He wanted it to convey the fact that he is a Firefighter/EMT in training along with the fact that it is a lawn care business. I designed the logo and the business card from scratch.

The first project is a product I made up called Seabreeze. It's an air freshener for land locked fisherman and sailors who miss the smell of the open ocean. It brings the sea to them. The second ones are of Luden's Throat Lozenges. Melinda eats them like candy, so I made the packaging more candy like. I printed it on some brownish paper that gave the packages an old timey feel.<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_icNCVUW-T6k/SOLIbMs5ebI/AAAAAAAAADA/PRnZ43B8gNs/s1600-h/SB+Side+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

My objective was to make it have the same feel as previous posters, but to update the look at the same time. I feel that I was able to do so. I got to print it out and then I drove down to the Idaho Falls Branch and replaced one of the posters they had with it.
