The Way I See It

What Is Your Rope Tied To?

I heard an old wives' tale about a man who decided to repair the roof of his house. Since the roof was steep, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of the rope over the top of the house and asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy tied the rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. Shortly after, the man's wife needed to run a few errands. Unaware of the rope securing her husband, she drove away. The rope immediately jerked and sent the man sailing through the air.

Here's the way I see it: Some people have their safety lines tied to the wrong things. What is your rope tied to? Do you cling to your career? Your home? Material objects? Sometimes it's good to step back and evaluate where you've attached your rope to make sure you're hitched to something stable and reliable. Next time you're struggling to hold on, look to us for help with important projects so you can focus on more important things.

Idea of the Week
Marketing with QR Codes

Surely you've noticed a QR code in a magazine, flyer, or at a trade show? QR codes are typically a square box that resembles a barcode that is designed to be scanned by a mobile device in order to reveal a web link or marketing message.

Generating a QR Code for your business is a very easy process. There are several free websites that will help you generate a free QR code, such as www.quikqr.com . Here are a few helpful tips to ensure a successful QR campaign:

  • Determine a goal for your QR campaign. Why do you want people to scan your code? To sign up for something? Download a free sample?
  • Since QR codes are downloaded via a cell phone or mobile device, ensure your QR code directs to a mobile website.
  • Start with compelling content. Just because you can create a QR code in seconds doesn't mean your message is ready to be revealed.
  • Guide your users. The majority of mobile users are not familiar with QR codes or how to scan them. Offer a brief explanation of what the code is and how to access it.
  • Remember that URL length is important. The longer the URL, the more complex the QR code image. A shorter link can mean a less detailed code, which is also a better option when scanned quickly or with a poor quality camera phone.
  • Consider adding a QR code to the "contact us" section of your website so users can easily download your contact information.
  • Use QR codes as a fun and easy way to direct the users to additional information, such as offering a link to an instructional video.
  • Think about where your QR code will appear, and consider the time it takes to scan the code. For example, codes are much more successful when printed on a business card or postcard than the side of a bus.
  • Offer a QR code on a brief one-page product slick, door hanger, or other small marketing piece that can offer additional information to those who are interested.
  • Use QR codes as a unique way to get additional information, such as on Home for Sale signs – you could include a code that links to a video or photo tour of the house.

When you have an important event to announce, or simply need to make a big, bold statement, why not use a big color poster? 

We print the standard size corkboard 11x17" big color posters. This size is the most popular big poster because it can be the dominant piece on most corkboard displays without totally overpowering other items on display.

Product Ideas

 

Photo Business Cards

Some business cards are one in a million... others just blend into the pile. An easy way to make yours stand out and be remembered is by creating a photo business card. By including a professional photo of yourself, you not only add a personalized touch, but it will also help people put a face with your name and remember who you are.

In addition to or in lieu of including a photo of yourself, you may consider a dual-sided or folded business card that offers extra space to feature product photos, images of your building, or photos of services. Whatever you choose to highlight, use professional quality images and aim to create a timeless card that your customers will hold on to well into the future.

If you'd like ideas for a business card design that will create a lasting impression, give us a call today! We'd love to help you create a business card with a wow-factor to match the high level of quality your customers have come to expect from your business.

Email File Format Recommendation

Why Friends Don’t Let Friends Email Word Documents

Next time you attach a Word document to an email, you may want to think twice. Word documents are often one of the most frustrating file formats people commonly send. Here are a few reasons why Word documents are an unreliable way to email information:

  • Not everyone has the same version of Word. If the recipient has an older version of Word than you do, they may not be able to open your document. Formatting issues are also common if files need to be converted to a newer version of Word.
  • Your content is easily editable. Depending on the purpose of the document it can compromise security.
  • Word documents don't always print the same way as they look on the computer.
  • Fonts are not transferred with files, so if the recipient doesn't have the same font installed, another font will be substituted.
  • Layouts can easily change due to poor formatting control over line breaks, page breaks, font substitutions, margins, etc.
  • The file size of Word documents is very large and inefficient compared to other file formats.
  • Word files are notorious for containing computer viruses.
  • Images may lose quality when imported into Word. Also, Word typically does not handle graphics in the .eps format very well and makes it difficult to view them within a document.

The best alternative to sending Word documents is to save document as a PDF to preserve the formatting and look of the fonts you selected. Acrobat Reader is free and can be used by anyone to view the PDF file. Other alternatives include converting the file to HTML, or saving as plain text if formatting isn't an issue, or if formatting will ultimately be addressed through the use of page layout software.



Tips & Tricks

Using Type as a Mask

Adobe Illustrator has a wonderful assortment of tools for adding fill colors and patterns to paths and objects. However, those fill options aren't as plentiful when it comes to adding fills to type. Workarounds for these limitations are available. One method allows you to use type as a mask to apply a gradient to your text. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Create a word or phrase of text.



  2. Use the rectangle tool to create a rectangle about the size of your text. Apply a gradient fill to this rectangle.



  3. Drag your type on top of the filled rectangle, making sure that the text is on top. (Object > Arrange > Bring to Front)



  4. Select both pieces, the type and the rectangle.

  5. Choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make.

  6. Click anywhere outside your type to see the effect.

You could use this technique to create unique headlines for a newsletter, or in your company’s logo.
