We produce advertising and corporate communications copy for print ads TV and radio commercials brochures and press releases. We work with fantastic award-winning copywriters–and were not half bad writers ourselves.
Our first client was a magazine so long documents such as books catalogs directories newsletters and magazines are second nature to us. We have created an annual 65+ page business directory for Inland Northwest Business Alliance course catalogs and hardbound books.
We design with a marketing point of view a quality we inherited from our advertising background. Graphic design projects include logos stationery packages brochures posters banners arena and airport dioramas building and corporate signage–if we havent listed the design project youre looking for–ask us–weve probably worked on one in the past.

Our talented designer is also a fantastic illustrator who draws by hand with pen and ink then adding color and finishing using techniques with digital software. Photo collage compositions are also a snap! View our portfolio here.
Website design has become second nature to our print design. We build all of our websites with WordPress and call in a programmer to help when needed. WordPress makes websites affordable for a majority of our clients. View our web projects here.
We handle all aspects of your project to deliver it on time and on budget. We create timelines and due dates; purchase printing and coordinate your project with them; manage web programmers and other creative contractors such as photographers illustrators and video production companies.
We take the mystery out of where your advertising should be placed. If you dont have an advertising media budget we can develop one for you. We will reserve your ad space and make sure your art files are sent to the media publication on time.
The advantage of using Thinking Cap to buy your media is that we will check that each ad runs on the right date and the print quality is acceptable. If the print quality or run date is not correct we advocate for a media ’make good’ for you. Instead of multiple invoices from multiple media publications youll receive one invoice from us with a listing of your monthly ad insertions ad size and cost.
