We watched the rain come and go all day long…but as I learned, rain and clouds make for some very beautiful and dramatic images.

ScoreCardRewards.com Banner Graphics for 4th Quarter

4th Quarter Holiday Series for rewards website.

Considerations: My goal was to find a solution that spoke to a diverse audience with a homogenized holiday appeal. Banner graphics in order: Log-in, welcome, merchandise and travel. I also had to find a solution that worked well displaying several hundred client logos on the right side of the banners. www.istockphoto.com provided a fabulous resource for images independent images for my composites. I brushed in the snow effects with a Wacom tablet and created the snowballs for the Log-in page in Photoshop. (Fun. Fun. Fun.)

Shoestring Budgets With Champaign Tastes

Casino Night Invitation

Casino Night Social Invitation

For those of you who, like me, are always attracted clients who desperately need a high-class solution on a SHOESTRING BUDGET…you know just how important it is to have an arsenal of vendors who offer cheap and cheerful solutions as resources that won’t break anyone’s bank! This is why I love VistaPrint.com! They offer great pricing on small quantities. If you are a graphic designer, you will know how to push those custom uploadable templates to the MAX. This particular client has no budget. They are non-profit and always, “need the cheapest possible solution.”

So, with a little creativity and an iStockPhoto.com account, you can create an expensive-looking custom invitation on an $83 budget!!!
