About

Introduction
Three One Six Design is the creative outlet of Steve Adams. That’s me. I am passionate about Web Design, Web Usability, Social Media and certain aspects of graphic design. I am currently the Creative Director and Owner at 316 Design, a company I started back in 1998. This site may have some of that work, but hopefully the focus will be topics in around the subjects of web design, social media, graphic design, logo design and a place I may ramble on about them. I hope you will feel free to participate and join the conversation.

History
I founded Adams Advertising sometime in 1998 as a small advertising agency while working at Explorer Pro Comp. At the time I was doing a quite a bit of freelance work in the evenings and on weekends and I needed a name. Adams Advertising was basically an entity under which I conducted freelance business. I continued taking on small outside projects while working at Pro Comp and in December of 2001, I left Pro Comp to dedicate my full attention to Adams Advertising. In August of 2005 after deciding I didn’t want to be an advertising agency but rather focus on what I thought I did best, design, I changed the name to 316 Design. This also made it easier for me to do work for Advertising Agencies. In April 2009 we decided to relaunch the 316 Design company website and this blog. With the blog I hope to contribute to the Graphic, Web Design, Social Media communities and actively “Join the Conversation”.
