History

Opus 1 was started by two people way back in 1980 something. Officially, the date of incorporation was December 22, 1987. Through the leadership of many strong women over the years, Opus has successfully been not only a firm with a strong conceptual arm, but has also moved into magazine publishing. These two parts of the firm come together to offer more than a normal graphic design firm.

Opus has always been a firm that wanted our clients to know we have a vested interest in their products and messages, we care that they succeed and that the materials we produce become building blocks towards their success.

Over the years our clients and employees have changed but we still strive for those take-your-breath-away designs that project just the message our clients are going for. Our excitement for conceptual design is only outweighed by our strength for technical production. The clean approach of "Information Architecture" makes us not only give our clients a beautifully designed project, but also a project that as you look closer is strong in functionality.
