Sorry things have been quiet around here, I've been a little busy with some stuff. Nothing major, y'know, just a little thing like getting a full-time position designing ads and learning how to put a whole newspaper together 🎉 🍻

Come see me at the Seneca County Area Shopper in Ovid if you need something advertised, or even labels, business cards, invoices/receipt booklets, and other printing/copying jobs of all kinds!

And last but not least, we have a full photo manip of the three pieces, complete with a bottom-to-top comparison of the original, minor corrections, the bokeh blurring, and the final piece all in one! Without compromising the original colors and details meant to highlight the crocheted pieces, I overlaid a spiderweb with the center focused on the shawl wrap and toned a nebulous overlay purple to reflect the subtle but dark grace and intrigue characteristic of The Spider Queen herself 🕸👑

Here it is! Cover photo layout for Morimyth's latest project, a one-of-a-kind, three-piece commission of gloves, hat, and shawl. I edited the provided photography and created this cover image for their Instagram post promoting the same.

As teased in that last post, I also offer photo editing! Starting at $25 per image, projects of this type can be anything from simple color corrections to more intricate additions and manipulations, such as background removal and more!

A simple example below: this was imagery provided for Morimyth Craft's (ko-fi.com/morimyth | tumblr.com/morimyth) Ko-Fi banner, but one was taken under pink lighting. In order to match the other provided images, I removed the warm, pink tone of the lighting while preserving the purple shade of the crocheted piece and the runestones it was displayed with. That way, all three were able to be included in the Ko-Fi header, without compromising the cool blues and purples of the logo and other images as part of the Ko-Fi page.

We're finally into Spring! As this is a scheduled post, I'm *not* making a weather comment - I'd hope it's nice when this goes up, but I know better than to expect it 😉 Regardless, events are cropping up soon - so, I'm running a special for the next month:

From today (April 14th) until May 15th, get price sheets, menus, brochures, etc. designed for only $75 per page! For an extra $25, I'll even set up the file for your online print service of choice (Vistaprint, Moo, Staples, etc.) and facilitate getting your prints delivered right to your door!

This could be anything for Cayuga or Seneca Lake Wine Trail events, festival vendor tables, and more - send me a message to discuss the details!

Want some special props designed for game night? I do that too! This is an exclusive peek into one of our D&D campaigns, where an ex-adventuring party retire and some of the gruffer members (as apparent by the 'house rules' if you couldn't guess!) open a bar. A second campaign revisits that city, and the new protagonists frequent said bar - so I made up a menu! EVERYTHING was made up based on in-game lore: the fruit varietals, the alcohol, and the drinks! Behind the scenes, the blue 'handwritten' parts change based on in-game seasons as well. I then designed the menu based on what kind of 'printing' technology is available in the in-game era (think vaguely late-middle ages/early-Renaissance with a dash of steampunk) and created the background and framing accordingly.

If interested, things like these are priced individually. A menu like this (typography, text styling and flow, design elements, etc.) with all of the text etc. provided would be around my standard $175 per page, adjusted depending on complexity and other variables. I've also done smaller pieces like in-character letters and notes, ciphers, etc. to be given to players, maps, and more to add little boosts and flavors to games!
