Fun Projects, Work Projects, Making a Difference Projects

Right now my life is surrounded with different projects just waiting to have some hands on them bringing them into completion. My post was a sneak peak one of the projects floating around in my head. That project, Creatives for a Cause, is going to be big and requires a lot of hands on time with me and the people I put together to get it started. I love the idea (which I will flesh out for you shortly) and am very excited about being a founding member.
Aside from my own little not for profit venture, I am working with some other major non profit organizations to put together the fashion show event that I have mentioned earlier as well. The brain child of me and a few salon friends is turning into a really exciting project that again, will take quite a bit of man power to pull off.

Oh, did I mention that Matt wants to write/photograph a book? Yep! I am really proud of him for taking on a task such as that, and I think it would be amazing for him to be able to use his creative talents in a non-commercial, entirely art related way. I can’t really tell you the concept because we need to make the book first, but I can tell you it will basically be about art, photography, and design. We are currently looking for an agent to manage and represent the book, so if you know anyone, send them here!

Hmm, what else? Oh yea, there are the paid and commercial projects. These projects are the bread and butter of our business and we would not be here without them. Obviously some are better and more interesting than others, but we love all of them because without those, we could not do the more “creative and artistic” projects that we are planning for the future. Most of our commercial projects are logo designs, identity packages, and websites. The website design is the area of our services that takes the most work and man power because not only do we have to come up with a perfectly branded and user friendly design, but then we have to code and customize it. A lot of times it ends up being more work than anticipated, but that’s because I am a perfectionist. I love the clients who give me a soft deadline but then let me pick away at added features at my leisure. Obviously this really benefits the clients because I am just adding stuff that I think will be useful or fun just because I want to, and not because I am looking to tack on added hours to a bill (we don’t do that here at BSC Design).

Anyways, that’s the deal now! I wish I had some pictures and artwork to share with you, but because of the nature of the work, it is all highly top secret. I don’t really even have any good photos to share of my daily like because, well, my life as been glued to this computer with little to no possibility of me even TRYING to look good.

On the bright side, with all of these new projects and connections, the future of this blog looks to be a bright and shiny one. I will be attending a lot of exciting events, planning one of them, and meeting more and more exciting people, so this blog can only get more interesting. I will do my best to write as often as I can, and the more interest and interaction I get from you, the readers, the more I will write.

Have a good one!

  1. It’s exciting to get some interesting projects that are more than just bread earners. I just ground through one of those, and it was OK, in the end. But, now I want to spend the time to redo it correctly :-) Computer programming can be great that way. You can entirely redo a project, and so long as the initial pass wasn’t horrible, no will know when you re-implement. Look forward to hearing about “Creatives for a Cause”.
