Hi-Fi colour design and Brian Miller
Our research shows
Hi-Fi colour design being founded in 1998 by Brian Miller with a mission to
provide digital color, illustration, and other creative services to the comic
book and entertainment industries. Since then Hi-Fi has collaborated with
every major publisher, syndicate, toy company, and entertainment company worldwide.
With a ‘license to thrill’ Hi-Fi often works in deep cover behind
the scenes on major licensed properties. They could tell you all about it
but then they would have to kill you... damned confidentiality agreements
make many projects ‘eyes only’ for the Hi-Fi ‘covert-ops’
team.
Publicly Hi-Fi are best known for their work in comic books with a major focus
on digital coloring. The double-’o’ agents over at ComicBookDataBase
couldn’t get anyone from Hi-Fi to give-up any info, even under the interrogation
lights. These spies are compiling background checks on thousands of comic
books every day and have uncovered the majority of Hi-Fi’s comic book
assignments.
