ABOUT THE MAD HAND ARTS, GRAPHICS & DESIGN
Working in both digital and fine arts media, and in most disciplines, The Mad Hand are prolific producers of high-impact, out-of-the-box design. Our portfolios include advertising, book & CD cover design, poster art, logo & identity design, merchandise design, promotional materials, print collateral of all types, and much more. We have 21 "A" ratings on
Angie's List, and appear in Angie's List Honor Roll. The Mad Hand is run bow to stern by our award-winning art director. ALL design and artwork is conceived and executed by the Art Director personally with input from clients. We do not subcontract or outsource. We are a strongly pro-environment and animal-friendly company, donating many hours of design time yearly to humane awareness campaigns, such as for Rational Animal and the Coalition for NYC Animals. We're in New York, but can work with anyone anywhere who can view digital drafts of their projects by e-mail. Write us at [email protected] for a quote, or visit www.themadhand.com for further information. We'd love to develop your project ideas! ABOUT THE ART DIRECTOR

For digital graphics we work on an iMac computer in the Adobe Creative Suite and other industry standard graphics applications as needed. We have all relevant hardware and software, can work to the specs of any outside print shop, publisher or manufacturer, and can share files in minutes. For fine art projects, we are experienced in most media, and are expert mimics of most artistic styles. We do some photography.
