I had no problem. So soon enough she said that she would "review" me as well. I began to ask her what she needed and she needed a new identity for herself and her company so I was happy to help!<br />
<br />
She didn't exactly know what she wanted, all she knew was that she loved owls and she loved gemstones. I had a bit of trouble making the perfect owl for her but eventually I made one that she loved. I then began my work and turned it into an OOAK (one of a kind) logo! <br />

Here are some tips:</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span">With your banner design give your customer a good idea of what they will find in your shop. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span">Make sure your banner ties in with the colors and branding of your business. I love using images from the customers products. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Use your banner to share more about your business WITHOUT making your banner to busy..Don't OVERFILL your banner with to much information. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">It is okay to look at all of the similar business banners out like your business. Don't try to imitate their designs make sure you do something DIFFERENT.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">A Great banner means nothing without a great product images. Make sure you take great photos. FotoFuse is an awesome tool. </span></span></li>
</ol><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Once you feel you have answered these questions Check out my etsy shop and </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">order a custom banner for yourself. Banners start at just $5 and you can add, matching blogs, product packaging labels, facebook and twitter banners and so much more.</span></span></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"></span></span></span></div>Kristin Nicholashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10673081420208965529noreply@blogger.com0
