Note from Armchair Interview's co-founders Connie and Andrea:
The greatest things about Paul and Alan are that they:
- Really know what they are doing, but don't treat us like dummies.
- Listened and understood our business and then captured how we wanted our message and image to impact others.
- They are patient and flexible, much needed for Internet newbies like us.
We asked them to become our third partners and to care about what we are doing as much as we do. Perfect partners.
If you reacted like we did when we saw both our logo design by Alan Pranke and our Web site design by Paul Larson, you will understand why we are so thrilled to have these impressive men as part of our team.

Creative Arc was founded on the campus of Purdue University in 2003. It is a multi-disciplinary graphic design, web development, and software development business with an emphasis in creating accessible, standards-based Web Sites.
The challenge of new projects is always a thrill for Paul, and his exhaustive attention-to-detail creates Web sites that are not only visually stunning, but functional as well. He loves hearing the client's ideas and won't begin a site design until he has a thorough understanding of the audience and objectives of the project.
Paul has worked closely with Armchair Interviews to establish our e-mail and Web presence. He has had a crash course in the specific manner of Internet marketing that we wanted. He also understands the craziness of search engine optimization and all those other buzzwords. Lucky us.
From domain name registration, hosting, graphic design to programming, Creative Arc does it all. Whether your vision is for a small informational site or large, complex, data-driven web projects, Creative Arc will make it happen efficiently and economically.
So if you need a Web site that says, "Look at me, look at me," please contact Paul. We're glad we did!

Alan is an award-winning graphic designer with 10 years experience. He is proficient in a variety of design disciplines: packaging, corporate identity, publishing, advertising collateral and web design. Alan is a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science degree in Design Communications and a Minor in Art History.
In addition to designing for diverse clients, both large companies and small, Alan has taught design to adult vocational students, and his skills have earned him many teaching awards.
We were privileged to work with Alan. He took our earliest ideas about how Armchair Interviews should look - and made it real. The soft armchair and the colors he selected say comfort and peace. He was so right and our logo is perfect.
Everyone who listens to our Armchair Interviews in their favorite armchair should know that YOU are in the spotlight Alan placed around our very own armchair.

When we read, we need to get an image in our mind's eye of what the characters and location really look like. ĂSSo what does Armchair Interviews look like? ĂSMike Bollinger, is the talented photographer who captured what we thought (but had not expressed) Armchair Interviews was all about. ĂSThe wonderful comfy chair, the leather bound books and the reading glasses all say, "Sit down, rest awhile and get into a really good book" (or a good Armchair Interview)!
Congratulations to Mike Bollinger, founder of Lightscape Studios, helps businesses differentiate themselves on the web by providing custom, professional digital photography for the same price as the generic "stock" photography used by most organizations.
WOW, Mike. You batted 1000 for us. Thanks.
