Wedding Save the Date

While freelancing at a lovely place up the street that feels like home, I put together the following Save the Date card directions for a bride who will be having an elegant catholic wedding next summer. Her colors will be black, cream, and burgundy with lots of lacy details throughout the evening.



I really like the type treatment on the one above. It works nicely with the Victorian textile pattern and the original intentions of the bride.



The negative space of this layout makes it a more contemporary choice. The decor behind the type becomes almost iconic. Wedding invitations along with everything that go with them, the program, RSVP card, directions, invite, etc. are a lot of fun putting together.

MacBook Pro Users

Note to all MacBook Pro Users: Apple is not making the AC adapter available for 4-6 more weeks, and all of Atlanta is sold out of them, including Apple Lenox, Apple Perimeter, Apple North Point, and Fry's. So take extra care of your adapter, because if something happens to it, hope you have a friend with a MacBook Pro.

The Breakdown Promotional

The Breakdown CD package is almost done! Hooray! It's been an exciting journey for their debut EP, Thoughts Lost in Yellow Lines. This set we will be sending to DiscMakers, who specializes in the types of runs these guys are doing. Turn around time can vary, but they promise 2 weeks for the print material and 3 weeks for the tshirts. Just a couple more steps and we're through.

That's all for now. Drop me a line, and let me know what you guys think.

Compromized

A word to the wise: make backups of all the information on your computer and make sure to get a security system as soon as possible. Also, secure your house as much as you can by going to a hardware store in your area where there are lots of little gadgets to make it more difficult for thieves to get into your humble abode.

I recently spoke to a former politician in our area who now is developing areas around our county and had to increase security around his properties due to the increasing crime rate. He mentioned the decrease in the housing market has caused an increase in unemployment in our county. How sad a situation it is for this niche of our population resorting to thievery in order to pay the bills. And the former politician also said that the crime will only get worse.
