ATTENTION: The Design Studio is closed until further notice! Thank you for all the great projects over the years.  The time has come for me to let go of the mouse and pick up my paintbrush.

On many days, ITAV seems more like a high-functioning graphic design studio than an ordinary record label.  ITAV founder Peter Richards steadily churns out fliers, web-ready graphics/website backgrounds, photo-illustrations, CD packages and vinyl LP designs for local and national bands, along with the occasional T-shirt or sticker design.  ITAV's guiding principles are strong color sense, readability, and visual magnetism.  Our focus is music, but our clients include small businesses, fine artists, progressive social and environmental causes, film, and theatrical productions.

Below are some examples from the ITAV design studio.  Peter is available for commissions of any size, via this contact link.  ITAV does not do spec work.  Please allow adequate time for your project.

Nearly everything ITAV releases is designed by Peter.  He's designed CD and/or vinyl LP layouts for artists such as Joshua Davis, Chris Dorman, Medicine Crow, Narc Out The Reds, Pete Robbins, Small Houses, The Sights, Steppin' In It, Jen Sygit, Josh David & The Dream Jeans, and Sunil Sawani.  You can see many more gig fliers he's designed on gigposters.com

I'm more than happy to share additional design samples with you.  One of the beautiful things about the internet is that I can work for anyone, anywhere.  I designed fliers for the Detroit band Stare Into The Sun for over two years before I met them in person!
