Describe your company and organization and target audience

Pinball Pirate has been in business for fourteen years, selling and repairing pinball machines and arcade games. We are a small team working in northern California. Our customers tend to be a little older because that's the group of people who played the most pinball when they were young and have the money to buy one now. That said, the latest release is Pokemon - we're getting younger customers all the time.

The design should have the following
