Real Quick

I just stumbled across this: Pet Treadmill. Unfortunately, it's not a joke. Fortunately, I can't see it catching on.

Anyway.

We're getting down to the wire! A week from now we'll be somewhere between Denver and Las Vegas in a sweet Dodge Caravan on our way to Interbike. Oh, right, and Thursday we're going to Portland for USAT Nationals! Lots to do, but we're getting it done. Today the last of our printed materials went off to J&R. I really can't say enough about how great they have been in helping us with all of our last minute work.

Today's big project was getting a promo postcard together for the Riptide team. They are hoping to attract sponsors at Interbike and need materials to hand out. In addition to the postcards, I'm designing a book to hand out to companies that express sincere interest.

This one took longer to make than the bikeBounce card. I messed around with a lot of pictures. I even conducted a "photoshoot" with four of the guys on Saturday at Lookout Mountain. The photos seemed to come out okay, until I got home and put them in Photoshop and realized the light wasn't too great and the resolution would be questionable when printed. Robert at J&R offered some guidance and I ended up going with a photo purchased from brightroom.com (not sure if that is allowed, please don't turn me in...though for $28 I would think I could do whatever I wanted with it) and then using a photo from Saturday for the back since I was going for a grainy effect anyway.
