Busy Weeks Are The Best!

I love my job.  Not only do I get to work with amazing clients and get the honor to promote their companies visually through the print and website world but I also get to be involved in a lot of projects at one time.  That is one thing I like about being a graphic designer and website designer.  I get to work on a variety of different projects in a high paced industry.

This week has been especially fun but very busy.  I thought I would share with you some samples of some projects I have worked on this week.  Now keep in mind some of these projects are complete while others are still in process but you can see a bit of the process I go through with projects.



Marymount Greenhills Retirement Center
These are some earlier proofs from this week of a Tri-Fold brochure I am creating for Marymount Greenhills Retirement Center.  The brochure is going now in a bit of a different direction due to the image I picked for the cover that they provided me is not actually their building but it can give you an idea of some great designs that never get to be seen by the public until now.

These are some preliminary website designs for a new client of mine Edie Chaska Design who does beautiful Interior Design work.  I am hopeful to hear comments and feedback next week.

Catalyst - Terrie Burns
I have been working with Terrie Burns on a couple of projects recently: developing a Constant Contact newsletter template and a redesign of her website: www.TerrieBurns.com  We just uploaded the files to her website this week.  Feel free to play around and look at her site.

Simply Inspired
I have been working the past couple of months with Susan Berke of Simply Inspired.  We created a new header for her Constant Contact emailer and now we just finalized an updated look to her business cards that corresponds more with her website look and feel.  It was nice to get them off to the printers this week and I can not wait to see them in person.

Bay Model Visitor Center
I have worked for the Bay Model Visitor Center for over 8 years now being their graphic designer and website designer.  Every other month I am in charge of creating their Bi-Monthly Calendar of Events.  This proof is in progress but a project that I just love because their educational programs are so informative about the environment.  Once their calendar is approved I will create press releases and flyers for each event, update their website, and add the events on various online calendars.

Ross Valley Wellness Center
I got a surprise email this week to work on a flyer for the Ross Valley Wellness Center.  Connie provided the content and I was in charge of adding a bit of color and images to Connie's newest flyer about Energetic Flu Vaccines to make it pop.  Everyone should go and try this wonderful option for your health.

Continental Jewelers
One of my very first clients - Continental Jewelers - who I maintain their website asked me recently if I would also maintain their FaceBook Business Page.  I said sure and because of their weekly and monthly posts I am able to also update their website with new designs from the shop.

Website Updates & Maintenance
Besides working on new projects I have also been maintaining some of my current client's websites.



So that is a little glimpse into the life of me right now and my client's projects.  Besides the above I also have been meeting with potential clients and have been sending out estimates for a future projects.  Please keep Susan Searway Art & Design in mind if you have any print or website needs.
