About PostBaroque:
We offer customized information design as a ready-made service. Some businesses or organizations may not find it economically viable to maintain an in house design department, yet you wish to display information about your product, event, or idea in a customized manner. On the other hand, when you reach to outside designers, you find that your choices are either uninspired, generic designs or risky adventures with a designer whose work not assuredly amenable to your organization's image.
Our solution is a hybrid of these techniques. Rather than hire someone who is unfamiliar with your work or have your own organization bogged down in the details, we offer designs that are ready to use, allowing you to choose from imagery that best suits your needs. By seeing the images in advance, you have the advantage of the security of satisfaction; equally important is the fact that the image will not be sold to another customer, assuring the individuality of your image.
Postcards are one of the simplest and most effective method for spreading your idea. The turnaround time is short, and the methods of disseminating the message are varied.
Rather than be passed over like a magazine or newspaper ad, a postcard bearing an intriguing image will be placed on the refrigerator, an office cubicle, or mailed to a friend. The value of the variety of people who will see the card is matched only by its longevity through reuse.
The name “Post-Baroque” signals that we have come through the malaise of recontextualization brought about by enlightenment; we have surpassed the rudderless hysteria left in its wake. Our response to the rabid excess of this period is an institution of rigour and deliberation. The severity of this approach does not lead to sparsity, however, for our reaction is not the simplistic establishment of an antipode to the floridty of the late unpleasantness; in fact, we still carry its traces, its scars, its genes, in the work, which is left stark, yet not bare — like the words of Abraham Lincoln, “with the bark on.”
