Well, I am elated to announce that the master graphic designer who created my website has agreed to sign on to design and create the calendar layout.  Scot Scott is THE MAN when it comes to creating kool and unique concepts, he picks-up on what your needs are and nails the design every time.  He even worked at Electronic Arts because – he’s that good… !   Check out his company website, BioHertz.com.

So far, I have seen some early stage mock-ups of the calendar and it is looking amazing!  Today I also picked an official UPC Barcode, to be placed into the design, so that I can sell the calendar to just about any retailer, small or large (i.e. Amazon.com, Walmart, etc.).  Here it is:

Today we launched our new photo touch-up service.  Started advertising on Facebook Ads. I am interested to see if this will be of interest to people.  Typically I automatically do these enhancements for clients when I am looking at their final proofs.  However, I think now it makes sense to start charging for these services since it eats up a lot of my time per photo. I have kept the pricing very low to accommodate the type of audience and purpose prospective customers will be using the service.  Direct clients of the studio will be receiving a more complex and comprehensive touch-up service and therefore will see a higher fee.

Ciao, Michael
