About

       Live, Be, Create! To live is to be yourself, and to leave a path of creation as you go along your Journey. My name is Marc and welcome to my freelance arts website. I have been making art since I was 2 years old and I have continued to grow and fine tune my skills ever since. I've studied at the Academy of Arts and De Anza college but I am mostly self taught. I really enjoy every form of art and music. I play guitar, bass guitar, and a little piano. I've worked in nearly every area, from graphic design, to painting, drawing, to set building, film making, flash animation, music recording, photography, film editing, construction, and so on. It's a way for me to get lost in my own creativity, and a way to share my talents with others who would like a little inspiration in their lives. I have worked with many people over the years and I truly enjoy making my clients visions come to life.

       With the skill set that I have I can work on a variety of different task which include: Wedding photography and event filming, graphic design, motion graphics, business cards and business branding, logo's of all sorts (simple or complex), website design, t- shirt design, custom music and sound recording, music videos, how to instructional videos, business promotional materials ( wall painting, brochures, flyers, sign design, menus, youtube commercials ) business branding, and others.  I like to sit down with my clients individually and discuss exactly what their vision is before we start. Typically we'll start by brainstorming Ideas back and forth until we have a definitive structure or outline for the project. Once we have a great outline, I will do a first draft and wait for your approval.  Upon approval I'll create a final draft and then continue with as many revisions as needed until you are completely satisfied. I work at a competative price and I am willing to work within a clients budget to maximize results. All prices depend on the scale of work, revisions needed and materials, which we can discuss before the project begins. I take pride in my work and in producing quality designs that you will absolutley love.

        As you browse around please keep in mind that some samples are out dated with older technology. However, I like to showcase everything that I do from a small sketch to a full on computer generated logo. Currently my camera setup is HD 1080P, and I use both the Adobe Creative Suite, and Cubase 5 for all my design and music needs.

       Feel free to look around the website and contact me at the link below    

with any questions or projects that you'd like to get started on. Don't forget to check out the drop down menue under Digital arts for a huge variety of designs. Thank you for visiting Live Be Create! And please share with your friends.

Prices will vary depending upon the size, diffuculty, special requests, and amount of time needed to put your production together. I am a single freelance artist not a large corporation and I work alone. This means you will be getting personalized one on one attention throughout your project.

 

I am willing to work with a budget, however, keep in mind that music videos, logo's and any design work I do is 100% original and takes time. I will be doing everything from the conceptualizing of ideas, brainstorming, location searching, sketching of logo's, editing and recording of sound and video, to the finalizing of formats for the web and others. These are some of the actions I will be doing behind the scenes and all of these may or may not effect your price.

 

The amount of work I will be putting into your project is a mirror reflection of how I charge. For example, an animated video is going to require much more time in frame by frame animation then recording an HD video would. In addition, a simple logo such as a custom font on a white backround would take much less time then a full color hand drawn or digitally designed logo. Think about it as eating Mcdonalds opposed to a gourmet 5 star meal !! Sure one company might be cheaper, but do you really know what you are eating? This is a good question to ask yourself when trying to get a quote. Do you want something decent done quickly and inexpensively , or do you want something with awesome appeal that will pull potential clients towards your business.

 

note that I do not use cookie cutter graphics or stock images in my work everything is original as can be.

 

In order for you to get an accurate quote please be as detailed as possilbe when contacting me.
