The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. Artistotle

Welcome to the design studio of Cynthia C. Smith, located in Manchester, Connecticut. I offer graphic design, photography, web design and writing services. Using Adobe and Macromedia software helps me to achieve unique and compelling results.

This website illuminates my perspective on art and design. Mixing exquisite simplicity with understated elegance is incorporated into each facet of my work. Art and design are my passions.

The purpose of design is to evoke an emotion that sometimes impels you to gaze, to think or to act. A good design expresses its intent simply and clearly, engaging the audience. Creativity and beauty adorn the design, giving it eye appeal and enhancing the idea the design expresses.

I listen to my client’s ideas and goals, and then translate them into a cohesive effective communication. I promise that you and your project will benefit from the passion I put into my work.

Please contact me to see if your design needs are a fit with my capabilities. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can help you find a solution to your design need.

This website will evolve over time as I continue to grow as an artist and as new pieces are added to my portfolio. Venture onward. See my passion reflected in my work. Learn more about my work and me.
