What we do
Great design doesn’t just look good.
It communicates.
Every business needs design that works — not just design that exists. Whether it’s a brochure that gets picked up at a trade show, a business card that gets kept instead of tossed, or packaging that earns a second look on the shelf, the quality of your design directly affects how people perceive your brand.
At Amberblue Media + Design, we’ve spent over 20 years designing for businesses across every industry you can imagine — from boutique skincare brands to national fitness companies, law firms to cannabis startups. We love the diversity, and we bring the same level of craft and care to every single project regardless of size or budget.
And because we handle both design and print in-house, your artwork goes from screen to press without ever getting lost in translation.
The diversity of our clients keeps us sharp. Every new industry is a new creative challenge — and we love that.
How we use AI in our design process
We use AI to research trends, generate inspiration references, and streamline our workflow — but every design we deliver is conceived, crafted, and refined by human designers. Your materials will never look like they came out of a template generator.
What’s included
Every format your business needs.
01
Business Cards & Stationery
Your most personal marketing tool. We design business cards, letterheads, envelopes, and notecards that reinforce your brand at every touchpoint — and we print them too, at below-retail rates.
02
Brochures & Sell Sheets
Leave-behind materials that do the selling when you can’t be there in person. We design brochures, tri-folds, and single-page sell sheets that are clear, compelling, and on-brand.
03
Trade Show & Event Materials
Banners, table covers, retractable displays, signage, and everything else you need to show up and stand out. We design the whole booth package so everything works together visually.
04
Product Labels & Packaging
From boutique skincare to food and beverage, we design labels and packaging that communicate quality and convert browsers into buyers — both on shelf and online.
05
Apparel & Merchandise
T-shirts, hats, tote bags, branded promo items — we’ve been designing apparel for over 20 years and understand the technical requirements for screen printing, embroidery, and beyond.
06
Marketing Decks & Presentations
Pitch decks, investor presentations, and sales materials that look as polished as the ideas inside them. We design for impact so your presentation does justice to your work.
How we work
Our graphic design process.
Straightforward, collaborative, and built around your deadline. Here’s what to expect from start to finish.
1
Brief & Goals
We start by understanding what the piece needs to do, who it’s for, and what success looks like — before a single pixel is moved.
2
Brand Alignment
We pull your existing brand assets and make sure everything we create fits seamlessly within your visual identity — or helps define one if you’re starting fresh.
3
Initial Concepts
We present initial design directions for your review — giving you real options to react to, not a single take-it-or-leave-it concept.
4
Revisions
We refine based on your feedback until the design feels exactly right. We’d rather get it perfect than get it done fast.
5
Print-Ready Files
We prepare final files to professional print specifications — bleeds, crop marks, color profiles — so nothing goes wrong at the press.
6
Delivery & Beyond
You receive every file format you need. And if you want us to print it too, we’ll take it straight to production at below-retail rates.

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
How long does a typical graphic design project take?
It depends on the scope. A business card or simple flyer can be turned around in 1–3 business days. A full brochure or trade show package typically takes 1–2 weeks. We always ask about your deadline upfront and will let you know honestly if we can meet it — and rush timelines are available when needed.
Do I need to have a brand already in place to work with you?
Not at all. We work with businesses at every stage — from brand new startups with nothing yet to established companies with full brand guidelines. If you don’t have a brand yet, we can build one for you first, or we can design your materials in a style that we develop together from scratch.
Can you handle both the design and the printing?
Yes — and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with Amberblue. We handle design and print under one roof, which means your files go straight to press without any miscommunication or quality loss. We also offer below-retail print rates, so you’re getting premium quality at a better price than most print shops.
What file formats will I receive?
You’ll receive print-ready files (PDF with bleeds and crop marks) and web/screen-optimized versions (PNG, JPEG) as appropriate for the project. Editable source files (AI or InDesign) are not included as standard but are available upon request for an additional fee, determined at the time of the project.
Do you design for digital as well as print?
Absolutely. We design for both print and digital — social media graphics, email headers, digital ads, presentation slides, website graphics, and more. Many projects require both, and we make sure everything stays visually consistent across every format and platform.
Do you work with clients outside of California?
Yes — the majority of our clients are located outside of California. We’re based in Laguna Beach, but we serve businesses nationwide. Everything is handled remotely with no loss of quality or communication. We’ve worked with clients from coast to coast for over 20 years.
