welcome to totalpanicdesign

The creative repository, technological showcase, blog home, freelance firm, and Web 2.0 hub of graphic designer, photographer, writer, and experience junkie Derek Winston Fidler.

personality is our biggest asset

We aren't just another graphic design firm trying to make a name, we're a whole new way of looking at the world. We focus on doing things differently and bringing multiple experiences and viewpoints to each and every project to create something completely unique and interesting.

a blend of modern and classic

We draw influences from all over the world in every time period - Bauhaus, Mission, Anglo-Francophile, Art Nouveau, Zen, Cubist, Minimalist, Modern, Swiss, Organic - putting it all together to make something completely new. Design demands flexibility and we aren't shy about trying new things.

bringing people together

We view the business world in simple terms - people helping people. We love rooting for the little guy and aggresively hunt out the best and brightest small businesses that we think will go far. Sure it may not be the most profitable or efficient business plan, but we'd rather have more friends than clients and more memories than money.

the introductory recession rate

While we're still in the startup stage, and with the economy in the gutter, we're currently charging an introductory freelance rate that you won't want to miss out on. Think 50-75% off competitive rates for your graphic design projects, no joke! Our heart goes out to the little guys and we know how tough it is right now.
