Construction sight

Here is a corporate identity I did for a construction company with over 25 years of experience in residential and light commercial construction in Ohio, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, Mississippi, and Louisiana, as well as expert witness consulting, and fraud prevention.

The big problem was, as a small, family-owned company, competing head-to-head with much larger, national companies, with huge marketing budgets, the owner needed his companies proposals to look like they could compete. So I developed a new logo and updated the company image, designing a clean, solid corporate look, with elements that I incorporated into their office and marketing materials, and also provided materials for their website.

Rapport cards

This was great fun for me. I designed this entire deck of 54 animal cards, and I saw it through every step of the publishing process, including package design. I am currently working on designs for a new box for the second printing.

Animals Tell the Truth, Wisdom Cards

Carpet diem!

This is a marketing piece I just designed for a great company that does disaster clean-up and restoration. The owner seized a great opportunity to promote themselves to their new neighbors, a doggie day care. With discounts and special offers targeted specifically to dog owners!

Good taste!

Here are a couple of black & white sponsor ads I'm working on for a program, for the Heights Youth Club annual "Taste of the Heights" fund raising event. It's a great fun night where dozens of local restaurants donate their time and best of all, their amazing food. There is live music and some amazing prize auctions. If you get the chance to go you should, not only is it a wonderful event, but the Heights Youth Club is amazing organization, and very deserving of our support!

When does it make sense to self publish?

If you're a successful business person, a book could help you promote yourself as an expert. Having a book to sell could be great compliment at events were you've been asked to speak.  If you've been writing a blog for some time now to promote yourself as an expert, you probably already have enough great material archived to make a great book. Often you can write the initial expenses against marketing, and  the book can even begin to pay for itself as you sell copies of your books to clients and at speaking engagements and lectures.

It makes sense to self publish, if you can hire someone to do some, or all the work for you. Self-publishing isn't just for people who have written a memoir, cookbook or family history that they want to share with family and friends. Below are just two of the books I've helped people to publish. If you'd like to self-publish book, but don't want to do all the work, I can help. Send me an email and I can tell you how.
