HeavyHitter Dj C-lo is a friend, and client. I’ve had the privilege to design several flyers promotional flyers for him, as well as his business cards, website and MySpace profile. I’d like to show the recent work:

For the last 2-3 months I’ve had a gig with a club promotion team based out of Astoria, Queens. They’re a small team that packs the house at one of Astoria’s newest nightclubs/bars: Club Matrix. They were looking for a graphic designer that could design the promotional flyers for print and web, and that could deliver fresh designs each time. They saw some of the work that I had done for another one of my clients and were impressed.
I was first contacted by Roberto on a Sunday afternoon. His questions were rather simple: 1. Price 2. Turn-Around. Now, many designers may disagree with me on this, but I charge a set price for my printed work. Its a personal choice and I respect the graphic designers that charge hourly or otherwise, but I’m not the fastest designer in the world, so having a set price keeps me competitive against those faster designers. After Roberto and I discussed my rate, he immediately expressed how excited he was to work with a new designer. His previous designers where good designers, but had fallen into bad habits of not being reachable, and worse- they where pumping out flyers identical to competing club flyers. When they finally decided to give me a call, they were already in a bind. Sunday afternoon, and they needed the flyer by Monday morning to send to print. I don’t work weekends, but if it means the difference between one design and a elongated business relationship, I make the sacrifice.
The rest is well, history. I’ve been designing for the Club Matrix teams for since the beginning of March and I’d like to show off a few of my favorite designs. Let me know what you think.
