Intro
Ditto Creative is a tiny graphic design and wed development company, and also happens to be the creative outlet for me, Robert Stevens. Ditto's scope of projects range from e-commerce, informational website, and on-line advertising design and development to company identity and branding, brochure, retail catalogs, direct mail, and print advertising.
Over the last three and a half years, I have been working for a great design agency called Riser Media as their Art Director and Creative Service Manager. An outstanding team doing incredible work. While there, I was able to help develop projects for clients including ABC, Disney, FX, HBO, National Geographic, NBC, Neopets, TV Guide and WB.

At Riser Media, I managed the design and programming teams as we developed the new Club Penguin site. The subscription based site includes games and user environment activities.

Full Circle Beads
E-Commerce Site
Full Circle Beads, a growing e-commerce business needed to update their site and contacted Ditto Creative. Working with the client, we started from scratch and went through wireframes, concept designs and build (HTML, CSS, PHP) phases. Some critical goals for the site update include: provide information more effectively, an easier shopping experience, and gathering customer data for marketing purposes.
ContractorsU
E-Commerce Site
ContractorsU, a new Salt Lake City based company contacted Ditto Creative to help them develop a site that would allow contractors and developers a convenient place to help fulfill their state required continuing education courses. The courses are provided in a unique cd format, making it easier for the contractor to stay up todate on the latest guidelines and requirements.
Print & Branding
Top of the Hill Nursery
Branding and Print Material
Top of the Hill Nursery needed an updated identity to go along with their expanding market in the Portland, Oregon area and contacted Ditto Creative to develop it as well as design their print materials. This local favorite's entire project was printed on 70% post-consumer recycled paper.
Nike
SKU Product Catalog
Nike retained Ditto Creative's services to help produce the print version of their on-line product catalog being developed for the Nike' Sports Knowledge Underground (SKU) registered retail environment. The catalog included critical sales information for running, cross-training and soccer equipment.
Rock Creek
Branding
Rock Creek Watershed Partners worked with Ditto Creative to develop their visual branding package for a group of twelve watersheds in the state of Oregon. The branding had to cross over to outdoor signage used within the watersheds and emphasize the importance of protecting the soil, plants, and water.
