About
Good design makes every celebration an event to remember. Carla David Design believes it all begins with a vision and love for good design. We want to create something that is uniquely you. First we get to know each other, your ideas, your needs, personal flair, taste and style for your event or design project. Then the process of transforming your needs into reality begins. Our love for modern aesthetics and timeless sensibility is combined with our love for extraordinarily clean, elegant designs and fine printing techniques. Each client has a different need and each design we create is tailored to each client’s personality, and project goal. My approach is friendly, honest, and professional. My goal is to make this part of your event planning, stress free, fun, and personable. Call for a free one-on-one consultation to explore what we can do for you.

PAYMENT: We ask for a 50% nonrefundable deposit before we begin design process. Final payment is required upon delivery of your project files to press. PROOFING: Please proofread carefully. The approved final round is exactly what is sent for formal printing. It is up to you to make sure all information is exactly as you want it! You will have three rounds of changes including the final approval to the design. Any additional rounds will be charged on your final invoice for $75 a round.

PRINTING TECHNIQUES: Letterpress is the printing technique that was invented in the 15th century where a plate is impressed into the paper to create a distinct and artistic impression. Offset – Flat ink printing technique where a plate makes an inked impression on a rubber-blanketed cylinder, which in turn transfer it to the paper.
