About
I'm Michael Van der Tol, the creative mind and award-winning photographer behind Tidal Front Media. I wear many hats — owner, graphic designer, web designer, and photographer. For more than a decade, I've quietly navigated the world of graphic and website design, leaving my mark on the serene Oceanside region of Vancouver Island. My passion lies in crafting unique visual identities that go beyond aesthetics, often incorporating my award-winning photography skills. Whether it's a logo, branding elements, or a complete visual overhaul, I believe in the power of design to communicate your brand essence effectively.
When we collaborate, it's not just a service; it's a personalized journey for your business. My focus is on delivering top-quality work without disrupting your valuable time. Need a schedule that aligns smoothly with your business plans? I'm here to make it work.
My philosophy? Honest, customer-focused service. Your project is complete when you're genuinely satisfied with the end result. Have an upcoming design project, a commercial photography need, or looking to refresh your company identity? I'm here, ready to solve those creative challenges.
Let's not just create graphics, let's build a brand narrative that resonates with your audience - leaving a lasting impression and fostering a connection that goes beyond the visual realm.
