This is a two color business card design for Audax Strategies. They were wanting a vertical layout, and a front and back. We were given the logo and two pantone swatches to use in the design up front. Audax is a new emerging printing and media group, so they don't have a defined corporate identity at this time. So I referenced their site and email signatures to develop something that fits their theme of their business.

After waiting for the opportunity to design MTSU's Gameday book, Chase and I were asked to design for a different division of MTSU Sports. We designed the newest edition of the Kermit Davis Sixth Man Enrollment Brochure. Please tell us what you think.

We just recently designed a new Myspace Music page for a local rapper named JOJO. Along with designing the layout of the page we also take and manipulated all of his newest photos.

Clint and I have a great relationship with the president of Audax strategies, Fant Smith. Fant is going to give his clients - as a promotional item - a bottle of hand sanitizer (in lieu of the swine flu scare.) He asked us to design the label.

I made two designs; one with the very corporate, simple, promotional-item-feel. The other design, I just had fun with it.

A great friend of mine, Lindsey Borders, has her own booking agency for musical talent. I owed her more than one favor for all she has down for me and my own music, and decided that I could help her by designing a nice proposal template for her to use when approaching new venues, new clients, etc.

I chose to keep the design very subtle and unobtrusive, and for those of you who don't design you don't have any idea how much restraint it takes for us designers to keep things simple when we have as many tools in our box as we do. Picture a child who loves coloring and has a huge box of 150 crayons. Now challenge him to picking only three colors to use on the picture, and to not dump the whole box on the table during the selection process.

In essence I designed a letter head she could use, but added a cover to make it even more professional when submitting her proposals. I also designed her a very simple logo in the process, as well established a color pallet: a very warm and inviting pink with light browns.

We recently designed George's blog site that he is using to promote his run for senate in 2010. The next thing George needed was a little collateral to use on the trail., i.e. business cards, letterheads to print statements on, and brochures explaining his policy positions.


Consistency is great in two ways:
1) It makes the pieces seem profession if they have a central governing theme - no political pun intended.


2) As a designer, you don't have to go back to the drawing board. You've already decided on fonts, colors, and graphic elements you just have to re-work them within a new set of dimensions and function.

Since my Girlfriends kids both go to the new Magnet School here in Shelbyville, we were afforded the opportunity to design their mascot and school logo. The way it work is, people will submit their logo design ideas and when school starts back after the Horse Show the kids will get to vote on the design they like the best. We will be submitting 2 options. Keep your fingers crossed!!!
