will spin for sheepie renderings

[kismet09]

Paula said and I am lazily copying:

After many many unsuccessful go-arounds, Kate and I have come to the conclusion that we stink at drawing, laying out, etc.

Also, we are relatively broke, after some HUGE investments for fall craft fairs (seriously, there will be SO MUCH great stuff at our booths this fall!)

We are looking to trade yarn (sock or handspun) for graphic design services! Do you draw? Do you have any idea how on earth these photoshop/adobe whatsit programs work? Do you need yarn? A new scarf/hat/mittens? Do you know someone who could help us?!

We have some general ideas of what we want for postcards, business cards, and whatnot, but need someone to do the designs for us! I don't imagine this first bit would take more than an hour or two of time-we're looking for something basic and quick and have images mostly ready to go for this.

We're also looking for someone who is handy at drawing to update our ballerina sheep logo.

Please let us know if you or anyone you know could help!! Danke schoen!
(actually, let her know -- she's got all the pics and idea and stuff).

something ballerina-esque, since it goes with our woolarina name, but i'm open to suggestions :)

I just forwarded this to a friend of mine, amalthya, aka Laura (www.lauradarby.com), she had been working in Uganda for the last year doing graphic design and just returned to the US for school in NYC.

If you guys end up needing someone to design print and things, my husband actually is a graphic designer, and I'm sure would love to help. He's good at rebranding, as well, but I think you just need someone to smooth things out, not redesign the logo :)

oooh -- that's tempting, especially since y'all are local and he is sympathetic to the world of fiber ;) would he take payment in hats or cookies or something, though? i'd promise homebrewed beer if i knew when/if they boy was going to make more...

A promise of a future batch of beer to be made at an undisclosed time would probably be most suitable. :)

That or cookies, whatever. Drop me an email at adanielscook(at)gmail (dot) com and I can get you in touch with him directly if you like :)
