Gustavo Woltmann

Gustavo Woltmann is the founder of Gustavo Woltmann Web Studio. He has spent his career helping businesses communicate visually, first in advertising and now at the head of his own studio, working across print and the web.

Career

Gustavo Woltmann started his career with some of the largest advertising agencies in New York City. There he created everything from simple business cards to complete direct mail packages, and worked on large, multi-page websites for Fortune 500 companies.

That agency background shaped how he works today: a clear brief, a strong idea, careful craft and a deadline that is always met. He founded Gustavo Woltmann Web Studio to bring the same standard of work to companies and organisations of every size.

What Gustavo Woltmann brings to a project

• Experience across media. Gustavo Woltmann understands how print is both similar to and different from web work, and uses the strengths of each.
• A listening approach. Clients describe being taken “from an idea to a great finished product” because he listens to their needs and ideas before putting them into action.
• A fresh point of view. In a crowded field, clients choose Gustavo for ideas that offer a fresh and appealing approach.
• Long-term partnerships. Some clients have worked with Gustavo Woltmann for many years, launching a website together and keeping it current.

How Gustavo Woltmann thinks about design

For Gustavo, design is a way of communicating, not decoration. Shape, line, colour, type, illustration, photography and texture are tools for making a message clear. A logo has to work on a business card and a billboard. A website has to grab a visitor in the first moments and then guide them easily from page to page. A brochure has to earn its place in someone’s hand.

He writes about these ideas in the studio’s articles, including a short history of graphic design and the elements of good design.
