As promotional products become more and more popular we have found ourselves prepping a lot more art for the screen printing process. Low resolution jpegs cannot be expected to come out clean on these items. You’ll need source art that is either vector or high rez in order to get the best results possible. The fact is, the methods used for these types of products are generally low quality and high volume. So in order to achieve the best results you’ll need to supply the best quality art available.

That’s when you call us!!! We keep the source from everything we’ve ever done for you on file and backed up on several drives. And can usually handle art requests in minutes so that you don’t have to spend time searching your emails and files in frustration.

Shasta Glide ‘n Ride has had us handle many projects including apparel, print and web.

Do you wish you had more control over your site? Or do you just have a lot to say? Wordpress allows you to login, create pages and add posts without ever contacting your webmaster. You can also boost your google pressence by updating content on a regular basis. Another great thing about a wordpress blog is that your readers can subscribe, comment, discuss and get alerts when you submit posts.

As you may have read, Restoration Health is one of my favorite clients. They are also one of the most active businesses in the area. frequently putting on seminars and work shops to educated people about the many sides of healthy living. This project came out of neccessity. They needed a way to keep people informed of their events as well as build a database of articles and health info. Something they could easily manage and update themselves so that they didn’t have to call me every time they had something new.

Apparel design is a favorite for me because it gets by far the most exposure and is generally youthful. Clothing design is also very literal in a sense that you only have one shot to get your message out. Not like a website or brochure where you have several pages to comunicate your ideas.

It’s not uncommon for several of our logo mock-ups to be accepted by the client and used as a sort of rotating package within their marketing campaign. Finishline Motosports is a local Redding Area Moto mod shop. They needed a logo that would work well on shirts as well as large banners for motocross and other such events.

This project was contracted to us by Vital Signs.

Restoration Health tri-fold brochure design, layout and print. I love this client because they give us complete creative freedom. Everything we do for them is almost entirely our own. Incidentally they happen to be one of our most successful clients. So naturally we like to use them to advocate our desire to run the show – but the truth is, Read the rest of this entry »
