Things have been hopping around PentaGRAFX for the past few months, leaving things like updates to our Latest News blog to pile up on the corner of our desk. This is a problem that is more welcome than not.

3-in-1 Product Brochure

With that said, one of the recent print projects we've done was a bit of a challenge — the new piece, a 12-page brochure + cover for DiamondTouch, Inc. It incorporated a pocket inside the back cover to contain letterhead, a CD, and a business card. The challenge was bringing together 3 previous pieces: a presentation folder, 10 (+ 2 new) sell sheets, and a 4-page brochure into a single brochure. We also were asked to mimic the color scheme of the company's trade show booth while keeping the overall look of the piece consistent with previous collateral, which had a clean, open look.

It was a fun project and the piece benefited from the terrific product photography of Marty Perlman here in Dallas.

Bottom line — the client, Tom Bronson, president of DiamondTouch loved it! He even printed more than he has in the past and his very excited resellers couldn't wait to get their hands on them.

Website Design

At PentaGRAFX, we're constantly reaching, growing and stretching to acquire skills, hire people, and create relationships that help us to serve our present and future clients. For almost 20 years, we've been primarily a print-oriented design firm. And, although print isn't going away anytime soon, the market has changed and the rate of change is accelerating. That's why we're now offering web design and search engine optimization for our clients.

Our newest web client is Candice White, a brilliant fine art and portrait photographer based here in Dallas. She knows precisely what she wants and demands nothing less than our best effort.

We stepped up to the task and produced a website that we're very proud of for its beauty, simplicity, and ease-of-use. With over 200 images in her online portfolio, it became clear that staying organized would be a chore. But once in the groove, things went very smoothly.

Simple, elegant, and scaleable. . . that's why the client said, "IT IS BEAUTIFUL! I'm very pleased."

Along the way, we redesigned her company logo and incorporated it into the site. Two versions are shown here.

That's it for now. More to come soon. Keep those cards and letters coming. . . er, make that, IMs and emails.
