Creating one of a kind graphics is fun, exciting, rewarding and
challenging. It's frustrating at times too but the end result is what makes it all worth while. Depending on the
project, it can also be time consuming. I will do my best to make the technical aspects of the ordering process as easy as
I can. I'll try to make my instructions easy to follow, but also as specific as possible.
Whether you
are looking for a custom logo, a t-shirt transfer design, a book cover or images for your blog; I will work one on one with
you to make it the best it can be.
*All of my "designs"
are made with things that I own, purchased online, downloaded for free or obtained through various memberships. Free
free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.
Design Process:
Step 1: Choosing color for your image. Colors on the web follow different
parameters than in everyday life. You could tell me you want a blue background but without specific information on the shade
I would have no idea which one to choose. With a web color chart, all you need to do is give me the decimal or hex code for
the appropriate color. This process will eliminate any errors.

Step 2: Decide what type of image you want portrayed on your project. I have
access to millions of images so I wouldn't worry about me not being able to find it. If you require a hand drawn image,
don't worry. As long as the detail isn't to intricate I should be able to get it done. It may however take longer
than a standard item. If I can't do it I will be up front and honest with your right from the get go.
For personal pictures you will be required to sign a release form allowing me
to use the image. This can be emailed or faxed to you. Online stock images will require proof of purchase. Certain restrictions
may apply.
Step 3: It's time to choose what type of font you want for the text on
your design. There are literally thousands to choose from. If you have ever used Microsoft Word© you might be familiar
with the different fonts they have included in the program. With the programs I use, I have access to almost any font you
can think of. If I don't have it; I will get it. You may also want to combine similiar style fonts for added effect.
Step 4: Here is where the glitz and glam come in. It that's what you're into of course! Think about what kind
of embellishments you may want in your design. Some examples are: rain, clouds, lightening, ribbons, swords...etc. The
sky is the limit.
Step 5: We are almost to the end of the design process. Now you need to decide if there are
any additional elements you want to include in your design. If your project is a Book Cover, you may want to add a personal
photo of yourself on the back of the book with a short bio. Remember, this project is all about you. I am just the vessel
that will get you where you want to go.
