Nothing But SharePoint Logo Design

Nothing But SharePoint is a joint venture between Jeremy Thake’s SharePoint Dev Wiki, Mark Miller’s End User SharePoint, and Joel Oleson’s SharePoint Land, combining the resources from these three popular SharePoint resource sites into one location. Originally, Marcy Keller was handling their design and SharePoint branding needs, but when she had to step out for [...]

Inspiration, version .01, and brainstorming

One of the lovely features of being seven months pregnant, for me, anyway, is that I seem to be unable to sleep more than five hours a night before I wake up and can’t get back to sleep – usually because of an active, kicking baby. Usually I go to bed around 9 (hubby has [...]

Pondering a redesign

I’m feeling the itch to redesign my site, corriehaffly.com. A big part of it is that since I’m no longer solely a freelance designer, I want to de-emphasize my web design services and focus on blog and Twitter posts. I’ve been fairly active on Twitter but not so much on this blog, so why not [...]

Will design logo for iPhone

Or, My Fastest Logo Design Job Ever. My coworker-friend-whom-I’ve-never-met-in-person, AKA SharePoint Queen herself, Heather Waterman, happened to ask me the other day if I wanted her old iPhone since she upgraded to a 3G. After finding out that it would impact us by $30/month for the data plan, I decided to go for it and [...]

Gear Desk Logo Design

A project I’ve wrapped up recently also has the distinction of being the first job I’ve gotten from a blog reader, P.K.

P.K. had some specific ideas initially and asked for some [...]

Blog under construction

Last night I did a quick-and-dirty switch to the WordPress Sandbox theme and copied, tweaked, and hacked at my CSS to get it into a rough working condition. I think it took about an hour and a half, in between watching kittens play and selling off a chair to a Craigslist person, so I’m talking [...]

Custom Shadow Box business cards

One thing checked off my monthly goal tracker sheet! I finally designed business cards and placed an order for 250. I paid extra money for printing on the back side and for glossy paper; I’m excited to see how they turn out. The next time I wake up and can’t go back to sleep, I’m [...]

Announcing Custom Shadow Box

I am very very very excited to announce that my new “side business” is finally opening its virtual doors. VERY. Introducing Custom Shadow Box at www.customshadowbox.com! Business plan? What business plan? The [rather uncreatively named] business is meant to be a side project for me. I enjoy working with my hands, and this is an [...]

Creating custom Outlook stationery

I made some custom Outlook stationery with my new logo: Making your own custom Outlook stationery is pretty easy if you know some basic HTML and CSS. All you have to do is make a really simple web page and move the .html and graphic files into a specific Documents and Settings folder. Here’s what [...]
