ORIGINS OF THE NAME
Shinju Tako ?
I've always been fascinated by the land of the rising sun, so I had to choose a Japanese-sounding name to reflect this attraction.
After all, you have to have a little fun !
The pearl (Shinju), an indisputable symbol of femininity, represents tenderness, elegance and softness thanks to its pearlescent reflections.
Part of Japanese folklore, agile, graceful and intelligent, the octopus (Tako) represents, quite accurately, what a freelance graphic designer should be.
At Shinju Tako, we have combined these two elements to bring you a unique and refined graphic solution.
Eight arms and nine brains - that's exactly what you need to wear the hats of company director, graphic designer, sales manager, accountant, quality manager, etc. all at the same time.
A few words about me
I'm Agnès PASDELOUP, a 33-year-old freelance graphic designer with a passion for beautiful encounters and the stories that come out of them.
With five years' professional experience as an events project manager in large-format digital printing, I know the constraints and language of the print industry and how to prepare clean files for printing.
Infinitely curious, I know how to get out of my comfort zone. That's how I learnt a new trade by exploring the world of exceptional transport for almost six years, first as a sales representative, then as a quality manager and finally as a key accounts and marketing manager, before returning to my first passion and starting my own business.
Always on the lookout for the smallest detail, I know how to translate your world into a strong brand image that reflects your vision and your identity.
I'm ready to take on any creative challenge that comes my way. Whether it's creating logos or communication materials, I'm committed to providing you with high-quality work, paying particular attention to your specific needs.
You can rely on my creativity and professionalism to bring your projects to life and make you stand out from the crowd with a unique brand identity!
I agree that it's always difficult to select a service provider.
‘What criteria will I use? Price? Quality?"
But in the end, isn't it mainly a question of reliability and feeling?
If that's what I'm looking for, you probably are too!
If we work together, I'll be your privileged interlocutor for the entire project.
From administrative management to creative realisation, I'll be your sole point of contact.
So it's essential that you can trust me to be at ease during the creative process. I'll always be ready to listen, with a smile, of course! :)
Why pick me for your project
Responsiveness: I make it a point of honour to get back to you quickly - AB-SO-LUTE priority! By phone, email or SMS.
Affordable rates: I offer you a complete and personalised package with prices that are affordable to suit your needs.
Satisfaction: My aim is to provide you with a service that exceeds your expectations! Any necessary changes are always included to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Flexibility: I'm available when you need me.
Respect for deadlines: Because your company needs to be immediately visible, I'm committed to delivering your project on time.
I start by working on a good old sketchbook, because nothing can replace the freedom of movement of hand and pencil on paper.
Then, of course, I use my Mac and my XP-PEN graphics tablet with the Adobe CC suite so that I'm always up to date and can offer you a CLEAN project!

So, how does it work ?
1 - The basis of any successful exchange is listening. It's essential to understand who you are and what your needs are. I take the time to come and meet you. On the phone, by video or over a coffee (I'm based in Toulouse). Together we define your expectations and the framework of your project. On the basis of the information we've exchanged, I'll draw up a detailed brief outlining the service you're looking for, including a commercial offer.
2 - Once the quote has been approved, the creative work can begin! I carry out an analysis of trends in your business sector and use the results of this research to create a mood board that will serve as a reference for the rest of the process. I edit the mock-ups and send them to you. Based on your feedback, changes are made until you approve the finished project.
3 - I deliver the finished project in digital format and provide you with the materials specific to the offer selected. If necessary, I will supervise the printing and arrange delivery of the communication media.
