Business card design

Had the chance to go out to Village Veterinary Clinic today and get some shots of the place to be used on the site. While I was there I had my first chance to see the business cards I designed for Dr Lori White a few months back. I had to get a pic of them for my site

and just because I thought they turned out really cool. Very simple on the front and somewhat edgy on the back with the blown up logo and the website url.

Village Veterinary Clinic is online!

Dr Lori white has been one of the best clients I have had the pleasure of working with. We have worked together to design a great logo, dynamite business cards, slick envelopes and letterhead designs and now her online presence with limestonevillagevet.com

She has been busy getting her clinic ready to open and knew that having a site was essential. I think she and I were very pleased with the outcome. She wanted a site that was basic, visually appealing and different from the other vet sites around here locally. I think it was successful on all accounts. Head over to her site and check it out!

It's aliiiive!!!

After months of working on it when time allowed, I finally updated brenthobbsdesign.com. It has been a long overdue design update. Glad to see all the long hours of work pay off with such a cool looking site. Go check it out if you haven't already. Feedback is welcomed!

This thing is not dead

I know. I know. I have neglected you blog. And I am sorry about that. I did spend most of my time with my family, friends, and actually working on projects and jobs that bring in money, but I'm coming back. If you will have me. I vow to update you. I vow to look at you. I vow that I will direct internet traffic to you. Its time for a new start and I think you and I are gonna make it after all.

Invitations and all things associated

The design work has been slow the last couple of months, thus the slow blog postings. Which is fine, because I have had more than enough to do with things for the family.

First, was designing invitations for Drew's first birthday coming up in a little over a week. He is big on Yo Gabba Gabba, so I "borrowed" some ideas from some designs from etsy.com and created the little guy his own custom birthday invites. In a related side not, there is big business in designing custom invites and thank you cards and etc. Thinking of jumping into some of that...

I also did up some decorations for the party as well. Nothing major, just a huge banner, balloon faces, and party hat faces, oh and address labels that went on the back of the envelopes. Might as well put this degree to some use...

Now I am getting into wedding invites for my wife's brother and his future wife. Had some hurdles, but finally settled on a cool design and getting them printed at FedEx Office at a pretty nice price.

Once this blitz is over I can get back to helping out Spirit of Athens and rounding up the couple of new clients for some paying design work. I also have a project of my own (self promotion piece) that I have to get going and printed up by December.

Oh, and maybe find time to play some golf and enjoy the cooling down we are having lately.

New jobs on the horizon?

Hello, its been awhile. I feel like I am talking to myself here since I have single digit readers, but anyhoo.

Good news. Three potential jobs looming on the horizon. Two websites and a print job. It looks like I got some decent exposure from the Athens Homecoming Celebration and Spirit of Athens!

Hopefully an update to come that details these jobs. I can tell you they are fine organizations/businesses in the Athens area and I look forward to working with them.
