Low-Fi Fun


There is something to be said for free design, especially when it is for a gag for friends:)

I have some friends who moved to Costa Rica in November of 2010 and have since started an online marketing company and placed marketing material and videos with information explaining the business strategies and amazing locations they are able to live with such a choice of employment. Well, I took it upon myself to redirect the light openness of Tanya and Brandon initial ad by added my own personal sweetness, and companion= The Cookie Monster.

Sometimes even the most absurd "design" can be just as well thought out professionally produced projects, as this was reposted several times and linked with much delight and laughter.

The PDF we never knew...


Just a fast note here as i am rushing out the door for my day job.

Has anyone ever noticed how terrible Acrobat's save as jpeg option is in regards to end raster? Not much for settings even with Professional. I found some very old drafts for my portfolio and now stripping it all down as i need to build up my portfolio right proper finally. guess it matters not how much work i do, or the variety, if no one can see it or i do not represent it well in terms of presentation, online, or in hard copies.

Having a good Day!

I was lucky enough to have worked with Stockwell's program for a "greener Earth and transport program. The design in the background is on a bio banner with uncoated grommets (which usually have a coating to keep them from aging (and thus leech into the ground.) the inks were enviro-inks from Roland and although do not have a UV protection program they are perfect for temporary campaigns such as this program (temporary meaning it only get used a few times until a new series of designs gets used- not the actual concept of the client).

Jump to it!


With the new year approaching and the end of this very odd 2009, I am glad to say I am a lucky lucky Man.
I was given a Mac PowerBook from a total stranger and now have it up and running with new software to take on the designs and clients I have been sadly neglecting due to my G$ tower, as perfect as it once was, no longer was able to offer reliable functionality to complete, or even take on new work and offer deadline accuracy.
So, with great excitement I am proud to announce a new, fresh system with transport options intact, to create new art and design for all to enjoy!
Happy Holiday's and may the Peg within jump jump jump up for joy's of the World:)
Truly,
Dana Bourgeois,

Everything but Web....


To state the subject title is fairly accurate considering some of the design projects i get. This custom job was one of the funniest i have ever done, and as it turns out, one of the hardest jobs Chris Dekerf of Dekerf™ custom Bikes, has ever come across. Now the design was not hard, but the project overall, in my transport getting it there, being that it ways a heavy chunk of classic metal and Chris' reducing the paint to the original metal, and then creating the swirl process the Client, one creative Artist in her own right, deeply desired. By the time this simple paint reduction and DEcal design project was done, it totaled a larger portion of 3 weeks!

Overall, as i always LOVE to hear, she was happy, he was happy, and we all hugged and sang in cheering satisfaction. Another Peg Design Collaboration complete with a smiling client.

Now, isn't that Special.....
