As students approach collegiate-level sports placement, and as recruiters look for the exact positions they’re going to need for their line-up in coming years – TNL is situated as the place they both turn to.

Members can use the online booking and scheduling page, driven by Appointy.com, to make appointments for the coming week. There’s a place for the growing membership to be featured in the athlete gallery so that recruiters can identify the athletes that meet their needs. TNL has an additional service that will even provide sports highlight reel videos right on each athlete’s gallery entry.

TNL’s web site helps to position themselves smack dab in the nexus of this critical time for student athletes with social media connectivity and old-fashioned skill honing so that they can truly help their members take their game to The Next Level.

This vertical orientation on glossy black, against the rich gold and grey satin tones of her logo gave her all the presence she hoped for. Her tag line, “Capturing the art of your life” was placed prominently at the top to catch the eye. A nice heavy weight stock finished out the wow factor to give her card that extra appeal as she passed it out.

The back of the card is an edge-to-edge print of the logo in the repeating pattern I made for her just after the original logo was finished, although this was also turned for the vertical orientation and her web site address added to it.

Local printer, Alphagraphics, was able to get them done for her in a matter of days in plenty of time for the event.

Echoing the three key missional statements of the church, Reach Up, Reach Over, and Reach Out; all stories are categorized there on a menu bar, and basic information pages on a secondary menu bar on the right side. This standard navigation is echoed throughout the site.

Featuring an integrated Google Calendar, a direct hook to PayPal for contributions, and an integration of the Daily Bible Reading, along with a news feed to denomination stories of interest, the new web site delivers information and social network connectivity to every visitor.

The store uses a customized ZenCart shopping cart with soft, clean colors and design. Taking the cues from this, the Daisies and Dimples WordPress blog is integrated with the same look and feel:

I knew the sermon series would last past the Easter season, so I purposefully did not go towards a Passion Week theme or colors. Instead, I thought of nothing more passionately visual than … painting.

All of the supporting media for all three screens coordinated with the base design for the printed program:

Coordinating graphics filled all three front screens in the Sanctuary.

We’ve selected a Word Press platform for their web site, customized it to their look and feel for their first web presence.

The web site needed to echo their values and remain small enough to be manageable by this family-owned mail order business. A redesigned logo was placed on top of a dramatic waving American flag for the title section.

Because it’s Word Press, their new web site is still extensible and was easy for them to learn to make their own price changes and post their monthly sales in the user-friendly WordPress Dashboard and editor.

The strengths of this design was perfect for Glory Xray.com since it gave them featured tabs on the front page that would clearly highlight their business’s strong points, but still allows visual activity on the web page with the slideshow of related images.

Coordinating with the colors of the table decor for the event, I used their name, their slogan and a simple plaque to hold their names.

Laminating the back side of these lightly to protect against condensation, a velcro dot or two holds it in place so that the people always know which is their water bottle. I’m hoping my friend comes back with a snapshot of a bottle all dressed up to share here.

So I mirrored the two Js, wrapped the S around the center, and it came to life!

There’s a business card back made from a pattern of these little fleurs, too. I built an offset pattern from the duo-toned version, resizing it until it looked good on the back of a business card.  It turned out even better than I’d hoped.

“Yes, I think so, too,” was my understated reply. He had a state of the art 1990-something 1-color, quick clip-art card which he’d been using for many years.

Generally, when someone needs a locksmith, they need them right now. They’re probably not near their desk, their computer, or their home – and might not even be able to get to any of those things … until the locksmith arrived. So I knew this business card needed to be a keeper for everyone he gave it to.

Here’s the final version he decided on. I’ve got one in my wallet! I hope you never lock yourself out of your car or your home, but if you do – he’s your go-to guy!

He had them printed at VistaPrint and they turned out perfect in print. They did an excellent job at the solid black background; that’s a weak spot for a lesser-quality press.
