"People said movies would be the death of theater, TV would be the death of radio and color film would replace black and white. They were wrong. The same holds true for print vs. web." Have you heard about the "Power of Print"…

Print is not dead!!!

Found an interesting blog entry about print. People said movies would be the death of theater, TV would be the death of radio and color film would replace black and white. They were wrong. The same holds true for print vs. web. The blog I read concluded that "print is dying as a standalone against the web, but used as an additionit can be a powerful tool."People still like to pick up books and magazines and flip through them. Images still speak to us. We still have this innate need to touch…See More

Hello and welcome to our community! What type of magazine are you starting?

6thAveConcepts replied to Edouard Fan's discussion 'I want to start a small magazine. Help?'

What kind of price range are you looking for in printing? Depending on the size of the magazine, you could try OfficeMax. Their Impress Department can handle small jobs. Another source can be found here:…

6thAveConcepts replied to Daniel Nee's discussion 'Questions a year later on national advertisers!'

I don't have any experience in finding advertisers. I'm looking forward to hearing what others have to say about this. Are you wanting to produce issues monthly all year? Is it possible to cut back a little in the off-season? I helped put…

I am a graphic designer with over 19 years of design experience. I started in the graphic design field straight out of high school and, since 1990, I have worked for 4 newspapers in Indiana and Ohio. During that time I've worked on several one-shot magazine format publications, monthly coupon/advertising magazines and, for 3 years, a monthly, 230+ page real estate magazine. Since 2007 I have been trying to make a go at it as a freelance designer.

If it can be printed I have done it, can do it or learn how to do it ... LOL

Sometimes you do get what you pay for...

One of the banes of Graphic Designers are the cookie cutter and low-budget services that you can find online. Since we're all looking for affordability and making our dollar stretch, services like this are quite alluring. However, I found a blog at http://tinyurl.com/dlbasp that really illustrates how you get what you pay for. This blog reviewed the website 50 dollar logo.com (no spaces). The 50 dollar logo site guarantees amazing logos with UNLIMITED… Continue

Invitation Designs

Just returned home from the printers with my latest project. Wedding invitations and matching RSVP cards. The client requested a simple invitation. Normally I design invitations featuring the bride and groom's picture but this time just the text and 2 pink calla lilies will be on the card.

The matching RSVP card is a direct-mail response card. Guests can simply drop the card in the mail with no need for an envelope.

Invitation 8.5x5.5 inches…

Changing Logos with the Times

I went to a mall last weekend and looked at all the old signage they had on display. Past by old Pepsi signs and enjoyed seeing the old logo. Pepsi's changed their logo a number of times since they began.

Then I passed some old Coca-Cola signs and I noticed something. Coke really HASN'T changed their logo much over their life. Pepsi, being newer, has changed and changed yet Coke remains the same.

Why is that? Why is it some companies feel the need to update and change… Continue
