The JMR ad layout was simple and to the point.  The requirements for the ad stated the ad had to be black and white.  After a few mock ups it was decided to stay with the bold contrast of the solid black on white.  509 Media is in the business of building businesses.  Give 509 Media a call for details on ad layout.

Southern Shenanigans DVD Artwork

Monday, December 14th, 2009

sample1-mail

Busted Knuckle Films contacted 509 Media to layout the graphic design for their Southern Shenanigans DVD which was released this month just in time for Christmas.  I had a friend Jeremy help on this project due to the time frame and the current work load we have.  Jeremy did a great job on this project allowing us to close the project before the deadline.

dvd_face-printThe DVD insert and DVD insert were designed using Adobe Photoshop.  Once we got into the project we noticed the logo Busted Knuckle Films was used by another company.  After a quick discussion we contacted BK Films to let them know about the issue.  Jeremy reworked the logo design to loose the clip art fist used on the original logo design.  The end result is a more realistic looking fist on the logo.

509 Media is not involved in the filming, production, editing, or distribution of the DVD.  If you need DVD artwork and / or DVD duplications made be sure to contact 509 Media.

Hudson for SGA 2nd Grade Senate Poster

Heard Magnet School SGA Poster

My son Hudson is running for school Senate in the 2nd grade at Heard Magnet School in Dothan, Alabama.  Hudson and I sat at the computer this afternoon to put together an election poster to be posted in his class. I want to point out that my 2nd grade son helped with this layout.  We have a couple hours in the design with him, and we are both happy with it. It is crazy to think someone so young can work on a computer.  It was a great afternoon working this together.

If this were an actual election campaign poster I would have done things a lot differently.   The layout for this poster is only 8.5″ wide x 11″ tall.  The rules stated we had to be the size of “copy paper”.  Heard Magnet School is a higher learning school in Dothan, AL.  If you are in the Dothan area be sure to visit their website for more information on the school.

The poster is going to be printed on some scrap 3M cv3 I have loaded in the printer.  The vinyl I am printing this on is actually the same material used for vehicle wraps.  We are going to use the scrap materials to stay under his five dollars budget.  LOL I would not charge him anyway.

We also printed out  a smaller extra one to wrap his water bottle he takes to school.  I think I may have to wrap a couple 509 Media bottles to keep around.  They turned out really nice.  Just in case some other parents might be thinking we spent over 5 bones on this project.  The water bottle was one I kept at the shop to drink from everyday during my Blue Torch Fab days.  So… the bottle was not an added expense.  Just making use of things we already had.

Heard Magnet School

If you happen to be in the 2nd Grade at Heard… Hudson says, “Please vote for me”.

Thanks for reading the post.  If you would like to have help with your child’s SGA election feel free to CONTACT 509 Media.  We can discuss the project and cost.

Western International

Friday, October 30th, 2009

WII Postcard BackWestern International in Kansas emailed over a rush job and asked if I could complete the project the same day.  I agreed to do the layout.  They emailed over some of the images they wanted to use along with their logo.  From there they simply told me to run with it.  The print was to be a double sided 4 x 6 post card.  Another company was going to print and mail them out.

The process from layout to print is not very difficult and very affordable.  I f you would like to discuss having something similar done for your company be sure to contact me for details.  Print quantities start at 500 and go up to what ever you may need.  Be sure to check other design projects we have completed.

WII Postcard FrontOn the front side we left the right side open so the address information could be printed. The rear of the card was to get the advertising message across.
