I’m still here… LOL

January 27, 2010

Yes… I’m still desinging. I am quite busy with it and actually have several complete re-branding projects to post… just haven’t had time to do it! I have had several inquiries as of late so I wanted to give an update (I know it seems like I fell of the face of the earth… ha ha). I currently have a backlog of projects that will likely take me several months to tackle. FYI if you want to inquire about my availability it is much better to e-mail me (at stephanie_morvant@hotmail.com) rather than leaving a comment… I get a lot of spam and tend to overlook comments because of that… I might not see your comment until a month after you leave it!  Anyhoo… whenever I get the chance I’ll post some of the new stuff I’ve been working on!

just posting some new stuff!

August 28, 2009

So I’m miserable and suffering with flu-like symptoms at the moment… and taking a few days off to recover… just fyi as I may not answer calls/e-mails for a few days… but I’ll get back to you when I can…

Krysia: Oh no Stephanie! I hope you feel better soon. (((HUGS)))

admin: awwww ... thanks Krysia.... I am now feeling MUCH better!

So…. due to an overwhelming number of inquiries (thanks yall, I’m so touched) and my always lingering list of projects… I’m going to need to make some changes. I am revising my pricing and the way I do things a bit. Ever since I started this venture 2 years ago, I have always had a waiting list…. usually a LOOOOOONG waiting list. Some people have had to wait 8 months or more. Finally I started having to tell people I just couldn’t do it…. I could not add even one more project to this insane list. I hate that I keep having to turn away wonderful people because I just can’t keep up with the volume of projects I’m juggling. It’s totally no one’s fault and it just kills me to tell people… “I’m so sorry… I just can’t.” I LOVE doing this. I LOVE design. I want EVERYONE to be able to have a fabulous business identity that they love. I am always honored when someone asks me to play a part in defining their business. I so enjoy getting to ‘meet’ and know so many great talented individuals. I wish I could take every. single. project. for ever person that approaches me… but alas… I can’t do it at the expense of my family so I have to set limits. For me, it just plain sucks to say “no.”

So… to try and even the playing field a bit and give opportunity to those who I would otherwise be forced to turn away…… I’ve decided two things…

#1 I’m going to give first priority to those who are committed to purchasing my largest collection… and at this moment in time I am currently juggling 4 Whole-Kit-and-Kaboodle projects and have a few more waiting in the wings…

#2 I’m going to add in the option to expedite for those who REALLY want/need a total re-branding and are willing to pay extra for it. The price tag for this will be an extra $300 added to the cost of your purchase and it will put your project at the very top of my list.

I’ve always heard that if you are too busy then you are too cheap. I have raised my rates bit by bit over the last two years…. but I hate to keep going up higher and higher. I have always said that I wanted to be affordable enough for the ‘average joe’ like myself. These new changes are less about trying to make more money and more about limiting the daily inquiries I’m getting to those who are truly serious and committed to this whole process. Thanks so much for understand!

xo,

stephanie

teresa: Good for you! You are so talented at what you do and this business plan makes total sense. I will be saving my $ for when I am ready for a makeover!

Pre-made design…

I would love to do more of these…. just so hard to find the time… I drew this cute little gown and these swirls and I thought they needed a home.

This set sells for $500.

It includes:

Logo

Business card

Letterhead

Marketing card

Sticker designs x2

Blog banner

Splash page

Large set of digital papers

colors are ‘as is’

EDITED… so I decided to make a more generic form of this logo incase someone was interested in it but was not a wedding photographer…. either of these is available but it can only be sold once!

The fabulous and very talented Lisa Lucky!!!

A couple of wonderful ladies who took the plunge and got the complete whole kit and kaboodle… I didn’t even have room to include the custom papers on here but they are also part of the package…

Deborah and Nichole… I adore you both and I LOVE these designs…  hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them!!!

And another really fun design for Kristi… thanks girlie… enjoyed working with you!!!

Kristi: Thank you so much Steph! I feel so lucky I got to have you do my design! I've had many compliments on my logo and I think it is just perfect! You're the best!

Nichole Olsen: Thanks a million times over and over again girlie! You took my vision right out of my head of what I wanted and created the perfect business design! I couldn't of asked for anything more amazing than what you did. You are a true artist!!! You totally ROCK!!! Many thanks again! xoxo ~Nichole

Just wanted to post an update to say I’m so totally swamped with projects and requests that I’m not adding anything new to my plate for a while. So sorry… I’m trying to have more balance in my life and living on little-to-no sleep and not spending time with my family is just not cool. Between being a full-time mom, a part-time nurse, a part-time photographer, and a part-time designer… I just feel like I’m drowning sometimes. Right now I’m overwhelmed. If you have e-mailed me in the last week and not heard back… please accept my sincerest apologies… I am trying to go through my inbox when I can to follow up!

CRAZY busy…

Hey yall…

So at the beginning of this week I was breathing a sigh of relief and fulfillment for having completed everything I had on my ‘current project list.’ I even followed up on some previous inquiries. Now… 3 days later… I’m suddenly up to my eyeballs again…. LOL…

Anyhoo… I have several e-mails in my inbox that I need to go through and reply to but just haven’t had the chance to sit down and DO it yet! If you are waiting to hear from me… I’m so so sorry for the delay… I haven’t forgotton you… give me a couple of days…

A few logos to share…

Kimi Boustany: Hi... I am a member of the Phaunt forum and someone posted your info as a designer. So being bored on a Friday night I clicked the link. How happy I was to run across this flier. I saw it posted in the vets office. I liked it so much I took a picture of it with my camera phone. Loved the Polaroid frame and immediately came home and made something as close as I could. I loved the simplicity of the flier. It seemed to draw you in. So now I have to ask... I am in Laf. are you local? ~kimi~
