branding

Has anyone told you that designing for someone is easier then designing for yourself?  Well if they have not, it is.  Trying to pin point down what you want to convey, what style you want to present is not an easy task.  I have been through countless ideas and colors and everything in between. 

Branding is a very important part of anyone's business.  It defines who you are and how you want to be presented to your collegues and clients.  That is why it is very important to higher someone you trust that will get your angle.  But do not be discouraged if it takes time.  Creating a brand for someone is a process.  Some people are very successful of getting their clients over night and others, it just may take some time.  But it is well worth it in the end.  Plus I think it's fun in the idea of getting to know your client.  You build lasting relationships for years to come. 

Oh, and any post is no fun without a pic.  This is a logo design that I did for a client out of the "logo's for sale".  I was really excited with what we came up with.

 Stephanie of Stephanie Dawn Photography purchased a "logo for sale" and we tweaked to her needs.  Once I get her website, etc I'll post so you can check her out.

look what came out of the "logos for sale"

I was pretty excited when I posted unused and unwanted logos that I immediately I had a sale.  And not only was it fun trying to adapt what was already created, but seeing the final and the little extras.

Mandie Newsom of Captured contacted me and we got to work.  We were able to do several things to help in promoting her business.

We created a logo, a facebook profile badge (that's the square one), a watermark, and a favicon for her website or blog.  Pretty cool aren't they?

If you need a photographer in the South Mississippi area, become a fan on her facebook page and contact her today.  Currently she is running a special through the beginning of November.  A free session and a high quality CD of your images for you to print.  But be sure to contact her immediately as her weekends are filling up quick.

And if you like what you saw here from my "logos for sale" head on over and see what I have left.  Again, they are going for $60 and you can already see what you get out of it.

Oh and in case you wondering, this is how the logo first started off.   

more logos...

I know lately it seems this is all I am doing.  But they are fun and I really enjoy the process. 

Here are a couple more that I recently did for a couple of clients.

This one was for Michelle of "As I see It Photography".  I'll post a link to her blog as soon as I get it.

And this one was for Vanessa of "Nessy B. Photography".  This was a simple one as she had the elements and such figured out, I just helped with a better placement.
