Abalone Watch Cover

The latest edition of Real Estate Magazine is on news stands, in the Realty offices and around the county in hundreds of locations now. We’re excited to present Rod Jones’s article about the citizen’s group Abalone Watch, which patrols the coast for poachers and gives information to divers, protecting the prized mollusk. It’s inspiring that one concerned person can make a decision like this that can make such an impact on our coastal communities. We added extra color pages this month, too. Go get one, or you can read the article and see ads on our website here. Thank you for appreciating Real Estate Magazine.

Next month we will explore Farm to Table consciousness and Eat Mendocino locavores with Sarah Bodnar.

Digitally Printed Cards = Non-Letterpress Show Stoppers

My fabulous homeopath, Shelly Garrison, got new cards recently. I designed them with a letterpress-y vibe but printed them digitally. I love how they came out so much that i wanted to show them to you here.

The mirror-like finish and modern sans-serif font give a liveliness to otherwise very classical typography.and layout.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nida Chaudhry is a lawyer from Vancouver BC. I designed a new logo for her newly opened practice, Infinite Law, and printed them digitally, again with that favorite of mine, black and white and beautiful all over. The big “I” is timeless, modern and striking on the glossy, substantial paper.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And finally, I have made myself some cards for my monthly publication, Real Estate Magazine. Sometimes you just want to leave well-enough alone and I early on chose to leave the logo designed by Chuck Hathaway may moons ago for his magazine as it has been for 25 years. I gave it a little update on the business cards with horizontal striping and a fancy orangey-red back.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These black-and-white themed digital cards show that there is an infinity of possibilities in design and printing to fit your style and budget. Though letterpress will always trump everything in terms of beauty and classiness, it’s not the only available solution. Call Studio Z Mendocino to find a range of savvy, practical options for all your branding questions.

Did you even know that Fort Bragg is one of the top five pet friendliest places in the US? YES! Well, read all about it if you are anywhere in the county or HERE  if you live someplace else!

 

The pictures of Hairy in many of his vast array of guises are worth the price of admission. Well, the magazine’s FREE so never mind that! But really, he is so adorable and the hardest working dog in the barketing business.
