Hi there, ya’ll!

 I’ve been thinking for a while that Chrysalis Logos needs an attractive new tagline that will catch the imagination of all who read it, but my brain is occupied making pictures in my head, so I want your help! If you can come up with a tagline that makes me scream “That’s the one!” then you will score 4 delicious Cookietree brownies (which have been described as chocolate bars with bits of brownie in them) AND a full retail account from SendOutCards, good for one year, with enough credits to send 10 greeting cards through the mail.

All you have to do is write your tagline(s) in the comments section, and I will choose the winner no later than March 25th. You can enter as many times as you want.  I also have a small prize for everyone who participates, so you really can’t lose.

Feel free to browse our site to get a feel for what we do and who we are. I will give you one hint: Chrysalis Logos aspires to be a small business’s best friend when it comes to design.

Good luck!

Artful Restraint

Sometimes the hardest thing for a designer is to exercise restraint. There are so many many tools at a designer’s fingertips nowadays that it can be tempting to want to use them all!

“Let’s do a gradient here, throw in a drop shadow, blur the background, do a neon glow on the font, and make everything beveled!”

Oh no! That’s a recipe for disaster! Sometimes all you need is one color and a pen tool to make everything work. The hardest task of all is knowing when to use which tool to create the visual effect (and the corresponding emotional effect) that is desired for a particular purpose.

That is the art of restraint.
