From a SCAD classmate: Reason to Read: ONE YEAR OUT PART II:

I think he did a wonderful job explaining it!

In continuation from the last post -and I don’t mean to get all sentimental here- but it has dawned on me that I really have had an interesting year, both personally and as a designer fresh out of school. (last time I reference my feelings on this blog, I promise.) After collecting some of the…

Professional Email?

Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:03:40 -0500

I need to update my website, resume, and business card with a more professional email address. Apparently @gmail.com isn’t all too professional and I knew this, I just was lazy. Well lazy no more!

Here are my ideas for a new professional email:

info@designsbykimie.com <—— seems a little boring to me

hello@designsbykimie.com <——- also boring and predictable

goodmorning@designsbykimie.com <——- may be too long

greetings@designsbykimie.com <——- like but is it too informal?

salutations@designsbykimie.com <——- like in Charlotte’s webb!

What do you think? Please respond.

Seattle’s Best Coffee changes packaging and names of...

Seattle’s Best Coffee changes packaging and names of coffee completely!

I bought some of this coffee the other day and I couldn’t quite figure out which Seattle’s Best I liked because frankly I don’t buy it that much. Too expensive. But Kroger had it on sale, so I decided to buy the teal colored bag. I love the way this new packaging looks, but I wish that they had some kind of reference on there that showed you what this coffee number was in relation to the previous coffee flavor name.

Example: I bought Level 4 which is close to the old Henry’s Blend. But at the store I did not know this, I found out on Seattle’s Best website. It would have been easier if they had a little chart next to the coffee that said “If you liked (old coffee name here), then you would like (level coffee number here).”

Thank you and good morning!

P.S. Found out that Seattle’s Best is owned by Starbucks. What the heck?
