Jake's is more Kick-Ass than us. We know it. That's why we're especially thrilled that they chose us as their graphics team. They're opening up on the 15th of October, which is great because the Ketchup needs a haircut! (And a PBR)
Great product and uber-cool staff! We'll be handling all future design for PetHub™. (And some copy writing!)
Just published! Check it out and plan on spending about an hour there. Eric Spitznagel's Web Site!
Have an event coming up? Maybe a show at the SHAKEDOWN, or a Fundraiser at the Radio Museum? We can help!

You’re a New Business – You need to get your act together quick. (We know. We’ve been there, and we’ve helped others.) You need a brand, a voice, a look, a feel, and a personality. You need a logo, a business card, a sign for your store, a web site, a print ad, a press-release, and a grand opening invitation….deep breath……… and you need it to all look like they belong together. Yes! We love new businesses!
You Need a New Ad Campaign – What you have just isn’t working. With your limited staff you’ve exhausted all the good ideas you can harvest from them and their friends and family and now you need a new perspective. Give us a try! We have a unique ability to see your business from the outside. (While that ability isn’t really unique considering anyone who looks at your business from the outside has that same ability, we are able to translate that perspective into an effective campaign to invigorate new interest.) Our copywriting style is friendly, fun, and ultra clever.
You Have This Great New Product…… – Stop there! We believe that your product will revolutionize the world, but it won’t get very far without an effective approach to the packaging artwork/container/and display set. We are packaging pros. Whether you’re pedaling a pedal, or a petal, we will help you get that product out of your warehouse and into the hands (or feet) of those who desperately need it.
You Need a Web Site - Seriously, you need one. If you don’t have one, you need one. While we don’t fool around with hefty E-commerce sites, we do create highly effective and easily editable sites for every day businesses. Lawyers, Restaurants, Massage Therapists, Veterinarians, General Contractors, Salons, Night Clubs, Non-Profits, more! What do we do that a web host can’t provide? We design the site to match your business/personality.

what we do best
PRODUCT PACKAGINGWe know that you want the best of the best package design for your retail product, but we also know that maintaining a key retail price point is just as important. We can help you find the perfect compromise between affordable packaging materials and amazing, eye-catching, effective design.
One of our main considerations when designing new product packaging is conservation. We work to provide a reasonable amount of information to consumers while using the smallest amount of raw materials. Ask us about how we’re working to make the world a better place to shop.
PRINT DESIGNOur print design services include nearly everything you can imagine. Whether you’re looking for a quick ad, an entire catalog, or a roadside banner, we can help. We are Adobe Creative Suite Pro’s dedicated to providing you with print layouts that not only offer useful information to the viewer, but (more importantly) gets them to look at it first. So many print ads are missed because they’re simply not eye catching enough. We can help you get noticed.
We have great relationships with many local (as well as not-so-local) print providers, who can handle amazingly fast returns on beautifully produced finished products.
WEB DESIGNIf you have a local business and you think you can survive without a professionally designed web site, you’re probably right. BUT,….you’re missing out on a HUGE opportunity. Let us create an awesome web site for your business that is easy to navigate, instantly informative, and fun to look at.
All of the websites we design include a Content Management System that allows YOU to add/subtract/edit all the information on your site. No need to contact us unless you need some friendly advice, or would rather have us take care of a change for you.
We host all of our sites locally so that we have more control over the server if any issues arise, and we’ll happily walk you through the first couple of updates to make sure you’re confident before taking the reigns.
LOGO DESIGNAnybody can design a logo. It’s true. We’re not afraid to say it, and while design of a logo isn’t always the main ingredient for a successful product or business, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure it’s the best it can be from the get-go.
We are logo design professionals. Why can we state this claim?
1. We’ve created effective logos for many businesses, and have refreshed some logos to meet current design trends/standards.
2. We have have the resources/equipment necessary to provide you or any print/web vendor with the highest quality files available. We can guarantee that your logo will be presented to your audience in the best way possible.
3. We are color specialists. We know the color palettes that work with your audience. Let us put that knowledge to work on your behalf.
4. We aren’t that expensive. Seriously, you may be amazed. Try us.
a little bit of everything
the wizards behind the curtain
Ketchup + Mustard is a Pacific NW based Print, Package and Web design duo. We make things look good. You may see us out an about in downtown Bellingham, checking out a show at SHAKEDOWN, The Ridge, The Green Frog, etc. or you might see us sweating our asses off at Bellingham Extreme Fitness. When we’re not being social we’re hanging out in our hot tub (to rest our X-Fit muscles) or walking our pups.
Okay, okay, we’ll be a bit more specific.
> The Ketchup.Brian Seales makes up the ketchup portion of the design team. Why do I get to be the ketchup? Because that’s the part I decided to be. Who do I think I am? (That’s an easier question to answer.) I am a sarcastic, energetic, musical (sometimes), friendly, up-for-anything, no-good, do-gooder!
Fun Fact: Brian first went to school as a Professional Golf Management student. He later decided that Golf Course Management was dumb and started focusing on Industrial Design.
The Mustard. <Shannon Larkin is the mustard. She’s the voice of reason, the out-of-the-box thinker, and the tugging force that reels Brian in from his sometimes high-flying design samples.
You’ll probably be seeing a bit more of Shannon around town in the next couple of months. She’s a social butterfly.

things we just gotta get off our chest
Like any office in any home, we have a ton of little parts and pieces that would have no benefit to us if they were floating around in a box, or just scattered about the desk. Shannon “Mustard” came up with a genius free alternative to clutter with this organizational tube setup within one of [...]
