Busy day today! Got hit from all angles today.
Made some final touches on some Bannerstands for a medical company.
They are looking to take these easy to handle banners to Europe for a show next month.
we are about 95% done with these.



















Helped recreate a home pages for CLUES. I created a EXPO page for their expo tomorrow about 1-2 months ago. I just added graphics within the framework and made the text consistent on the page. both English and Spanish pages. A NEW redesign is starting next month with a CMS system with partnering company Jurrens. Also made some web updates to other sites.

Looking to make some changes for E&O Tool And Plastics. new logo for their tradeshow booth.
Also with future graphics.

Also will be launching a new print services site. It's live but nowhere near finished.
Watch for updates as I go. LOTS of COOL things will be posted for large format graphics for the home! You will not be disappointed.

Hopefully I will have some work from CJ SPRAY this week!

Good night all and go Twins!

WOW... It's Thursday already... My week consisted of a brochure for CJSPRAY. Cutting out images for Hearing Components, Working on a layout for a web-site for the local Little Ceasars pizza places, Putting together some signage for Miss Maries daycare, Working on a FLASH ad for Podany's Office Furniture, Picking up 20,000 door hangers for Custom Crafted Upholstery, Finishing up the final touches for the brochure for Rosemount's Veteran Memorial walk, Do web site edits for NEW EDGE, JT EXPERTS, Wild Outdoor Services, AND my new business web-site.

WOW... All in one breath!

We finally reached a decision on the logo for Miss Maries.
It was the best option.









I have a new meeting with a client that I haven't talked to in a year. Should be interesting to see how I can help them.

Well off to get ready for bed... More projects coming soon!

Bring it on!

Had a great week! It's friday, but in freelancers world that means nothing. You work in the weekends too! But i can also golf on a Wednesday morning! So who's complaining!

Had a great meeting with an existing client CJ SPRAY. I started working with them back in the trade-show days. Created a great 10X20 display.
From there I was creating marketing materials for their products.
After a logo recreation and a temporary web-site, they need to revise all their brochures for their products. So many needs and not enough time finish them.
So as of Monday, I will be dedicating most of my time to finishing three brochures for them.








The next project will be my daughters preschool is in need of some help marketing the school!
So I will be creating the web-site for the school and helping with all the materials needed to help market the preschool. They do have a logo that I decided to rearrange a bit.
Here are the two options that I purposed. Plus the logo she has already.

Working with Miss marie has been a great experience, she does a great job with my daughter, so I need to do a bang up job for her!



















I will also be finishing up the final touches of the Rosemount's Veterans Memorial Walk
I will post that after the final draft is done.

More to come!

Thanks

Honor the Veterans!

Today, I am working on a brochure for a Memorial walk in downtown Rosemount.
I was approached a year and half ago from the McMenomy family to help create a brochure for this memorial walk.  When I started I had a great concept for this brochure. The project went on hold because the city needs to approve the project. Now in September 2009 it's approved, we just need to get the word out there for citizens around to purchase a paver with a veterans name on it. It can be a present server or someone that lost their life in any war. As a forth generation Rosemount resident I was glad to take on this project. My roots run deep in this town, so it will be nice to help this out!  Here is the site for now.   I haven't got a hold this site YET!

Also a Rotary Club is starting in Rosemount on Friday afternoon. Was interested in looking into that. I would love to help area businesses grow!  I will see how that go's.

I am helping a great cause for a family that is dealing with a illness in one of their children. Gregg Magnuson a sales rep I worked with a Skyline has a son that is battling a form of a brain tumor. Some old co-workers are holding a benefit for the family on Sept.13th.
I am designing a sheet of services that I can do, to auction off for the benefit of the family.
I loaded the flyers to my site here. Gregg was a great guy, and no parent deserves to go through this. Keep him and his family in your prayers and help Tyler heal!
Donations are on the web link.

I will make it short for today!

later!
