The cards needed to accommodate a lot of information because they have pub contact info and personal contact info. The owners wanted to showcase a few photos of the pub, inside and out. Here's what we came up with:<br />

A current website client came to me for my opinion of a mobile website service trying to get their business. Via Skype, I sat in on a meeting with a sales rep from the company. What they were offering seemed expensive for what my client would get. There was an initial set-up fee plus a monthly fee that equaled what they were paying for their current web services. My big complaint was there was no way to integrate information between the full website I had designed and the mobile website. They were basically 2 separate things that had to be maintained separately. I just knew there would end up being discrepancies between the 2, and if it had anything to do with prices, customers could be very unhappy.<br />
<br />
My client decided it wasn't worth the monthly cost, but I knew they were interested in the service. I decided to dedicate some time to seeing if I could navigate the code needed to make a mobile site work. Luckily you can find a lot of information in a Google search. Here's the end result. Check it out on your mobile device at <a href="http://www.dinglehouse.com/" target="_blank">http://www.dinglehouse.com/</a>.<br />

They have sales representatives all over the country, so often the most cost-effective way for them to distribute these customized flyers is for them to email high resolution pdf files to the reps and have them print the flyers as they are needed on office laser printers.<br />
<br />
The first flyer was used to promote custom websites, which they offer to their customers to make the ordering process easier.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The second flyer featured a selection of shoes available to a certain customer. These flyers could be distributed to individual workers to aid in ordering.<br />

<br />
The third pair of flyers featured Flame Resistant clothing and Arc Flash rated safety gear. The sales representatives wanted to be able to customize the flyers with their contact information, so I provided a pdf with an editable region. Each individual rep can open the flyer in Reader and alter the copy in the box on the bottom right.<br />

The other quick project is a sheet of coupons to be left at the lobbies local hotels. I created an editable pdf so the client can update the sheet themselves in the future with Adobe Reader, print as many as they want on a laser printer and cut them out. By providing a pdf, I can control what parts of the page can be changed, in this case only the copy. If I had created this in a more common program, like Microsoft Word, there was the potential for other aspects of the design being changed. <br />

The interior pages showing individual shoes are taken from a larger catalog they send every 6 months. They regularly spin off smaller catalogs for certain sections of the catalog, in this case shoes and boots. The front and back covers below were created for the 2012 catalog.<br />

The staff complained that they got wrinkled and stained with food and were easily ruined. These have been laminated to preserve them longer.

The photos of the desserts were provided by the pub. They were taken with a good quality camera and with a good eye for composition. The lighting conditions in the pub were not ideal, so the colors were not so appetizing. I was able to manipulate them to showcase how fantastic these foods are. <br />

He wanted a Track and Field State 2011 similar to a design used the previous year for Cross Country. The school was switching screenprint vendors...the old vendor couldn't provide him with the old art. He found out about this at the 11th hour and called upon me to create artwork for the Track and Field shirts. I was sent this photo of the old shirts and given some direction about wording changes.<br />

I came up with a few ideas in black and gray including helmets, spears, and shields. We went through a few rounds of them narrowing down and me developing the chosen ideas further. Eventually color was added, leading to the final product below. (Sort of the final product...their legal department decided an addition needed to be made to the helmet, but I prefer this version.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaQHoQt8K33obLEi1CUc_kHnFM_zK5LfJJVgfDKyigwGFUqp2PLaOze-QJg5fvkapZsidO4BvwTjW2mY2Sbo_wY47758ZPpP3gt85kY_p0tumTTEr7gsbP1OWQES9axVyUKnTWoxIi34Y/s1600/CINspartan.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 329px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaQHoQt8K33obLEi1CUc_kHnFM_zK5LfJJVgfDKyigwGFUqp2PLaOze-QJg5fvkapZsidO4BvwTjW2mY2Sbo_wY47758ZPpP3gt85kY_p0tumTTEr7gsbP1OWQES9axVyUKnTWoxIi34Y/s400/CINspartan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615531388780144642" border="0" /></a>brown bag creativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17241472054804863824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761742181141378114.post-29310929367416470072011-06-06T10:31:00.000-07:002011-06-06T10:54:45.406-07:00helping AlabamaFollowing the tornadoes in April, my client Cintas wanted to do something to help raise money for the relief efforts.

Without going into too many details, someone else they hired to redesign the site had dropped the ball. With only 3 weeks to go until St. Patrick's Day (aka the biggest weekend of the year for an Irish pub) I was asked to create a site from scratch in time for the holiday. I'm happy to say within 2 weeks, the important info was live at <a href="http://www.dinglehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.dinglehouse.com</a> and they had a functioning website.

