Situated at the south end of the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island BC, Silverside Farm & Winery produces blueberries as well as berry wines and fortified (port-style) dessert wines. In addition to fresh berries and produce, they also offer jams, jellies, and syrup made on their farm.

When Silverside approached Hired Guns Creative to redesign their website, Richard's thoughts ran immediately to a dark, lush design that would effectively highlight their products.

Nanaimo-based photographer Sean Fenzl has worked closely with Hired Guns Creative since the beginning of the company. His expertise in product photography - especially the area of glass - was hugely beneficial to both Hired Guns and their clients.

Sean and Richard worked together to create a brand based on Sean's signature. From there, they moved on to a business card design that has turned out to be very successful.

Hired Guns Creative was hired by the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association to create a new brand and a new website for their organization. The Association was flush with new staff, a new board and a new name - they wanted a new image to go along with all of the other changes.

The resulting brand and website have a very modern, urban feeling to them that is in line with the current direction of both the DNBIA and Downtown Nanaimo in general.

The website features an active events calendar, a Member Directory, polls, a customized email newsletter, and more.

The Independent Schools Association of British Columbia came to Hired Guns with two requests: present their organization to the public and help them solve a challenging communications issue.

Tailfeather Graphics was established in 2009 by designer Shelly Stanchuk, who aspired to work closely with the type of clients she had always enjoyed working with; entrepreneurs and small business owners. Shelly approached Hired Guns Creative for a custom website design for her company that would effectively showcase her work and be easy for her to manage.

Mark and Linda Holford had many of the ingredients necessary for a successful small winery: a beautiful new vineyard right on the burgeoning Cobble Hill wine route, the knowledge and experience that comes with being a 3rd generation winemaker, and a very solid portfolio of wines that were starting to win awards. But they were missing a key ingredient: a good brand. But then they happened to cross paths with Hired Guns Creative.
