About Me

We are Art and we are Music. Thrill factory Designs is a small independent freelance company based out of Waukesha Wisconsin. I take on small and large projects in a variety of different mediums. I use music mixed in with the art to create one of a kid pieces. Thrill Factory works with bands/solo artists, clients etc... I love working with bands I have a great amount of knowledge of the music industry and how to make YOUR band's logo/graphic look great! I have a strong passion for the music and everything that surrounds it, so I guarentee that you'll see work that we pour our hearts and souls in.I (Mike Justman) have achieved my Associates Degree in Graphic Design and my Bachelors degree in Graphic Communication: Emphasis Design with a Minor in Art. I am also an avid musican. As a fellow musician, I want to leave you something that I could be proud of as an image for a band.When we get high volumes of bands or clients rolling through, my brother and wife help take on some things. My brother is also a graphic designer and my wife is an amazing photographer. She's not just some girl who takes cute pictures, she actually works at a high end photography studio.I can design an entire album, an E.P,t-shirt logos, sticker designs..whatever your request is. HOWEVER I won't mass produce them. I simply design the logo for the band merch. I don't have access to any massive printers, and I don't have a large warehouse with space either so what I can do is give you the design to shop around for a great printing place. If all you want are some stickers (under 100) I may print them at my place. I have worked with: The Gutterballs (California) Smile Thru This (Milwaukee) Toxic Pussy (Milwaukee) The Flanagans (Waukesha) MaryKelly/Smiling Knives (Waukesha) and Underground Aviator(Waukesha/Milwaukee) Today We Fly (Milwaukee) and Third Eye Blind (San Francisco)Prices are decided by how much you can afford to pay me. If you want to set up a press kit, I can work with you and/or your band as well. more rates are in a blog.HOWEVER, if it's a small job, I may be able to do it for free. I understand the lack of money bands sometimes have, so we can work something out.UPDATE! We are also doing portraits and photography so if you need any pictures taken of you or your band for your press kit, we'll be happy to do it and can work out a price. If you'd like a special pencil portrait drawn of you or a loved one, I can do that as well.
I made my layout with the Myspace Background Maker . Get myspace layouts , graphics , and flash toys at pYzam .
