“Good Design is Good Business” – Thomas Watson Jr.
People are asking: “Brenda, why are you telling your secrets?”
Two reasons:
- I see poor DIY design is EVERYWHERE and get so frustrated, because I know that companies are missing out on leads, sales and revenue opportunities because of it.
- In full transparency, my hope is that even though you are going to be a ROCKSTAR in knowing the basics after this class, you will acknowledge that some of the your complex design projects should be contracted out in order to give your company the best opportunity for growth and visibility. My target market isn’t the DIY’ers… it’s business managers and owners that don’t have the time and energy to learn what I will be teaching!

Deanna D.
I hired Visual Resolve Graphics to design a new visual brand for my consulting firm. Initially I was looking for someone to just design a new logo, but Visual Resolve also designed all of my trade show displays, brochures, and handouts. What a difference it made when I set everything up for my first tradeshow!
With their website development services along with support for annual reports and catalogues, my Red Deer based business is polished, professional, and always putting its best face forward.
Not sure what direction to take with your business and/or your visual brand? Talk to Brenda as she is an amazing coach; she’ll guide you through the process and you’ll come out the other side with a beautiful new brand. When I first called I felt like I didn’t even know what I was asking for. Brenda’s enthusiasm for what she does coupled with her ability to understand the stumbling blocks business owners face made for a successful and enjoyable
Murray F.
“It has been said that people who are really good at what they do make it look easy. Brenda Kolasa of Visual Resolve Graphics is one of those people. I honestly believe that she is one of the best graphic designers working in the business today – bar none. Brenda is professional, accommodating, and damn good at what she does! Writers love to read and I own a truckload of books. I wouldn’t trade the cover Brenda designed for my new book Extreme Esteem – The Four Factors for anything in my library. What does that tell you? The best in the industry lives right here in Red Deer, Alberta. Thanks Brenda – you have my highest recommendation. When nothing but the best will do, you want Brenda.”
