Third Thursday Tip – Artwork Action

Hey customers!  Last month in “Logo Language” we told you what to have and do when creating your own logo.  This month we’re telling you how to help us give birth to your new logo or design!  Here are a few things that would be helpful to have prior to your visit with us!

• Quarter inch bleeds on printable files are helpful because no printer has exact registration.  Registration is how accurately a printer prints artwork in the same place.  For example, when printing more than one business card the printer may shift the artwork on a few of the cards.  Having quarter inch bleeds help us avoid this for you.
• It’s great for us to use sized appropriate files as well – .jpeg files won’t allow us to enlarge your artwork! 😦

We love printing your personal artwork and with these tips, we guarantee to make your new artwork come to life!

Save the Date Saturday – Starry Night

This couple asked us to create one of the sweetest Save the Dates we’ve done.  They purchased the square magnets, wanting a unique shape, and then we paired those with silver shimmer guest information cards and matching envelopes that tells the guests the location in a unique way.  Isn’t this creative?

Put the WOW in Your Cake!

I don’t know about you all but I love sweets, and this custom made flyer was enough to cure my sweet tooth!  We loved creating these for The WOW Factor Cakes!  This isn’t your everyday flyer; it’s enough to make you order everything on their menu!

Do you need to cure your own sweet tooth?  No problem!  Go the The WOW Factor Cakes open house on March 30th for FREE samples!  The winning flavors will be regular items on their menu!  So get your taste buds ready, and GO!

A world of thanks…

These fun thank you notes were created for a world traveler.  The faux passport stamps reflect places this customer actually visited.  We just love the plane and banner indicating the special delivery.

Save the Date Saturday – Pittsburgh Skyline

Nina lives in Charlotte, but is getting married in her hometown of Pittsburgh.  The color palette features the beautiful combination of blush and gold.  Wanted to highlight her hometown’s beautiful skyline was important since that’s the location of the venue.  So, we created an illustrated version of Pittsburgh and combined with classic fonts.  The gold envelope added a subtle, and unexpected, boldness to the blush.

Third Thursday Tip – Logo Language

When creating a logo, you need to have more than just your logo.  When you think about it, it’s a little like cooking.  You have to follow the recipe and have all the right ingredients.  In addition to the logo, make sure your designer provides the following “ingredients”:

– PMS Colors
– Font
– Formats

• Vector files – .ai, .eps, .pdf
  Now you’re probably asking why you would need a vector file.  A vector file is used to ensure that your artwork is scaled.  Whether you want your logo really small like a business card or really large like a billboard, you can do it in a vector file!

• jpeg and .png files
  Note that .jpeg has a permanently white background .png does not have a background.

Now that’s Logo Language!

Save the Date Saturday – Not Just for Weddings

Who says Save the Dates are exclusive to weddings?  Not us or our clients!  Here is one for a B’Nai Mitzvah.

The twins, Skylar and Dylan, want a party theme event so the Save the Dates had to set the tone.

The paper, which features a holographic squiggle pattern on the back, paired well with their fun color palette.  The round die cut also added to the uniqueness of the design.

 

Great Couple & Great Pictures – Save the Date Saturday

Jodi and Chad are a great couple!  They’ve dated for years and will marry in May.  They asked us to create their Save the Dates with some of the great pictures from their engagement session.  Their neutral attire allowed us to infuse the card with their colors of blush, cream and brown.

The stripes add a nice, but not overstated touch!

Save the Date Saturday – Brianne & Matt

We’re so excited about this wedding we don’t know what to do…and it’s months away.  The couple, Brianne and Matt, met while working at a summer camp.  They are the cutest couple!

Here is their stunningly sophisticated Save the Date.  One of our fantastic calligraphers beautiful wrote each envelope.  The envelopes are lined in gold, luxurious and beautiful.

We’ll post more about their wedding day stationery in June!
