why work with us?
The entire team at Highland Multimedia (based in Antigonish, Nova Scotia) strive to create sharp designs which carve out noticeable results. From your website to your logo we consistently deliver top notch graphic design and web design to keep your clients engaged.
Smarter Marketing
We use 16 years of experience, actual data taken from your communication assets to craft decisions on where to best focus your branding. The who, what, where and why all allow us to make a better product.
Decision Based
By understanding your products and services and how you deliver value we build the design around decision making information. We work with you to determine what’s most important to your business.
Simpler Designs
Complicated messages just get ignored. Saying that with two words which can be said with one is an exercise in frustration for the very people you want to reach. We keep our designs clean and simple.
Social Strategists
Clients must first hear about you before they can use your products or services. Whether via email, social media, search engines or traditional print campaigns we build promotions that encourage conversation.
KingFreight.com Launched! 🚛✨
A few months ago, we were approached by King Freight Lines Ltd., a trucking company based in Pictou, for a comprehensive website overhaul. From redesigning their logo 🎨 to crafting engaging website copy 📝, capturing stunning on-site staff and drone photography 📸, integrating social media 📱, and providing training and analytics 📊, we delivered a complete solution on time. Our goal was to create a functional and visually appealing website that will support their business growth for the next decade.

This past August, Highland Multimedia celebrated 21 years of service! It’s been an incredible journey helping clients achieve their dreams and goals. Over these years, I’ve continually expanded my skills and expertise to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
We've recently added innovative services such as sticker design, SEO, online ad campaigns, and reformatting annual reports. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of my team over the years. One thing I’ve learned is that success is a team effort – no one can do it all alone. Thank you, team!
Looking ahead, I’m excited about the future and all the possibilities it holds. One thing is for sure: we will always be committed to designing value and fostering growth through effective and genuine relationships. Thank you for your continued support.

Quality design lasts the tests of time... -JSIn 1970, Gary Anderson, then a 23-year-old architecture student at the University of Southern California, designed the iconic recycling logo as part of a contest organized by the Container Corporation of America. This logo, symbolizing the recycling process with its three chasing arrows, quickly became a global symbol of environmental consciousness. Anderson’s design not only marked a significant moment in the environmental movement but also demonstrated the power of simple, clear graphic design to convey a universal message.

We are most happy to help keep the memory and efforts of Irene Macleod strong in the community...In Memory of Irene MacLeod
For a third year, a caring group of Antigonishers have come together to provide meals for those in need as a tribute to Irene MacLeod. Gift cards will be purchased from our local grocery stores to be distributed to those in need by a local non-profit organization, A Roof Over Your Head - AROYH. AROYH supports and advocates for the homeless and precariously housed in Antigonish & Guysborough town and counties.
This year’s initiative is being sponsored by Bellwether Family Wealth, Alva Construction, Ian Tate Plumbing & Heating, and Highland Multimedia.
Irene inspired this act of caring because of the huge impact she had on our community. She gave back to her community both publicly and behind the scenes and was very passionate about the fact that everyone should have a roof over their head and a hot meal, especially at Christmas time.
Antigonish is a better place because of acts like this, thank you to everyone for their support.
// Please note our chapter of the Awesome Foundation is currently in-active but we wanted to help share this message as we had helped fund this initiative a couple years back. ... See MoreSee Less

Irene's Christmas Dinners
Antigonishers have done it again this year and pulled together a caring network of people to offer free Christmas dinners for anyone in need this Dec 23rd or 24th.
How it works is simple, just call Bonnie at (902) 863-4293, at Myers Tea Room by Dec 17th and book your dinner then show up at Myers for pickup before 2pm on the 23rd or no later than 11:45am on the 24th. Please note we cannot offer dine in due to proof of vaccination. If pickup is not possible we do have a limited capacity for deliveries.
This year's initiative is being sponsored by Bellwether Family Wealth, Myers Tea Room, Alva Construction, Napa AutoParts, Ian Tate Plumbing & Heating, Highland Multimedia, Student Taxi and significant contributions by private citizens. If you have any questions about this initiative please speak with Delores Burton at (902)863-9531. Please share this post so word can spread to those who might not otherwise have a Christmas dinner. ... See MoreSee Less

I recently completed a logo job for Ability Solutions - Counselling Therapy and Accessibility Consulting.
This is a company created by Kim MacDonald to provide help to organizations optimize their offerings to those with disabilities and to enhance the skill sets and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
As always a clear idea from the client helps shape a logo but Kim happens to be blind herself so it really gave me pause to examine my own process and how I could convey various choices in a helpful way to match with her vision. As it turns out by being careful to describe the subtle visual elements, like the flat ends on the triskelion, the thickness of the lines, the case used in the words, and lastly the shade of gray there was a comfort and ownership created that gave Kim confidence that what we had developed together was in the direction she was hoping for.
Special thanks to Kim's trusted advisors who also helped shape some of the variations. Please click to view the large version of the flat logo as Facebook has cropped some of the text.

The team at Highland Multimedia would like to thank BL Environmental (formally Bio-Liquid Waste Disposal) for trusting us with the creation of their new logo. It was no small challenge to incorporate aspects of the liquid side of their business with transition of waste water. The insights of Mark and Jeff were critical to find the right mix of elements. A subtle touch that might otherwise be missed is the use of pipe like structures for the bottom of the outer droplet. ... See MoreSee Less
