Over the years I’ve been asked to Design – or create – many different things. Once I put the head of a companies boss on to an Oscar statue so the image could be printed out and mounted on foam core to be handed out at a annual meeting. Another time I was asked to photoshop a person in a photo who looked a bit scruffy. My clients asked if I could “Give him a shave”. So I did. Sometimes Graphic Design are regular requests and sometimes they can be a bit unusual. But it is all FUN! From billboards, to can coozies to trade show graphics to packaging labels.
My latest ‘unusual’ request was a couple of tattoo designs! I thought “sure, I can help design a tattoo!” Often people have an idea that is unique but can’t quite communicate it to the tattoo artist and are at the mercy of their interpretation. My client and good friend Rick (hey buddy!) asked me to design him not one – but TWO tattoos! Both were uniquely personal to him and in both cases he had a concept and wanted the idea refined and perfected before going into the tattoo artist.
Just goes to show – if you have an idea and just can’t visualize it – maybe a designer can take your ideas and your input and take the concept to the next level. Give me a call or shoot me an email if you have an idea, a concept, a new business or something that you are having trouble pulling into focus. I’d love to hear about it and try to help create something to give your concept a new direction.

I can’t believe the new year is upon us already. It definitely came here quickly. As like so many of my clients, I have not been the best at keeping up with my blog. You know what? That’s OK. I’ve been busy keeping my files and software up to date and delivering high quality design to my clients.
Speaking of clients – I have a few new ones that I think you should check out and watch for future changes with them during the year. First is Savvy Woman Secrets magazine. I started working with them last year and the holiday issue was my third issue that I was deeply involved with. This is a great Dane County area magazine featuring many wonderful businesses. The holiday issue even had a secret section that featured some amazing deals. Another new client is Jada’s Garden & Greenhouse. Jada has been doing personal gardening and landscaping for some time and does amazing work. She will be opening a new Greenhouse in the Mount Horeb area sometime this year. Watch for more information on her website www.jadasgarden.com which we were very proud to work on.
Lastly, I hope you all have a great 2017. I look forward to working with you all and hope it is a wonderful year!

Monona Terrace
I’m amazed sometimes by the different designs I find all around town – sometimes in the areas I least expect it. From a terrace chair to city banners up and down the street. Some amaze me and some just make me shake my head.
My wife likes to tease me when I critique menu design when we are out. I just can’t help it – its in my blood. But at the same time, how a menu reads, or looks to the restaurant’s customers is almost as important as the taste of the food. Both are part of the experience and leave an impression. That is the same with your businesses design. Whether its an advertisement, your letterhead – or even an invoice – you want your design to leave a good impression.
If you come across a design that you particularly like – or hate – let us know. Tell us what impression they left on you. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
