Happy Monday

Today has been a good day so far and it's only 12pm!

I've had a couple of emails requesting quotes for Logos, business cards, facebook welcome pages, gift vouchers and letterheads. I also received a phone call from a mate of someone I did business cards for a few weeks ago wanting a quote for the same!

I'm also in the process of finalising the template for Kylie Grima's Facebook Page for her UndercoverWear business, and waiting to hear back from Minuteman that the bookmarks for Mrs Mills are ready!!

All in all it's been a busy couple of weeks.

BDD was mentioned in Sweet Cheek Crafts' blog this morning with our June Specials, along with some other great work at home businesses:

I've also been working with Renee from Sweet Cheek Crafts & Sweet Cheek Parties to create a party decor range. She showed me a photo of the first two designs that we've started on! They look so good. I can't wait to see the whole range when they're all finished.

On a slightly different note: What a shame about the Socceroos going down 4-0 in the early hours of this morning. I set my alarm for 2.30am, got up and lay on the couch to watch it. I think I dozed off at half time and missed Germany's last two goals and Cahill's red card. I say "BRING BACK TRIMMERS"!!! Haha. Paul Trimboli was my most favourite player when I was growing up. I even met him twice, once in Darwin in 1989 and again in Perth in 1998. I thought he was awesome! I even used to use the #9 shirt when I played because he did!

And watching 60 Minutes or Sunday Night last night I did not recognise Craig Johnston when they did the story on the Socceroos. He did not look like the same superstar that I had dinner with in Darwin in 1989!!

Friday Night Special

Do you have a business? Are you in need of a logo?

Tonight only (Friday 11th June) Berry Digital Designs is having a special on logo design.

Logo Design - $60
You will receive 4 versions of your logo once you are happy with the design.
1 x CMYK hi-res jpg
1 x MONO hi-res jpg
1 x RGB lo-res jpg
1 x MONO lo-res jpg

And if required you will also receive a PNG version of your logo.

Get in quick - there is only 7.5 hours left until midnight (WST) when this special ends.

We also have a special running for the month of June - Flyers (95x210mm) designed and printed for $85 + postage. Email BerryDigitalDesigns@westnet.com.au or check out our facebook page www.facebook.com/BerryDigitalDesigns for more information on both specials!

I WON, I WON, I WON!!!!!!

The Logo Competition was finalised today. I had a total of 42 votes on my logo design. I can't thank everyone enough for voting for my design. I wonder what I will choose as my prize now! I have already had Renee from Sweet Cheek Crafts contact me with a query about business cards.

I have had a very busy couple of days designing business cards, a letterhead and brochure for "La Goulue". Susana has sent me lots of photos of her cheesecakes to put into her brochure and they look so yum! Pity she's all the way over in another country and I don't get to sample them!

I also had an email from my mum asking if I could do a design for their business cards and magnets as Vistaprint were having a big special on this weekend and they wanted to get some printed through there. The special sounded really good so I've decided to design and order myself some too. 250 cards for FREE!! Well they've ended up costing me around $35 to be printed, by the time I get charged for uploading the front image, the back image and pay for postage. I still think it's pretty good! I saved myself the same as what I'm paying almost. They should look 100% better than the ones I did myself on that perforated card paper!

That's about it for today! Just wanted to share my good news!!

Logo Competition & First International Query

I've entered myself into a logo competition (twice). A company was looking for a new logo.

We are looking for a unique digital logo that we can use on marketing material such as business cards, stickers, etc as well as as our Facebook logo.

The entry with the most votes at midnight on Friday, 21st May will win a Sweet Cheek Crafts gift voucher worth $40.  To vote you need to "like" Sweet-Cheek-Crafts, go into their Photos, find the Competition Album and type "VOTE" under the logo that you like the best.


To be honest, I haven't really looked into their products closely to see what I would like to spend my $40 voucher on, I just thought I'd have a go to build up  my profile a little bit.

FIND MY ENTRY HERE #6 AND #23



Thought I'd add photos here too:

This first one I really liked but did up about 12 different colour schemes before I found the right one. I chose the brown and pink because that is the colour scheme on their blog.

The second one I whipped up yesterday in about 15 minutes while I was bored!!! I think it's cute too, but I still like the first one best.




On another exciting note... a Facebook Jovi friend has a business making cheesecakes and she's asked me if I could create a logo and then implement it on all her stationery, business cards, flyers, etc, etc! And she also needs the boxes for her cheesecakes designed too. I am soooooo excited!

She lives in Mexico, so unfortunately I cannot taste her cheesecakes that look so scrumptious in her photos! All she is waiting for now is a business name!! She has come up with a few and we were brainstorming over MSN yesterday. I think she's going to poll her family to find which one she should use.

I'm getting ideas in my head already for the logo, but it's a little bit hard to attempt anything without a name! Hopefully it won't take too long before I can start on something.

Oh, and I've already been asked to quote on doing up some Greeting Cards for another Facebook Jovi friend.

Gotta love the Bon Jovi Family from all over the world :)

Long time no write!!!

Well it's been quite a while since I updated my blog. Probably around 3 months!! I could say it's a good thing that I haven't had time to jump on here, that just means business has been busy... or it could also mean that I've been getting too engrossed in my FB games :-D

Business has been good. Pretty much one job a fortnight. I can't complain about that as I'm still trying to get word around. I have to say though, that without family (and you Aunty Pauline) I wouldn't have had 3/4 of the work that I have had.

My cousin who runs a hair salon contacted me last week for business cards and gift vouchers. She thought she'd go through me rather than their usual place. And another cousin last night said that they need more business cards too and should get me to design them some new ones. Like I said, you gotta love family.

I self promoted a couple of weekends ago to a friend of a friend who said they hadn't done thank you cards for their wedding yet. In the end I got the pleasure of designing the cards for them, and they required 90 of them!

I don't think I have much else to write apart from I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter, and check out my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perth-Australia/Berry-Digital-Designs/349895420441?ref=ts
