Claytowne Clients - Graphic Design Portfolio and Web Design Portfolio Featuring Examples and Samples of Branding and Identity and Illustration Projects
A Note From Clay
Most of my clients are located hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from my office. We work through e-mail and phone and I deliver finished artwork through FTP, FedEx or snail mail. With over fifteen years experience working over long distances, I know how to make a client feel comfortable as well as meet their needs despite the lack of face-to-face contact.
Clients such as The
Discovery Channel and Playboy
Magazine have enjoyed my attention to detail, prompt response to
changes and requests, unmatched turnaround times, and quality of deliverables.
You can be confident that your project will receive the same high level
of service that other clients have been enjoying for years.
Client Testimonials
Discovery Channel
Clay's boards really brought our campaign to life!
We gave Clay a few rough scripts, some vague character descriptions, and a super tight deadline and he produced a series of boards that really told a story in an impactful and dramatic way.

Director of On-Air Creative, The Discovery Channel
Gourme Mist
Product Packaging Design, Website Design and Search Engine Optimization
Clay has been a key part of our business taking off. Everyone compliments us on our product's packaging! Clay's artwork has made us stand out from the rest. We even won the Best Packaging Award, out a field of 250 entrants, at the Natural Products Expo East 2008! And as far as our website, Clay's attention to detail and quick turnaround time has been amazing.

Do-Goodie
Clay designed my brand, Do-Goodie for Greyston. The best I say about Clay was that he didn't merely turn out a visual design. Clay sought to understand what we wanted conveyed. I felt heard by him and that was manifested in the design. Not only did he hear me and give me what I asked for, in addition, Clay gave precise feedback on where I should shift my thinking or direction without trying to make me think I was an idiot. This is a lost art. I will work with Clay again and you should too.

Titan Support Systems
Product Logo Designs, Website Design, Search Engine Optimization, and Full Page Ads
By 2007 my company was recognized as an industry leader in the world of international powerlifting. This was based on the strength of our product performances and their dominance on the lifting platform. However, our advertising and marketing was badly outdated. It was allowing opportunity for competitors to use better advertising to blur reality and affect product perception.
As a result we began a search for an advertising and marketing company. We specifically looked for a company that could create an advertising and marketing campaign that would put our company name at the forefront of the sport - not just on the platform but in the media as well. After an extensive search, we found Claytowne Graphics. We looked over many of the advertisements created by Claytowne and were immediately struck by the powerful graphics and the clear, concise advertising copy and messages.
It's now going on one year since we started using Claytowne Graphics. Our advertisements are graphically stunning with clear, strong ad copy and are among the best in our industry. Magazine editors have actually held the presses to include a Claytowne advertisement at the last minute. The marketing advice has been great and helped us to better focus our efforts. Our product line is also benefitting from a face lift that includes creation of strong product logos for every product and custom labeling.
Then there is the service. We get honest and sound marketing advice. Oftentimes, we forget that Claytowne is located thousands of miles from us as they are always there for us. The service is professional and courteous and it's all conducted in a manner that has us viewing Claytowne more as a partner than a vendor.
With Claytowne behind us, we confidently look to the future even in these tough economic times.

Clay Butler is one of the most creative and organized illustrators
I have ever met. I was able to work really well with Clay. We generated
ideas for light-hearted illustrations that depict how to safely learn
to use a manual or powered wheelchair. He was very respectful of my
time and came through with the end product in a timely manner. He also
created "Dot" hiking characters that have given our trails
accessibility work a common theme. We use the "Dot" characters
throughout our trails work.

For Your Journey
Website Design, Search Engine Optimization, Logo and Branding
After reviewing several graphic artist website's I had found in the online yellow pages with unsatisfactory results, I did a simple internet search. Claytowne.com was within the top three that came up in the search. Immediately upon entering the site, I was struck by several positive aspects. It was colorful, very informative with a nice portfolio of work, as well as was extremely easy to navigate around in. From the artwork examples and the website layout examples, I knew that Clay would be able to deliver the type of branding I wanted for my new business. However, I had no idea how responsive he would be to my needs.
Clay called me the very next day after I had e-mailed him the night before. He explained to me in detail how to best optimize my website and also asked good questions in order to get an idea of how I intended to represent my business. By the next day, he had a beautiful possible logo for me as well as a variety of looks to choose from. We then worked a bit more to finalize the logo. Meanwhile, he also sent me an example of the website idea he came up with. It was beautiful!
Working with Clay has been a pleasure. He is so responsive, flexible and patient with all of my needs. Since finalizing the initial site, I have gotten tons of positive feedback from my friends and family that I attribute directly to Clay’s creative ability. They have made special reference to the look of the site, by saying “I love your logo and color theme”, “very nice and professional” as well as that it is “beautiful”, “impressive”, “awesome”, “inviting“ and “Wow!”. I look forward to working with Clay in the future as my business grows and as more information is needed on my website. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in creating top quality branding for their business as well as in getting the best customer service ever.
Sincerely,
Donna Lopez

Clay, thanks for putting together a beautiful and professional looking cd. Your artwork is just perfect for the project. You were patient with my may revisions and also had the balls to disagree with me on some design decisions and you were of course right. Hope to talk to you soon for a new project.
Cheers!

Yours truly,

Logo Design, Business Marketing Consulting
It was time for my business to finally get a logo - Luckily, Clay's website was the first one I found. I gave him a call - we brainstormed some loose concepts over the phone - then a few days later he emailed me his draft logos. He nailed it!I was so happy when I opened the files - conceptually and aesthetically - one of the logos was perfect. After a few minor refinements, the logo was complete.
Clay was so easy to work with, and his ability to turn concepts into product is incredible.I also appreciate all of the helpful hints and tips he has shared with me in regard to print material, web design, and search engine optimization. He really is a wealth of knowledge!

From the moment I chose Clay for my project, I knew I’d made the right choice. He answered my email with a return phone call within minutes, and throughout the project he was very responsive and accommodating with my deadlines and requests. But the thing that makes Clay the ‘right man for the job,’ is the fact that he is a TRUE ARTIST, not just a graphics designer. He can actually draw! And incorporating his “old-school” talents, with his cutting edge technological saavy, he is simply the best in the area at what he does!
