One of our newest customer is MAC, Motor Appliance Corporation. We have been working with them for a few months on a whole range of graphic design projects including business card design, label design and one of or latest project a rework of their logo
We will shortly be turning our attention to their web site, applying the new logo and a general update.
I recently had some business cards printed for a project and decided to give another printer a try. My usual printer is http://www.printingforless.com/, I have been very happy with their service and results. However a quick Google search brought up http://www.vistaprint.com/ and after a few minutes looking through their web site the price for their premium business cards was rather appealing. I placed the order and recieved the cards within the week. The quality was great.
My first order resulted in a flood of emails from Vista Print with offers for free this and free that. I thought I’d take advantage of one of these offers…not exactly free as they charge for design upload..around $4.00 if my memory serves me right. And then there was shipping. I opted for the slow shipping but recieved my oversized postcards within the week. But another great result, 5he printing was crisp and clean and the colors spot on.
I will definately be using them again

We are facing another rainy day in St Louis today and greeted by a rather gray sky again this morning it got me thinking about color and mood. For me gray is most definately a mood downer. I like bright vibrant colors and a blue sky with bright sunshine is an instant pick me up.
So if the St Louis weather is not going to cooperate today how about this for a digital pick me up. This was designed using Adobe Illustrator and is currently being incorporated into a dynamic iGoogle theme called color punch. It is not yet in the Google themes directory but you can get it via inthemes

One of the best places to find quality themes for your iGoogle home page is at www.inthemes.com. Every week they feature one of the themes from their directory on their site; this week it is one I recently created called The Boffins
Here is what they have to say
Theme of the Week: The Boffins
Every week here at inThemes we like to showcase one of our favorite themes by applying it to our own homepage. This week it’s The Boffins by Zoe Feast, but why does it always make me think of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew?

Here is one of our latest logo projects and a great testimonial from the client:-
“Wonderful job. I think this represents a wonderful graphical representation of what Chrysalis is trying to portray. The color green is the color of growth, nature and money. The logo with the circle transforming into a diamond presents a wonderful embodiment for what Chrysalis offers. Thanks for all your help in this.”
If you use iGoogle and your search page has a header that looks like this
did you know that Google now offers a directory of themes that allow you to customize the look of their interface?
They have just included a dynamic theme I created, which feature two boffins in a chemistry lab. The theme changes five times thoughout the day and follows the boffins as things go a little awry in their lab.
