Well, I finally took the time to make a logo for myself.  Yes, I'm sure it's odd that I don't use the title of the site in the layout, but I really like my ... "campaign" about Turning Away From Light.  You don't always have to have brightness and sunshiney moments to market something.  You can try to be daring and use dark backgrounds or dark colors.  In design, you should be able to see in all forms of light.  I prefer the night, the darkness, the starlight shining down from above, the softness of the sunlight reflected from the moon.  It turns something you see at high noon on a clear day into a completely different visual experience.

So without further waiting, I give you the new (and only) logo of Exquisite Designs.

While we have not yet set up a Twitter account for Ascano Photography, we do (ok, ok, I do) want to so that the word about her business can spread wide and far to all the wonderful people in the world.  Or at least the county we live in.  I enjoy helping my friends realize their dreams with graphics and invoices and letterhead and whatever else I can do for them.  I give them a fair price, or I try to make an even trade with the services they provide.  So here it is, the first mockup of the background.

Today I added to the logo and flyer created for Ascano Photography by creating her a personalized invoice.  This invoice is created in Excel with her own logo and (of course) all her contact information right on it.  The great thing about it though is that she can fill it in on the computer or print a few (color or black and white, both will look great) and hand-write them out.  She might even be able to have a personalized pad printed out somewhere to put in her bag.

This is the final front and back high-resolution version of the Ascano Photography flyer. Best work ever. You can find more out about Ascano Photography at: Ascano Photography - Smug Mug and Facebook

Another for Ascano Photography. These are 5x7 flyers (probably to be printed on cardstock) and mailed out to prospective customers or left places for people to pick them up. These versions are not up to print standards at this time as they are only in 100DPI. Once a final version is created it’ll be in 300DPI for the best possible print quality.
