Meet the Graphic Design Dream Team

Behind the scenes at Video Labs sits our Graphic Design Dream Team, a pair of whizzes whose combined skill set forms the crossroads of our production flow. With the creativity of designers, technical resources of a print shop, and our reknowned customer service, Robert Long II along with Randall Thomas are at the heart of a growing graphic design department where your projects come together. With the recent addition of a state-of-the-art iMac, several high-end digital color printers and other upgrades, our graphics department offers full-service solutions --from creative concept to printing to media packaging.

Robert Long II joined Video Labs four years ago. A native of Davenport, IA, Robert has brought over thirty years of experience in professional illustration and design into our mix. Also a skilled cartoonist, we've enjoyed Rob's drawings on the pages of this newsletter. His creative evolution includes work as an actor, filmmaker and rock musician, all of which have added to his skill set as a professional graphic designer.

Department supervisor Randall Thomas began working in our broadcast services group 14 years ago, but he found his true calling in the graphic design department as our jack-of-all-trades. Randy is a true problem solver who has mastered many complex graphic design software programs while also managing our IT issues. We count on Randy's creative solutions when problematic design issues crop up.
