services rendered: web site development, brand identity

The client asked for a logo that was simple, yet linked him with the community. As a Hawkeyes’ fan, he was appreciative that we used the colors of his favorite team. Now his logo matches the rest of his office.

On the right you see their original photo. The picture was rather dark and cluttered. The subject of the photo was lost among the crowd of people.

The second image shows the adjustments I made.

  1. I selected the best action in the photo and cropped the picture to focus in on it,
  2. brightened the photo overall,
  3. also brought some details out in the windows to reduce the bright white of the window, and finally
  4. removed a grease stain from the wall near the light switch.

Virgil and Sheila Hassinger, grandparents

services rendered: photo splicing, calendar development

We have developed a calendar featuring the Hassinger's grandchildren every year since 2001. As the family has grown the requirement for photo manipulation has grown in concert, simply because it is nearly impossible to get ten or more people--particularly children--to simultaneously take a good picture.

This particular year required three photographs spliced together to make one image worthy of a frame.
