Testimonials:
Here at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central PA, we are continually overwhelmed by the unparalleled graphic design of Bill Dussinger. We have worked with Bill for over ten years and each year we are “wowed” all over again. Bill creates the most creative and colorful designs for posters, invitations, and you name it! Bill turns his ingenious ideas into eye catching and innovative materials. We have been so thrilled with his talents in creating just the perfect design to present our special events in the local community. I would recommend Bill to any organization who would like to deal with a truly gifted professional in a timely manner.

I have had the privilege of working with Bill Dussinger for over 8 years. His incredible talent is evident in the countless innovative designs he has produced for us over the years. From corporate logos to original illustrations to complete graphical website interfaces, Bill’s innate ability to capture a particular mood or convey a message is simply astounding. He constantly exceeds expectations and never misses our often demanding turn-around times. Bill is one of the best in the business.

Bill Dussinger is the most amazingly creative artist I’ve ever met! He has created everything for us...from a simple logo, through animations, Flash screens, advertisements (online and print), all the way up to full brochures. Everything is the highest quality, and the positive comments never stop. Bill can take the most obscure request and create exactly what I had pictured -- quickly and affordably. I’ve happily referred him to many others in need of graphic services, and now, I can heartily endorse him here. He’s the best of the best, and I can’t imagine ever working with anyone else.

The design of the “coffee cup” logo for the restaurant was amazing. But, the process of interpretation was even more so. Thanks for being an invaluable resource for me and my clients. It really has been fun working with you on diverse projects. We have come to think of you as a part of our creative staff. Thanks for your continued support!

As an independent (musical) artist and record label owner... I am always pushing for new visual images to represent our artists and our company. Bottom line... nobody delivers faster than Bill Dussinger. Cutting edge web site design, outstanding CD and DVD graphics, plus incredible prints, posters and tee shirts! But there is more to it than just graphics going on here... Bill is fun to work with. There’s never a problem when it come’s to making changes and Bill’s always open to trying something new.
