploy our most creative team members to communicate your narrative in an effective, clever and truthful manner. We aim to hold the interest of your customers and show them why they should care. Our precise methodology yields consistant results, so you can expect to reap the rewards of an authentic and sustainable brand.
it is a mistake to think that you are the typical target user. — cAMeron Moll
• To be successful, you must know thyself and live your authentic story.
• You must discover your intrinsic value before you begin designing.
• Your logo is merely a visual anchor. It is not a brand.
• The best brands have a working, usable visual identity system. (business card, envelopes, letterhead, website, invoices, PowerPoint templates, shipping labels, bags, t-shirts and more)
• Comprehensive branding campaigns include taglines, keywords, extended color pallettes and clear value propositions wrapped up within a Brand Style Guide – a user manual for your brand experience.
When we feel less secure, with less control over our daily lives, we reach out to brands to connect with a time when things seemed better. — MArK goBe

We HelP You stAnD out
Fat Tater approaches graphic design as a collaborative effort. We involve the client, discuss their needs, research styles and then design solutions that fulfill their needs. From custom packaging to signage for a retail space or trade show booth, we bring your brand to life visually.
Upon final approval of your design, Fat Tater doesn’t quickly jump to the next project. We coordinate with the printer of your choice to ensure the print process is smooth and efficient.
i think if you’re starting out early in the process by talking about your ideas for solutions, you’re alrea-dy not listening. i think you need to enter into any de-sign project with that zen learner’s mind of ‘i don’t know what i don’t know.’

★ Print design
Good design stimulates multiple senses.
Touch and sight are the most obvious,
but proper color choice can trigger
a smell or sound when it stimulates a
memory. That is why printed materials
are still relevant. Texture, feel and the
rich history that binds us to printed
materials is a pleasure that many still
seek. However, a good design firm also
understands how these designs should
work across digital platforms as well.
★ brochure designBrochures are one of the most powerful
tools for marketing your business.
Often overlooked due to the expense of
printing, we encourage their use when
needed. Fat Tater’s brochure designs
are 100% custom designs. We provide
optional copywriting that weaves your
brand narrative using your distinct tone.
★ Poster designPosters are a great way to advertise
your trade show, festival, concert or
other special event.
★ advertisement designGripping advertisements with a strong
call to action are the mainstay of our
design services. Our advertisements
have been featured in local, regional,
national and internationally recognized
magazines around the globe such as
Southern Living, AAA Home & Away,
Quarter Horse News, Small Market
Meetings, and more.
★ signage designFat Tater pays attention to details.
Signage that is cohesive to your brand’s
visual image is of utmost importance.
From billboards and in-store signage
to tradeshows and banners, we offer
design solutions to meet your signage
needs. We can even recommend artists
for hand painted, unique signs.
★ Corporate Collateral designWith a wide variety of needs from
business cards to stationary systems
and annual reports, Fat Tater utilizes
your logo and brand style to handcraft a
consistent, powerful brand identity.
BrocHures & ADs
★ Packaging designPackaging ranges from simple boxes to
custom solutions involving complex die-
cuts. Shelf appeal is the most important
factor of package design, and we design
packaging solutions that help you stand
out.
★ Print CoordinationMany of our clients have established
relationships with a print house. In this
situation, we can hand over files that
match your printer’s specs. Others prefer
us to handle the entire process from
design to printing. We offer a limited
range of printing services (growing more
each day) and can offer competitive rates.
If it is something we do not print, we
help you choose the best vendor for your
needs.

Fat Tater offers WordPress website design and development options to match your current needs and budget. From simple WordPress installations to complex custom WordPress designs with custom plugins, we map out an online journey guided by your goals.
No longer is WordPress only used for blogging, it is the foundation for dynamic, data-driven websites. WordPress is a friendly, flexible solution that allows for a quick, professional web presence via template websites. Custom WordPress themes can be designed for larger companies who have a
need for enhanced features. With thousands of third-party plugins, WordPress websites can contain many features that were once cost prohibitive. It is possible to transform your website into most anything you can imagine. WordPress also allows for easy updates since clients can make their own updates.
A good design is driven by needs and defined by constraints. — AstiK PAnt
• Quickly update your website whenever you need
• Gain competitive advantage with frequent updates
• Cost-effective websites with robust functionality even for small businesses and start-ups
• Save in long-term costs since edits can be done in-house
• Open source software means no third-party company; usage license or other restrictions can suddenly increase the cost of the technology
We are not artists or poets. We are artisans and craftsmen. our products solve problems. they do not hang on museum walls. — DAn lAcivitA
