Hester Designs Collector Business Cards
When we updated Hester Designs’ identity we knew we wanted something that could easily be updated without reinventing the wheel. Being designers ourselves, we know how easy it is to get tired of your company color scheme and wanted to head that feeling off at the pass. After much internal debate, we decided on the idea of a semi-permanent design in which parts would remain constant while others could be easily switched out. This allows the artist to get creative and incorporate their individual style into the card, using the card as a creative canvas.
Meet our series of collector business cards! The HD logo placement, as well as the personal information on the back, remain the same on every one while the background image changes with each printing. We only order 100 at a time for each designer to guarantee a fast turnover between designs. As of this month we’re up to 14! Each individual design is numbered on the reverse lower left with its place in the HD business card series.
We dare you to collect them all!
The Wild World of CrossTimbers
When one of our clients, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, came to us with a request for new building signage for their CrossTimbers childrens’ camp we couldn’t have been happier. Here was the perfect job to bring out our illustrating chops in full force! Hester Designs came up with the fun idea to use a safari theme across the board of thirty plus signs, each depicting an animal representative and reflective building name. The signs were huge success and we’ve added several more since the original project.
Introducing Web Safe
Data backup has always been important, and now it plays a bigger role than ever in protecting your web investment.
Starting this week Hester Designs is offering a new service – Web Safe. Web Safe gives you the peace of mind of knowing your site’s content is backed up and stored safely at an off-site location, where it will be easily accessible should an emergency arise.
Why is this important? Chances are your website hasn’t been backed up since it was first created. What that means is all of the changes you’ve made and the content you’ve added since then could be lost should anything go wrong. With Web Safe, we’re able to restore your site to the most recently archived version with ease. Backing up your data is the single most important thing you can do to safeguard your site. Think of it as website insurance against accidentally deleted files, failed technology, and a host of other possibilities.
