Welcome!

Hello my name is Marty (Mr. Pants) Jefferies. I am a graphic designer by trade. I have been doing print design now for about 9 years. Over the years I have been one of those designers that is intrigued by website design, but was always to shy/lazy to really learn how to create website properly. With the help of Mrs. Pants (who happens to be a web design by trade) and a book or 2, I am trying to learn the proper and current way to design websites. This can also double as my learning and development for this year at work. WHOOOO!

I can't promise that I will update this website every day, nor even often, but I will try. To help keep the site 'fresh' you can keep up with my goings on through my Twitter.com tab on the left.

7 steps to creating your own business cards

Step 1: Go to your company's website, and right click on your company's logo, save it to your desktop. If your company does not have a website, do a google search for a logo that you like, and save that one to your desktop.

Step 2: Open a new MS Word document. Insert that logo that you saved from the internet in to that blank document.

Step 3: Type in all the info you want on the card into that Word document using at least 3 different fonts, one of which MUST be Comic Sans.

Step 4: Save the Word document and email to your favourite printer, and ask for them to be printed on parchment paper, as its very pretty.

Step 5: Argue with your printer when they call that it prints out fine on the inkjet printer that is on your desk, and act very confused when they try and explain the difference between RGB and CMYK printing. If they do not call skip this step and go straight to Step 6.

Step 6: When/if you receive your business cards from the printer, call them to complain that the logo is all blurry and the quality is horrible. Act very confused when they try and explain the difference between screen resolution and minimum print resolution.

Step 7: Complain to your friends and colleagues about how bad the printer was to work with and how horrible your business cards came out.
