about the
R. VON ZIMMER DESIGN APPROACH
VALUE
Design should add value — The purpose of design is to add value to the needs of the client. The tasks and intent should all be reflected in the design from the obvious big picture down to the tiny details.
SIMPLICITY
Perfection comes with simplicity — Reducing clutter and eliminating unnecessary elements enhances the target audience experience by emphasizing the most important aspects of the message for the intended audience.
CONSISTENCY
Design should be consistent. Consistency should be seen throughout the design, following the rules of the real world conventions. Being consistent in design creates a solid and lasting image in users.
R. von Zimmer Design is an independent graphic design and multimedia studio run by Richard von Zimmer. Clients range from from individuals, start-up businesses to associations and established international companies. With an 18 year career as a professional graphic designer I've worked on a wide range projects in a diverse set of industries. I currently reside in the Washington, DC area. My goal is to provide clients with design firm quality without charging exorbitant design firm prices!
BROCHURES & BOOKS
I believe in a strong balance between form & content and strive to develop innovative concepts perfectly suited to your specific needs. I understand the importance of an accessible, inviting, and carefully considered presentation for maximum reader enjoyment.
IDENTITY
From logos to overall brand identities, every project deserves an innovative, creative design matched with a strong concept to reflect the key points you want to communicate, Working closely with you throughout the design process, together we ensure the end result is a design that you'll be proud of.
WEB DESIGN
With many years of experience I adapt my designs to both fit contemporary markets, and also stay abreast of trends in order to consistently produce innovative, original websites. My layouts and user interfaces are carefully crafted for each client and developed into highly usable websites perfectly tailored to your requirements and goals.

I don’t know how to say, simply, that this brochure is gorgeous and reflects the most beautiful work I have seen in a long time except to say it as simply as that.
