What does Artletic do?
Artletic provides clients with design solutions for both print and screen. From logos to websites and annual reports to email marketing campaigns, all solutions are performance driven creative. Which means each project not only needs to look good, it needs to be able to work hard for the desired result – satisfied and repeat end-users.
What does Artletic mean?
Communication Fitness Through Design. It’s the tagline, but you could also say it’s a philosophy.
Design solutions should be part Art (not "fine art", but having sound aesthetics and communicating ideas), and part Athlete (not sweaty, but possessing strength, finesse, and endurance). Artletic strives to merge these two concepts and provide hard-working design solutions that communicate ideas in a visually appealing manner.
Who is Artletic?
Artletic is the result of several years of training by Matt Crest. After learning from some very smart people, he started Artletic to work with clients who love what they do.

Matt Crest (a quick bio)
Born and raised in Minnesota, Matt Crest was exposed to wonderful things; a love for the outdoors, kind people, and solid Scandinavian design aesthetics. After the invented activities of growing up in a medium sized town, he went to college in Michigan.
As an Architecture and Computer Science double major, Matt quickly realized that the drearyness of Michigan was not right for him. Colorado beckoned and he followed the call. Another major, Industrial Design, turned into Communication Design and he found what he was looking for. In a sense, he was combining the previous majors into this one and brought similar thinking with him as well.
After graduating from Metropolitan State College of Denver, Matt immediately began working as a designer at Idaho Stew (a small design and advertising studio in Denver). Here began the second phase of his education. From Junior Designer, Designer, and on to Senior Designer, he learned from owner Stuart Alden all about the business side of design and not to overlook the details – it's the details that make a project great.
Matt left Idaho Stew in 2008 to start Artletic, where his goal is to maintain the attention to detail and give Clients solutions they can write home about.
