Event Details

Made it through my first UTSA Football event. The team looked great and the crowds were so excited! It was pretty cool to see everyone walking around with my little project and it occurred to me that a lot of "mamas" would be holding on to that roster since it had their kid's name on it - I know this mama would if that were my kid on the field!!! So, I could have just made a memory for someone :o)

I got to spend more time with some of the UTSA athletic staff and am very excited to be working with them. In fact, I already got another project in final editing stages this morning! Here's a pic of me from just outside the suite. You can only see about 1/2 the crowd behind me in the stands. They had the pep band there which sounded GREAT and 3, yes, 3 squads of cheerleaders! So much fun!

Approved!

Yeah, my first official UTSA project has been cleared and will be printed today! Kick-off is 7pm tonight at the Alamodome downtown. Everyone is invited, admission is FREE (parking $5). I will be attending a reception before and during the game (yikes - what to wear!) in the suites (snazzy) and can't wait to see my work in everyone's hot little hands! They will be passing them out to everyone AT THE DOOR!!!!! :o)

Okay, must calm down. Not like I haven't ever seen my work in print before.....NOPE, I'm still pretty darn excited.

I have all but 1 of my other assignments turned in and waiting on final editing. I think that makes me officially on board!

(Here are the First 2,000 of 3,000 copies!!!)

GO RUNNERS!!!!!

Last Minute Requests

Welcome to the big time! On Monday evening, UTSA requested a roster designed and printed by Thursday afternoon!!! That means I have to have my design in by Wednesday so the printers can print and cut the OVER 3,000 copies of it! Wow - 3,000 copies of my work going out to everyone attending the big football scrimmage! YIKES! Gotta get back to work!
My favorite part so far... The 80 player roster has to be typed in with all the stats for each player!!! That's gonna take a while :oP

I'll try to put some pics up from the game afterward!

Also, so far they like the designs they've looked at. :o)

Christmas Cards

Pricing and new samples up on the Christmas Card Page! Be sure to check it out!!!
My prices are competitive with the brand stores and WAAAAYYY better than stationer's prices. Don't miss out! Also, remember to order your baby announcements, and more from Over the Edge Designs!!!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL???

So excited to announce that OTED has been drafted by the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to do marketing for the athletic department!!! I am specifically starting with their football team which will be hitting the field in 2011. I attended the Spring Signing Party last spring and will be attending their first football pep rally this Friday! I get to work with professional photographers to get the shots I need for the marketing, and, of course, will be doing design and layouts for them.
This is not scrapbooking, so it requires a lot of research on my part, which is great! One of my first assignments is to create the brochure/registration form for their summer football camps! These are not your traditional forms, to say the least, and there are tough NCAA rules that must be followed when making it. I am already learning a lot!
I can't wait to WOW them with the designs and look forward to a great partnership for years to come!!!
