Chicago Graphic Design Work
Visual identities built to be recognized, remembered and used consistently across every touchpoint.
Northwestern Medill – A Visual Identity Worthy Of A Century-Old School
Next to peers like Columbia, USC and NYU, this Evanston journalism school’s visuals didn’t reflect a century of standing in the field.
Our designers built an elevated visual language of imagery, color and layout, anchored by a homepage that celebrates 104 years, 5 campuses and 18,000 alumni.
Every program, from undergraduate journalism to executive education, now shares one recognizable look while speaking to its own audience.

Step-by-Step
Our Graphic Design Process
Our years of experience helped us shape our tried-and-tested web design process.
-
01DiscoveryWe begin our partnership with a meet and greet. Through onboarding calls, our experts will understand your project, challenges and goals.
-

That is why our graphic design agency in Chicago designs logos that are clear, memorable, and built to help brands stand out in a crowded market. -
03Brand BookAfter the logo is finalized, our team puts together a detailed brand book to help keep your brand consistent across every channel and touchpoint.

Chicago Graphic Design FAQs
Does Digital Silk provide other services, on top of graphic design?
As a graphic design serving Chicago businesses, we provide digital solutions under one roof:
Our key services include custom web design, custom web development, eCommerce development, digital marketing and brand strategy.
Contact us today to tell us about your project begin your next digital project.
Can you design for Chicago trade shows?
Yes. With McCormick Place hosting some of the country’s largest trade shows, a booth often gets more first impressions in a few days than your website gets in a month.
We design booth graphics, banners, giveaways and handouts that match the rest of your brand, so people recognize you when they visit your site after the show.
Do you work with manufacturers and B2B companies?
Yes, and it’s a big part of our work. Chicago is home to many food, industrial and B2B brands.
B2B design has to explain complex products clearly while still looking premium, and that’s where good design earns its keep.
What is your graphic design process?
It starts with discovery, where we learn about your business, audience and goals. Then we design your logo, build a brand book that sets the rules for colors, typography and imagery, and apply it to print pieces and your website.
You’ll see work at every stage and give feedback before anything is finalized.
Do I have to be in Chicago to work with you?
No. We work with businesses in Chicago and across the U.S. Onboarding calls, reviews and feedback happen online, so the process is the same wherever you’re based.
Do you use templates for logos or brand materials?
No. Every logo, brand book and layout starts from a blank page and is built around your company and your customers.
When it helps on digital projects, we pull from our own library of tested components, which leaves more budget for the parts that set you apart.
Who owns the final design files?
It’s yours. After final payment, the source files, approved artwork and brand assets are handed over to your team.
Licensed fonts and stock images keep their own license terms, separate from the work we create for you.
What if we don’t like the first concepts?
We revisit the brief together, pinpoint what didn’t land and redirect the work, rather than defending the original idea.
This happens on only a small share of projects, and early, honest feedback is what keeps it quick to fix.
Can you design for both print and digital?
Yes. The same team designs business cards, brochures, packaging, trade show graphics and websites, so every piece follows one set of brand rules.
Your brand book defines how colors, typography and imagery adapt from a printed handout to a mobile screen.
How do we hand off designs to our team or printer?
You get final files in the formats your printer, web team and marketers need, along with the brand book that explains how to use them.
If your team will manage the assets in-house, we walk them through the files and guidelines before the project closes.
