In a world of generic ideas and logo mills, corporate polish, originality and creative thinking are a necessity to stand out among the sheep.
Black Ink was founded in 2014 as a 2 person graphic design company, working with small local businesses to develop their marketing collateral, brand identity and graphic needs. Founded by Eric V. Allen, a 20 year arts veteran, he partnered with Mark Slotnick and Duquan Bell in 2016 to expand the company into a visual communications group.
We speak in visuals; Marketing collateral, Advertisements, Commercials, Social Media, Business Cards, Logos, Signage... it's all visual speaking. It made sense to expand out of one aspect of the industry into an all encompassing service.
In Summer of 2017 Black Ink Creative Partners entered into the corporate and government marketplace and has been developing since. With the expansion into film/video, motion graphics/animation and web development, all our graphics and design services are complimented by these valuable assets. Included in this offering is the foundation of all visual art - traditional arts. Illustration, Painting, Analog Design, which is a strong part of creative quality campaigns. Anyone can learn to push a button but do they understand why that button does that, how it can be created in the real world and how can it be reintroduced into the digital plane.
We are prideful of our commitment to originality, quality and professionalism and refuse to cut corners for the sake of a dollar. We hold ourselves to high standards and believe all businesses are worth every dollar to create a lasting first impression, however we cannot know that impression until we get to know the people behind the business.
Getting to know you, your product/service, ideals, mission, staff, market and culture is essential for us to truly understand your visual needs, and execute those needs with the highest respect and quality.
Every team member is passionate about what they do, they don't just like what they do, they truly love it... They would not be on this team if they were anything less than passionate about their career.
Founded: 2014
