I could have posted this design competition announcement earlier, too bad I found about it late after digging links to some design forums when the submission deadline was only two days left to go. Veerle never provides email subscription to her blog, I got a little upset to my self, why I didn't subscribe to any feed reader before. The basic concept of this contest is to come up with something creative or witty that visualises the question 'What is Graphic Design?'. Veerle is the only judge and jury for the contest and she gathered attractive prizes to win from sponsors like Adobe Creative Suite CS3, Expression Engine CMS and much more.Veerle put forward her own poster design, and got interesting comments by other Flickr users. :D She used the same color scheme as shown on her blog, but the design visualized what Graphic Design is in different typos.The closing date was 15 February 2008, and the contest got the mass attention nearly up to 600 design submissions.

This design was completed a few days ago for an Event Planning company based in Atlanta. The Owner had specific requirements for the look - it should be based on the previous logo - the fireworks motif is used to convey the upscale/festive feeling of Polished Affairs. The Magenta color had to be present, and the text should be sleek. The logo should be easy to use in different print mediums.The Studio took the challenge of providing Polished Affairs with looks that could be used online and in print - in different mediums. There is a white based look for invoices and other collateral. And the black versions make the firework design really stand out. A text-only version adds greater flexibility.Very chic!

When it comes to email newsletter marketing for small businesses, there are several areas to consider such as design, monitoring results, software packages and outsourcing or in-house production. Let's take a look at each area:Design is tightly tied to the success of email marketing. You want to keep it simple so as not to overwhelm your recipients, but you also want it to look professional. You can have your newsletter appear as an HTML website or in text like a typical email. As you might imagine, the later is usually far less expensive.The rule of three is a simple guideline to follow. Keep your design to three topic areas of interest for each newsletter. Each area should have a title and a short 2-3 sentences about the full article located back on your blog, website or other online area. Make each compelling and easy to get to.Monitoring the results of your website is important as they can tell you what people are interested in, who's reading the newsletter and even automatically s

All Points Solutions is a growing company that provides wellness solutions. They are backed by a large venture firm called ITV Ventures. Both entities are fueled by a just the facts approach in the realm of health and information.So there would be no sparkly looks for them! The design had to be sleek and serious but not dull. I avoided the usual wellness motifs through the use of color in the logo instead of trees or apples or flowers or something:-). The simple square shapes and colors suggest sun, sky and earth without an actual picture to that effect. It has a strong, corporate-modern, and clean look.

Author: Michael J. HernandezPaperback: 672 pagesPublisher: Addison-Wesley Language: EnglishISBN: 0201752840(R) Programmers and software architects don't really make a conscious decision to design an application (particularly one with online exposure) around the three-tier model-view-controller design pattern anymore. Three-tier, largely because of its adaptability and stability, is the norm. All of which means you need a database to underpin each of your applications. Designing your databases correctly can make the difference between slow-running, complicated code and software that's speedy, modular, and easy to work with. Database Design for Mere Mortals prepares someone with only a passing familiarity with databases for the important job of building the persistence layer (also called the data model) for software.
