A great client of mine, Steve Evans with KCLY/KVEL radio station out of Utah, contacted me needing a flyer for his daughter Shelby. He sent me a few photos and she is beautiful & you can tell this young one has a lot of style to her personality. She had such an amazing smile that I took a photo of her and made it part of her vector logo. This is still at it’s first proof stage but we will see what they think of the design . . .

James & I sat for quite a while creating this logo. His dance mentor Mykl drew this lovely sketch of dancers way back in the day. James wanted to use the image but recreate it in a way that would work for Zipper Dancing!

Mykle’s Drawing:

I brought in the above rastered image into illustrator & recreated the original sketch in vector form. From there we kept tweaking the points until we got what James wanted. This is what the outcome was . . . It turned out great!

I seem to be very bad a bloging and networking with my business. It is amazing how much time it takes to blog. I have so many awesome projects to post but my time seems to be spent designing. I’ve posted a couple of finished projects. Just need to make sure each time I finish a design POST IT!! Lets see if I can get back in the swing of things . . .

I do want to thank all my wonderful clients, who are all such great friends too, for your support!

Just finished up the 11×17 horizontal poster for ZIPPER DANCING!!! ZipperDancing.com

WOW! My greatest friend James has a business named Mishe Mokwa Media. I was visiting and he showed me his old logo.

We sat down in front of my laptop on his couch and worked this up in no time! He was so excited, so was I!

It sure has been a while since I last blogged. I’ve done some new and exciting projects. I now know how to make .mobi (kindle) & .epub files for ebooks. Still learning but my first kindle in available on Amazon now – Atlantis Rising Magazine Issue #86.

Check it out!!

I can’t believe how much I learned about Microsoft Word today. Just spent about 8 hours trying to redesign a clients supplied 37 page doc to a nicely designed doc. I ended up just starting from scratch. Figured out paragraph styles, header & footers w/ graphics, table of contents, etc.

Long day of learning. At least I got the project done. Will hear back from the client tomorrow on his thoughts.

Finally I got myself new printers. So far they are awesome! I searched online and ended up on the Staples website.  Lucked out and our store had them in stock. I purchased Brother MFC-5895cw & a Brother HL-2270dw Monochrome Laser Printer. I never knew how easy and useful wireless printers could be. One less cord!!

Listening to Slacker Radio – New Age channel and doing some TTG work on the computer. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Well my battery in my MacBook Pro has been acting really strange. Not holding it’s charge and now it says it has a lot of battery then out of the blue it shuts off w/ no warning. Its been a few weeks since I have even seen the low battery warning. I did a bunch of research last night found out you get this problem if you have your laptop plugged in all the time. You’ve been warned!! For the last 3 weeks I have not been taking my laptop w/ me everywhere I go & it’s been plugged in at home. I tried to calibrate the battery but it failed cuz I wouldn’t get the low battery warning. Found another solution reset the SMC. This seems to work. I’m writing this w/ 18 min left on my battery. I’m waiting to see if I get the warning. Hope so. 16m . . . YES!!!! 9m left and I get the warning. I think things are fixed. Better plug in now!!
