new business card



I thoroughly enjoy getting back into graphic design, after spending a couple of decades, and a couple of careers in it.  My existing business cards are ok - with one minor except - you almost need a magnifying glass to read the phone and email address!  My old versions of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and Macromedia Freehand don't work on my new Macs.  In checking the prices of a current bundle that includes Illustrator and Photoshop - I was shocked.  $1800!  That still would be a good investment for this really great software if I was using it in a graphic design business daily.  But, just for my internal marketing purposes, at this stage of the business - it doesn't compute.  So, to get by for a month I downloaded a 30 day trial of Illustrator.  Purchased a surprisingly powerful Photoshop Elements for $62, and have downloaded a trial version of what looks like a very nice, quite powerful photoshop new competitor - Pixelmator.    Gosh, technology does change if you drop out of the loop for a decade or so!  -  Oh,  let me know what you think about the new biz card.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
