Silent Fright design is a small scale design business that is located in Orlando, FL. I have been designing for primarily the music and apparel industry for 7 years, providing high quality design for my clients. My goal is to provide design services at a competitive rate to musicians and small businesses that have a tight budget and who's industry has little options.
Its difficult to find high quality design work to fit a musicians budget, usually there are few options. Expensive design firms, cheap templates (that looks like every other band's merch) or a "friend" who does it for free. Either way you dont get what you want or you become broke. At Silent Fright I work diligently to create a resource that makes sense for the music scene that's local, regional or national.
My background...
I have a Bachelor's degree in Illustration and many years of experience working in the design industry. Since I was a teenager I have been going to shows and being involved in the music scene in Syracuse NY. After moving down to Florida I began to learn how diverse the pool of music talent was in the South East.
Back in 2004 I was living with a friend who converted his bedroom into a recording studio. One of the bands asked me to make some shirts for their upcoming show and create their album art. From then on designing for bands had its hold on me. I learned from my mistakes, successes and failures. Seven years later, I have designed for a multitude of clients and even picked up a few more tricks along the way. My style is a bit more dark and edgey, so it is no surprise that I have focused on the Rock and Metal scene in music. I have developed and produced work for a range of bands from not only the local scene but all over the United States and a few clients internationally.
