j.d. llama estates, inc.
I've moved with this customer from her original card for only Carnegie Antiques printed in black on white to her transition to a multi-part small business that features professional estate sales and appraisals and her original store, Carnegie Antiques. I've not only redesigned her logo, in designing her website I've become her photographer as well, and what a pleasure when something we post on the website one week is purchased the next!
About working with me, Judi says: "I have been involved in the antique business for a long time and I was finally ready to introduce myself and my services to the world. I wanted to have my business represented in a manner that would really let people know what I have accomplished as well as paint a picture of what all of my accumulated experiences could do for them. Bernadette not only accomplished this using her computer graphics and artistic skills, but actually took the time to study the business and put herself in my place. I felt that I was being represented by one of the top experts in my own field. This to me is someone who truly believes that my success is not only important, but inevitable."
logo
I've moved with this customer from her original card for only Carnegie Antiques printed in black on white, through the two logos and business cards below which utilized clip art and type...

...to this design for Carnegie Antiques, which includes one of the photographs in the first series I took for the customer as we began to reconfigure her image...

...and this for the entire group of companies the owner runs.
website
All the photography on the site is mine obtained in multiple, and continued, visits to her store to keep up with what sells and what's newly available, and I also wrote the text, with slight corrections from the customer. In addition, I advise her in promotions and marketing techniques, and keep the website current for all of these activities; it's probably clear that I'm the webmaster on this site. Visit her website at www.jdllamaestates.com.
post cards for general use and events
- concept and design are mine, original photos are mine
- "Bracelet" is blank on the back to be used for either mailing or as a leave-behind, "Open House" was used for the event
- digitally printed in full color on gloss stock

product photography
All that merchandise has to be represented somehow, so Judi and I choose a number of things that are to be featured from various categories of merchandise, such as jewelry, housewares, furniture and the like.