The resources included forms for creating the business, finding customers, bidding on jobs, and running the business.<br /><br />He had worked with one or two other designers on some of the forms, but they didn't want to tackle the pieces that needed to be customizable by the end user. That's where I stepped in. My solution was to create editable pdfs. The end user can open these pdfs in Adobe Reader and alter the copy in certain areas to reflect, for example, their company name and contact information. After customizing the editable forms, they can be printed on a home printer or taken to a copy store to be reproduced.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjng_-qi6n0Hfpu5CXGdOUfmVgH0TlpgU-WvbZZ4neEtHmazMaTyjRslHY9-r51XPFAZDZWrbf2QNgrzZ_VyPK_Y6OgYUvEWCRdGlE9B__084Oalb32S_pHrxmnUTXmFZ2Tn4ZNSv0G80Jh/s1600/DLhomeoffice.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 353px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjng_-qi6n0Hfpu5CXGdOUfmVgH0TlpgU-WvbZZ4neEtHmazMaTyjRslHY9-r51XPFAZDZWrbf2QNgrzZ_VyPK_Y6OgYUvEWCRdGlE9B__084Oalb32S_pHrxmnUTXmFZ2Tn4ZNSv0G80Jh/s400/DLhomeoffice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613317061564914642" border="0" /></a>[pdf; finished size 8 1/2" x 11"]<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszmYo6VrWP22mgCgXLuX8voSmWKMbrjO_WO2GXAfL_EgBfL4qBEQd3HjiBmuzGp4XTbVRR7vr5sgpNqRVsC2eBWGsy-vEXAnB5vFDlFs_e_NPZ_XBeyZrsatVGMCJ-WA7fUN6oHMxiWkk/s1600/DLletterhead.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 327px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszmYo6VrWP22mgCgXLuX8voSmWKMbrjO_WO2GXAfL_EgBfL4qBEQd3HjiBmuzGp4XTbVRR7vr5sgpNqRVsC2eBWGsy-vEXAnB5vFDlFs_e_NPZ_XBeyZrsatVGMCJ-WA7fUN6oHMxiWkk/s400/DLletterhead.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613317065319999714" border="0" /></a>[pdf; finished size 8 1/2" x 11" letterhead, #10 envelope, 2" x 3 1/2" business card]<br /><br />The final product is a resource CD containing the editable forms I created, other non-editable forms from the previous designers, and a pdf index of everything on the CD.

They provided ideas based on common designs and I went to work creating the artwork. In the end 4 different shirts were created with a simple shamrock on the front and the design on the back. The 4 shirts are represented below.<br /><br />They also needed a flyer they could e-mail to their sales reps across the country. The flyer needed to be specific to each sales rep with their personal contact information on the bottom and also have the ability to account for regional pricing differences. The solution was a pdf with certain information created as editable regions. The reps can open the pdf in Reader, personalize the editable areas, and print the flyers.

Part of their business includes embroidering and silk-screening logos on t-shirts and they need logos to apply to garments for catalog and website photography. What a great exercise in visual brainstorming. I was given general industry categories but the rest, including company names, was up to me. I completed 2-3 per day until they were finished. This represents some of my favorites.

High School students are discriminating. As the coach said, they decide in a split second if the shirt is "cool" (worth buying and wearing) or "stupid." Also, the shirt has to appeal to students and their parents. Sales of this shirt were good, so I think I hit the mark.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu-HzD9Mk4ncjW-_2kpzvs26GOleSIWUPmsrL9Lj8LvXdoEWqfLlpeEMl9ugceidu29aJND0XCUCyRmV8UxwY6VomFeRxOGugghm3_fT951zBmwW38JuCF07lZZMLJ-l8PLwuASJ0T_DFB/s1600/MCC2010tee.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu-HzD9Mk4ncjW-_2kpzvs26GOleSIWUPmsrL9Lj8LvXdoEWqfLlpeEMl9ugceidu29aJND0XCUCyRmV8UxwY6VomFeRxOGugghm3_fT951zBmwW38JuCF07lZZMLJ-l8PLwuASJ0T_DFB/s400/MCC2010tee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525419721338875570" border="0" /></a>brown bag creativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17241472054804863824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761742181141378114.post-32777828548011163662010-10-07T14:00:00.000-07:002010-10-07T14:11:34.098-07:00website for Mallet IncorporatedI have been fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Mallet Incorporated, a local Seattle design-build company.

They needed an 8-page booklet overview of their services and a separate tri-fold flyer detailing what they offered to nonprofit organizations. First contact was made on a Monday, design began Tuesday, files were at the printer Friday, and the client used the 2 printed pieces in a presentation the following Friday. Whew...that's quick. I'm glad I was able to provide them with two professional products.<br />

It only takes that happening once or twice for me to become vigilant about saving. On a grander scale, have you ever had a hard drive or back-up drive fail, a laptop stolen? I've heard too many stories of these things happening and friends losing years of work files or personal photos.<br /><br />For many years now I've had a pretty inexpensive system of file back-up in place. All of my files live on my computer's hard drive (copy #1). Any project in process is backed up onto an external drive every day when I'm finished working (copy #2). Once projects are completed they are set aside to be archived. When work is slow, like now, I burn files ready for archive onto CDs or DVDs. I make one set that is kept here in my office (copy #3) and another that is sent to live on a shelf at my husband's office at work (copy #4). Should the worst case ever happen and my house burns down, I would have a copy of all my files safe and sound.<br /><br />A little van Gogh livens up the cover and a burn date helps me find files later.
