website for Mallet Incorporated

I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Mallet Incorporated, a local Seattle design-build company. The term design-build means they do both architectural designs and construction work on their projects, mainly remodels and renovations. Their work can be seen all over the greater Seattle area. My work for them has begun with a website, http://malletinc.com, and I hope there are more projects in the future.

printed pieces helping to increase sales

My favorite kind of client is someone who continues to need help with projects. This client came to me needing a 4-page mini-catalog to sell screenprint apparel. The result is shown below.

A little while later they needed a 2-sided flyer for disposable glove sales.

Then it was a scratch-off card to encourage sales among customer service representatives. Sell a case of gloves and you get one card with a minimum prize of a $10 gift certificate. A silver scratch-off circle was applied over the white circle, just like a lottery ticket. That would entice me to sell more.

hair salon product brochure

The creator of a disposable single-use shampoo basin neck pillow needed a way to advertise the product to salons. The solution was a brochure explaining the benefits of the product and ordering information. Some of the brochures were sealed closed and, with an address and a stamp, are ready to be mailed.

presentation icons

Catalog customer Cintas needed to visually represent their different marketing elements for a presentation. On a very short timeline, here are some of the icons I developed.[top left - internet orders; top center - delivery trucks; top right - sales contests; center - direct mail catalogs; bottom left - inside sales phone reps; bottom center - service and sales rep (drivers) orders; bottom right - call center orders]

I scream...you scream

I was pleased to be able to develop a logo for a soft-serve ice cream shop opining in Troy, OH this spring. The client was hoping to represent the small town nature of Troy and wanted the logo to convey Americana and the family-friendly atmosphere they hope to achieve in the shop. It's great when work can intersect one of my interests, ice cream.

keeping it legal

I recently completed a very quick turn-around project for a local law firm. 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.

high school sports t-shirts

The coach of a high school cross country team was unsatisfied with the free designs he was getting from the t-shirt company (sometimes you get what you pay for). He asked me to come up with a design for their 2009 cross country shirt and a related design for their invitational (a single-day race sponsored by the school). After consulting with some brutally honest critics (high school girls), this is what we decided.
