Graphic design Portland. The words go together well. They also speak to one thing Portland can claim: design. Portland is the place where designers come. The place that fosters creativity. No days are gloomier than a February rain storm. No days are more glorious than August sunshine. Portland is a land of amazing emotional extremes. Brood when the sun hasn’t shined for 6 months, rejoice and exalt when the sun shines everyday and the beauty of the region inspires. 

In the 4+ years 52 has pounded the pavement for designers, we have been consistently amazed at the quality of the talent here and the quality that wants to be here. Graphic design Portland. Says it all.

Creative staffing will remain an emerging trend throughout the year. As companies pared workforces at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, things are now moving in the positive direction. As the work continues to flow, the need for talent begins to increase. Firms are now finding themselves short of staff and short on resources. 52 has seen a marked increase in hiring activity in the last couple of months. Creative staffing and staffing in a creative manner, will continue trending upward.
