Greetings!
Good Design is Good Business.
Design Matters -- especially if your business matters to you.
As we welcomed 2012, and looked back over 2011, we noticed a trend in the types of projects that consistently come our way.
With that in mind, we have renamed our e-news, "Design Matters," where we will continue to share monthly "tips, trends and tales," as they pertain to our three primary lines of business: - DESIGN FOR BUSINESS. More than great graphic design, we help our clients create a great identity with strategic design concepts -- from custom logos, to business marketing materials, to web-based graphics. With over 25 years experience (each) in working for for Fortune 100 and Fortune Top-10 corporations, we bring a global perspective with a micro-level insight to help their clients "Define, Design & Deliver" their message to their consumer.
- DESIGN FOR PUBLISHING. Great book design is more than ink on paper. We work with authors and publicists across the country to help design books that sell. As a certified Professional Author Consultant, Cathy serves as Publishing Project Manager, helping authors navigate the self-publishing process -- from creating connections with ghost-writers and editors, through cover and interior design, through printing, marketing and promotion.
- DESIGN FOR LIFE. Planting Seeds of Positive Perspective at UPSIdaisy.com, this "once-time-hobby" website grew by leaps and bounds in 2011, and our custom designs were printed on a variety of products and shipped all around the world. Our messages of hope, inspiration and humor touched households in the US, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, the Solomon Islands, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and more!
We hope you continue to follow us we create positive ripples -- be it around the corner or around the globe -- through our Design for Business, Design for Publishing or Design for Life.
If not, we understand your choice to opt out of future mailings -- you can do so at the top of this e-news -- and we wish you well in all your future endeavors.
For more information about our philosophy of
"Good Design is Good Business," give Cathy a call at 314-374-7481.

PUBLISHING WORLD
8 Reasons Why Amazon.com's
Price Check App Is Not Your Enemy
December 27, 2011 | Ramon Ray
Editor and Technology Evangelist, Smallbiztechnology.com
Amazon.com is not a "friend" or 'foe' to small businesses. It's in business, just like we all are to make money. That money is made by selling something someone wants and making a profit. It's having great products, great customer service and whatever other things-marketing or hiring the right staff-that make our businesses competitive. Amazon.com has an app, the Price Check app, that makes it easy for you to search for a price on a product and see the price on Amazon.com.
Amazon.com has caused some controversy in the small business retail world, politicians and advocacy groups by giving folks a 5% discount if they checked a local retailer's price on the app and then bought the product from Amazon.com. Hard for retailers to compete against that? Sure. Sleazy? No.

COLOR CONSCIOUS
Tangerine Tango:
The Bright, Encouraging Color of 2012By AYLIN ZAFAR | December 9, 2011
 The color specialists at Pantone hope the orangey-red hue will give us optimism for the next 12 months. The world is about to look a lot more vivid: the Pantone Color Institute has named "Tangerine Tango," a radiant red-orange, as the top color of 2012. The color experts have been amping up their selections each year, with the serene and calming turquoise in 2010 giving way to 2011's honeysuckle, a warm, reddish-pink color meant to lift spirits and instill confidence. But the current economic climate and frustrations call for something bolder this coming year. Pantone has turned to the "spirited reddish-orange" hue to "provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward." READ MORE HERE
