It's a Boy

A Halloween Trick.

My wife is due on November 24th (less than a month away) so I posted these photos on facebook as a joke.

As you can imagine it caused a little confusion but I found it entertaining if anything else.  I guess this is what happens when I spend too much time in the office alone.

I assume some of you would enjoy the Halloween joke.

The image on the left was originally from me holding my niece while visiting family several years ago.  The big baby body was from an image of one of the biggest baby’s ever born (I found it on the internet).  The face is my best friend Jeff Lang.

I used photoshop to create it.  The image at the bottom of the page I animated once for a video about myself I created for my youtube channel several years ago.  You can see it here.

What I should have done was put a caption in the image like all those memes people are using on facebook with my website at the bottom. Since I already posted it, I probably will not do that.  Also, because it is so personal and created for my friends that know who I am and what Jeff looks like it might not be as funny to those that don’t know Jeff or me personally.

At the very least I hope you enjoy it.

Why does my baby look like my best friend?

Creating a Logo with Meaning ImageCreating a logo that fits both the wants and needs of an organization sounds easy, unless you have experienced the frustration of constantly being asked to recreate a logo design because it wasn’t what the client wanted.  If you have been in this situation you must realize the importance of constant communication with your client and having a process in place to figure out the best design in the first place.

When I create a logo I follow a simple 5 step formula for the first draft of a logo.

The 5 steps to Creating a Logo with Meaning:

1) Get into the mind of your client

Find out what interests them, what other logos do they love, and what hobbies do they enjoy.  This is both to get an idea of what kind of logos they will be interested in and to just build a connection with your client.

2) Determine the Goals of the organization/idea the logo represents

Feel free to ask your client this specific question, but make sure to read
