Now the White Mountain Waldorf school has a site that can involve multiple authors, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, and other social integrations, and a boatload of other functionality to get the school more exposure! You get that warm and fuzzy feeling, right?  Check it out here.

Rovettidesign provided a turnkey solution….

As a side note… Marc was also very happy to know that Rovettidesign was able to deliver 2500 full-color tri-fold brochures to his doorstep for under $275.00!!!! This isn’t your local print shop quality either… these were beautiful brochures on 100 lb. high-quality gloss book paper with an aqueous (AQ) coating. Stunning print quality, printed at 500 line screen.

Not sure what more I should say… why are you still paying more for mediocre design, and lower quality printing? Logic dictates that better, more engaging design and higher quality printing at a fraction of what you would normally pay would make sense, right? Call us today, or use the contact page on this site, and let’s get something going.

Comment or contact if you want to know the nitty gritty on the technical stuff before I post it up here in the post later this week…

It was cold. Cold as all hell.

The need to create, practice, test, fail, try again, reshoot.  Some folks have to just do it. I need to just do it. Solving problems, testing new ideas, and practicing skills is important in any line of work.  It’s especially important for creatives.

It’s like muscle memory; the more often you do something, the better your brain is at remembering how it was done, and how to do it efficiently. My thought is this… the more I do something, the less work I have to do performing the regular movements, which leaves me more time to be creative.

So, freezing my hands off, I decided to set my camera up, and shoot a few long exposures (30 seconds). After I had remotely triggered the camera, I grabbed one of my SB600 flashguns, and started running around, striking a pose, and triggering the test flash.

You can see the result here.

I was cold, but it was kind of fun to go after it, and get it done. I want to see what Anne did. She gave herself the same assignment.

Just sending off a quick link to you all.  Anne and I had a talk about this recent experience she had today… thought I’d pass it along.  Good stuff.

Sarah came to the studio, and after a quick talk about likes and dislikes, color, and concept (I’ll never say the word “ideation”), I got to work.  With Sarah chilling out in the studio and listening to some music from the Rovettidesign library, the pixels flew, and we were finished with the initial layouts.  Shortly thereafter, we had the finals ready to rock, and were digitally delivered to be printed.

Sarah was totally stoked with the quality of the design and the printing (that was delivered to her location at the trade event).

I love eating scary timelines for breakfast.

So… I had a dream a few nights ago after a day of crashing through code, and when I woke up, I remembered what I was doing in my dream, ran downstairs, boiled up a hot cup of tea, and recreated it right away, before I forgot it. The link is here.. it’s a cool, personalized Twitter page for Rovettidesign. Feel free to contact me with questions on how I did it, or if you want your own custom Twitter page.  There’s a lot that can be done with it.

The page uses cool Cufón text replacement: no more sIFR! The page is designed to render perfectly in all A-Grade browsers… no compatibility issues here.  Enjoy!

As an added bonus, the bloggers over at Kismet just gave Rovettidesign a really flattering review.  Check it out here!

Absolutely.  The Armpit.  My buddy Max over at Funky Rabbit media decided to use my free “Rovetti Print” typeface for his website project “The Armpit”… a fan tribute page for Limp Bizkit that’s been up and running for over 6 years.  The new version uses some new tricks, and of course, my super cool handwriting font.  Check it out when you get a chance. Did you miss the chance to download and install my font? Just click this “Rovetti Print” link, and you can get your own copy.  It’s free and fun to mess around with.  Enjoy, and let me know if you use it in a project!  Rock on!

The homepage of the Valley originals is linked to its corresponding Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as its blog. Posts from the blog and Twitter populate to the homepage automatically. Now that’s cool.

Take a look when you get a chance, and don’t forget; if you’re visiting the Mount Washington Valley, make sure to check out the site, and score some gift certificates for friends and family while you’re at it!
