Istari-WHAT!?!?

 

IstariMedia!  I'm a big fan of "The Lord of the Rings", and Istari is Elvish for "the wizards."  When I first launched in 2003, it was "wizardry in graphic design."  It's become a lot more things since then, but still just as enjoyable!

 

My name is Ryan, and I'm here to serve you.  I've been doing graphic design, web design and multimedia production since 1994, and I absolutely love it.  You won't find too many artists out there who enjoy it more than myself.  There's something to be said for keeping oneself busy, but as the saying goes, "find what you love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life."  I love multimedia production and graphic & website design.  I love preserving memories from audio and video transfer, creating awesome CD's and DVD's for my customers.  I put a lot of passion and enjoyment into my work, and I'm told that resonates with my customers.  I'm confident you'll see it as well.

 

When I was a little boy, I would ask my dad to bring back any electronic equipment he found when he made our family dump run.  I remember assembling a massive amount of old typewriters, push-button devices, gears, switches, computer casings, TV's and what not inside my closet on the shelf.  I would go into my closet and operate my "spaceship."  all of those dead electronic gadgets piloted me through space, and I was the captain.  Well, in my little space now, 30+ years later, I have my spaceship again.  I love operating all of this stuff that's so far from junk - it enables me to help others realize their dreams and create special memories for themselves.  And with IstariMedia, memories just don't get any clearer!  In all the countless videos I've transferred, edited and/or produced, I realize one thing: we're all the same.  We have families, we love people, we celebrate holidays, we see our kids grow up, we laugh as our kids sing their heads off in Christmas choirs, we film weddings, we cherish our loved ones, we love and are loved.  It is such a wonderful thing in a world that gets stranger by the day, to know that the person on the other side of the street isn't all that different from me after all.

 

For me as the artist, the payoff is seeing you, the customer, satisfied.  It's the ultimate reward for me to see you be able to use what I've designed for you; whatever the need, whether for personal, business, organizational, ministerial...I am capable of creating top-quality materials for you to use and enjoy over and over again.  Am I the best there is?  By no means.  The reason I get lots of clients are my prices, my turnaround time, and my positive attitude that all things are possible for you.

 

One of my favorite projects is developing multimedia videos.  You can see examples of several of these by clicking here.  (If you think they look good as an online sample, wait until you see one delivered on a CD-Rom or DVD!!!)   And I've made several other videos of this type, for multiple customers, and they truly deliver.  Whether they pan through personal family pictures set to music to be given as a holiday gift, or whether they're to be transformed into a stunning DVD demo for a business, these products are great.  But don't take my word for it - take my customers' word by clicking here - see what others have to say about IstariMedia!

 

But whatever you need, whether it's website design service, video transfer service (VHS / VHS-C / DVD-Ram / PAL / hi8 / Digital8 / MiniDV conversions to DVD), books to CD recording, CD & DVD disc duplication, cassette, LP or 8-track conversions to CD, graphic design, specialty media services, audio voice-overs, or just simple typesetting, I can do it for you.  I have attention to detail, customer service, and extremely competitive rates...i know you'll be satisfied working with me.  I am privileged to be able to provide such a great service for you, and I want to personally thank you for considering IstariMedia.

 

I look forward to working with you!

 

sincerely,
