Tony Alongi Design

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!

A self-proclaimed computer nerd since three, I discovered my knack for graphic design early on. Since I did not have a program like Adobe Illustrator at the time, I made do with Microsoft PowerPoint or MS Paint to make brochures and airline route maps (for fun, I might add). While in high school I worked on a number of graphic design projects, some of which were presented in the FBLA Student Leadership Conference of 2006.

I applied to NAU in 2007 to major in Visual Communications in order to fine-tune my artistic style and web abilities. I then acquired Adobe Creative Suite software, and that's when the fun really began. For four years, my artistic style was honed and perfected by a combination of the desire for self-improvement and the artistic shrewdness of my teachers.

It was in 2010 that I decided to take my talents on the road, and thus was born Tony Alongi Design. Since then, I have performed services for a wide variety of clients, from guitar stores and bands, to law firms and magazine production. If you are looking for a versatile graphic artist or web designer, I've got services that will suit your needs.

MY PORTFOLIO

As an artist and designer, I offer a wide variety of services to suit any need. Need a slick logo redesign? I can do that. How about a new website? I can do that too. Starting a new company and need a whole new identity system? Yes, I can do that too! And that's just for starters; I also do album artwork design, basic video editing, basic Flash animation, and even photography! But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out my portfolio and let my art do the talking. Keep checking back for more examples!
