It has been a crazy year. A lot of new and exciting things
going on. It was a great freelancing year, probably the best I have
ever had. Can’t wait for the government to take their “fair” share.
(sarcasm) The Lord has provided greatly this year. I am so thankful
I had a great year with extra work since the University had
furloughs this year. I will post more later about the Robeson book
which kept me busy this past year.

I have been continuing to design the materials for IStart. Just completed the letter that goes out to all incoming freshman to let them know what they need to do before they come. The Agenda for the Orientation and Class registration is on its way to the printer this week. Things are going good with this years IStart publications. The design is adapting itself very well to all kinds of different forms. The circle design is very flexible whether I am putting it on a flyer or postcard or even the giant folder project. I am very happy and pleased with it.

My new business cards just came yesterday. They look pretty cool. Thanks to Noupe and Allbusinesscards.com for getting me free business cards. There are also samples of these in my portfolio. The design I came up with works very well. Some people didn’t like the picture, but that didn’t stop me from using it. I like using gray in my designs which is now on the business cards and my website.
