Cold winter’s day.

But things are heating up as the work keeps coming in. Meeting with Swiss tomorrow to check the proof of the brochure and discuss the website redesign. Meeting with Express on Monday. Need to create a banner graphic for The Audio Store. The Sane Nation blog is back on with a much-improved direction. Logos for my fellow BNI members. Oh, and some stationery for Partain Enterprises. Keep it comin’.

A less hectic week would be good.

After the chaos that was last week it was nice to have a more relaxing Monday. Spent most of the day designing logos for some of my fellow BNI members - some solid concepts starting to reveal themselves. I had to make a few adjustments to the Swiss brochure, as well. It’s ‘on press’ now (very exciting) and I should see a proof in a few days.

Taking a breath.

The blog suffers when things get busy. Good thing the blog doesn’t have any feelings or it’d be upset with my lack of attention lately. Juggling several large projects at the moment, and a few new logo assignments just came my way this week. Not to mention I need to get crackin’ on the BNI Game Scorecard. Due tomorrow, of course.

Where to start?

Lots to do today: brochures, logos, sell sheets, web. Bring it on!

New projects coming in…

After a slow start this week is quickly gaining steam. Lotsa Helping Hands has a big presentation coming up that I need to create several items for including a 12pg mini-booklet, pocket folders, easel signage, and some fun additions to their slide show. Also, the Sane Nation blog is back on track and I need continue my ‘utopian community’ illustration.

Very cool projects indeed.

Busy Monday.

Or “a lot on my plate”, as they say in the biz: Partain Enterprises business cards, GetPlaylists.com homepage revisions, Swiss Cleaners & Uniform Services brochure edits, address RSS issue with thompsonatlarge.com, check on Gutter Brothers shirt order, and design the BNI Score Sheet.

It’s all good.

The keys to BNI…

…is to not lock them in your vehicle on the first meeting of the new year while you’re trying to carry in the coffee and donuts before you have to give a 10-minute presentation.

Oh well, no harm done.

Swiss cheese, chocolate, watches… brochure?

Good strides today with the Swiss Cleaners & Uniform Services sales brochure. Airbrushed a few more photos, (Adobe wishes people wouldn’t refer to it as “photoshopping”, but I think it’s safe to say that ship has sailed), and the final copy is in place. Just need to proof it 4 million times and it’s off to the printer.

Thompson at Large is up!

After months and months of hard work I’m happy to announce that Keith Thompson has a new website, thompsonatlarge. This project was the epitome of a collaborative effort and I’d like to thank my friends at Atticus Interactive and Tri-County Web. I’d also like to thank the Penguin Group for tracking down the entire PDF of Leaving the Left. So take a peek, and I’d love to hear your feedback.

First workday of 2010.

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a hectic couple of weeks - opening presents, visiting with family, opening presents, eating, and visiting with family… which was great, but it feels good to actually get back to business. I may even get some work done today. At least that’s the idea.

I need to finish editing Keith Thompson’s radio programs and get them posted to his site. We’re almost set to go live. Can’t wait. Then I need to polish up the logo for Back East Brewing. And if there’s time I may even update my own website…

Thanks for checking in on the new blog.
