Friends with Businesses

Some designers love creating logos. They specialize in distilling an organization into a versatile image. They’ll even create logos for fictitious entities just for the sake of creating a good logo.

I am not one of those designers. I enjoy not creating, but using logos. I like to take the branding elements that others assemble and apply them in practical ways to authentically communicate a message.

And yet, I am in a season of life when several of my friends are in various stages of starting small businesses. Of course, I was happy to help them bring their logo visions to life.

Take a peek at these three very distinct logos that I have worked up recently.

Sermon Graphics

Art and Soul

In my work for Pittman Park Church, I’ve had the opportunity to create a series of sermon graphics over the past several months. They are printed on Church bulletins, displayed on presentation screens, used as thumbnails for archived sermons, and used as the Church Facebook group cover image.

Each graphic was selected from 2-4 options presented to the pastors. The options each provide a different feel for what the theme might need to evoke from congregants, and the pastors can choose what best communicates the message they want to convey.

I want the sermon graphics to add value to the message and also work in all the formats needed, but I also want them to be harmonious with each other.

So far, I am pleased with what this is becoming!

Flat Rate for 8 Hours

Out There with Upwork

Most people pay for graphic design services by the hour. My electrician husband also charges this way. But sometimes it’s easier to take the leap and tackle your next project when you know the final cost up front. That’s why I offer a PRICE LIST.

Now, I’m offering a new way to pay for design services: an 8-hour flat rate. If you’ve got a list of small projects that need the expertise of a veteran designer, this is how you can get them all done in one day! Or space out your 8-hours over a few days. The times that work for your schedule will be the times that I am 100% focused on producing solutions to fit your needs.

I have posted this unique model on Upwork to see if the world is ready. Would you like to be one of the first to try it out? CLICK HERE

Direct Mail

Postcards for a Good Cause

Today the post office is putting my postcard designs in 2,000 local mailboxes! I delivered Touchable Design’s first direct mail project to the Statesboro post office yesterday, and everything went great!

Direct mail can be a powerful marketing option, so I was excited when my client took my suggestion. Especially since my client is an important local non-profit organization: Youth Career Commission, Inc. I’m happy to have a part in letting more people know about the life-changing career camp they organize every year.

If you have a student who’d like to build the foundation for their future this summer, or if you have a message you’d like to quickly get into a lot of mailboxes, I can help!
