Heart of Texas Logo Design

Kimberly Fowler of Heart of Texas Real Estate Group wanted a logo that set her real estate company apart from all the other logos that featured the state of texas and a heart in various forms. After talking with her, we decided including the elements of the horse and the state flag of texas. I created a one color design as well for use on business cards as a foil stamp or metallic ink.

Woodcrafters Cabinetry Advertisement Flyer Design

Woodcrafters needed something to leave behind with potential customers that had more information about their cabinet and countertop installation company. The design had to be consistent with their existing marketing materials and target two types of customers. The main message was directed at remodeling home owners but the design also had to appeal to builders.

Woodcrafters Cabinetry is a cabinet company in Greer, SC. They carry many popular cabinet lines such as Kraftmaid and Blackstone Cabinetry. You can visit their website here.

A checklist of things to include on your business’ gift certificate design:

• Make it simple and professional, if you are printing it out and designing it.
• Make sure the design has the essentials. TO, FROM, AMOUNT, and AUTHORIZED BY. Always include all of your business information and website as with any marketing piece! The recipient might not know where your store is!
• Print it on heavy weight matte or paper so your customer can easily write on it. The weight of paper is for durability and professionalism. The recipient might not redeem the certificate for months so you want it to last.
• You can easily fit 3 certificates per page. A good idea is to make it the size of a dollar bill so it can easily fit in a wallet.
• Security might not be an issue, if you plan on selling 10 to 20 certificates. If you plan on selling hundreds, you might want to put a type of watermark so it is difficult to photocopy (see example below).

Cabinets and Tops Advertisement Design and photography

One of my great clients, Cabinets and Tops needed an advertisement for the Greenville News. They designed a kitchen for an upscale builder in Tuscany Falls in Greenville, SC. I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful kitchen. For the ad layout, I wanted to create an eye catching design to match the dramatic photography. I played off of a fairytale story theme to add interest.

Cabinets and tops ad Design by Photo Graphics - Ran in the Greenville News

This ad design was ran earlier this month (November) in the Greenville News. I wanted to deliver a simple message that Cabinets and Tops satisfies all of their customers. What better way than to add a testimonial to the ad! The headline combined with the white space draws viewers in to read more.

Screen Printing Step by Step

I created this graphic awhile back to illustrate the screen printing process and help my customers understand the process. Screen printing is one of the simplest printing process, but it is probably the one that requires the most imagination to get to the end result.

I get a few calls a month asking to do one t-shirt with a photo on it. While I would like to help these customers out, it takes a minimum of 4 colors to reproduce an image which means 4 separate screens. Most screen printers charge $15 a screen, making just the set up for the shirt $60. A much more economical method to print just one shirt is direct to garment inkjet printers. These are much like your home inkjet printers but on a larger scale. Although there aren’t any printers in the Greenville SC area yet, you can buy one shirt online for around $20 (from instashirt.com).

For orders over 24 t-shirts, we can help you out!

Rosewood Communities trusted Photo Graphics to create a blog to give home buyers their most up-to-date information on communities and new homes in Greenville, SC.

Photo Graphics can set up blogs for less money than you think. Blogs are great because once they are set up, anybody can write a post! For Rosewood’s site, I invite the new home builders to post incentives for buyers as well as write posts on new communities progress.

I kind of like the “R” turned into a Rooster head but it is a little different from what they are wanting. I like to give my clients a few options besides even what they think they want because sometimes they end up loving it!
