I designed a fold over business card for Armadillo Air that works as a mini table tent. It’s very easy to do, and will have more self life than just a regular business card.

David Mills of Southern Mills Custom Builders wanted a postcard to hand out to potential customers about his Christmas light hanging business. I suggested we do something funny and whimsical, which he agreed to. The finished product is what you see here. My best friend Kyle Jackson, gladly agreed to do the poses, and Cindy DuPaul took the photos.

  • Just about done with a new website, featuring a nifty Flash animation. We still need to include a few more things, but the site is live, so why not brag about it? FABco – Houston Rebar
  • Did I mention I joined a networking group? I don’t think so … It’s called BNI (Business Networking International). My group is called $pring Cha-Ching, and we meet every Tuesday at the Crescent Moon Wine Bar, from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. It makes me happy.
  • Really cool poster design for Jody Black (aka Aqua Mama). She is a Cruise Planner and Travel Agent, and is putting together a cruise for August 25-29. This poster uses the fonts Coronet LT Std and Insignia LT Std, which I received in my fancy new Adobe Font Folio 11. Click the picture below to see a super hi-res version.

  • Helping Smple Design Studio with some project overflow.
  • Byrne Medical returned from their SGNA trade show this week. When I get some photos, I’ll post them up.
  • Been working on a website design with Baker One Design. Hope to have it live this week!
  • Designed new product labels for Hoa Da Herbal Medicines (twenty to be exact). Here is how the labels look:

    • Hoa Da Herbal Medicines - Brain Power - Label

    Each label includes Vietnamese on one side, and English on the other. The type selection is simply VNI-Times and VNI-Helvetica, a free font. To get the Vietnamese characters to show up on the website was quite an ordeal. The process is as follows:

    • The client sends over a Word document with all the information in VNI-Times.
    • I use a free Java application called UnicodeConverter.jar, to convert the Word document from VNI-Times to Times New Roman. This is necessary because:
      • For the Vietnamese characters to show up correctly on the website, the characters have to be in Unicode format. It doesn’t matter if it’s converted to Times New Roman or what; it just has to be in a Unicode format. In the head of the website, the meta is set to charset=UTF-8.
      • For the characters to store correctly in the MySQL Database, the database has to be set to UTF-8.
