Cheers Matt :).. I did have a different title banner up with a green word in it at first, so it went with that when I put it together. Thanks for pointing it out. And i'll probably change the italic to regular. I wasn't too sure.. Ha. I like the name and your site, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the advice. I've changed the typography and banner. definitely looks a lot cleaner this way. Cheers :)

yeah it does. I liked the retro, colourful look at first.. just looks a bit random now!

Yes, I've had someone else mention that hated word. I'm going to change it to 'good value'. I quite like the black and white / hover to colour effect and feel it gives the user a bit more interaction, but if anyone else feels the same I'll think again.. Not a very useful comment on the font, but...

Thanks for the comments guys! All valid points. I wish I did have photo's of some of the print work Andy. I will definitely remember to do that from now on. Perhaps if I can't take a photo myself, I'll ask clients or their printer to take a pic once they have the work printed.. As for the font I...

Hi Everyone, I'm taking the plunge and investing in some accounting software for my studio. There's two of us and we need a package that we can use to send estimates, generate invoices and keep track of invoiced work etc. I've been picking around DF and these are the packages that seem to be...

Hi! I checked out the Design Forums re. accounting and there's been some lightweight discussion, with 'Billings' and 'Free Agent' getting some mentions.. It would be great if anyone could point us in the direction of some more in-depth rooting around! Jim

I had the same issue of time, money, procrastination, time and finally money. In the end I asked the guys at DF to crit my one-page design, which I'm pretty happy with and it's being coded now. Do a lovely one pager- post it up here on DF and they'll rip it to shreds! In a good way.

Really liking Nancy Peña..

I think you should perhaps steer away from the geometric letterforms and box, and move to something a little more organic. Not a trendy hand drawn logo, but maybe something alittle softer, more natural. The logo as it stands looks a little like a christmas present. I like the combo of greens...
