Mexico! March Madness! What a month it has been. The city of Indy has come to life the past few weeks as the Butler Bulldogs marched their way to the Championship Game. It’s been quite an experience to see Andy’s alma mater gain national attention not only for their athletics, but also for their academics.
We have also been back from La Paz, Mexico for a few weeks now. With just a touch of tourism, La Paz has a wonderful laid-back authentic atmosphere. We enjoyed daily trips down the Malecon, snorkeling with sea lions, dolphins and whale sharks, visiting nearby beaches and enjoying the friendly hospitality of the city.
It’s also that time of year that house renovations are back on the list of things to do. Stay tuned for photos of final stages of the kitchen remodel!

Last week, we attended the Stella Artois Happy Hour at the Symphony with four of our friends. Despite the crowds (which the ISO says it will be addressing in future Happy Hour events) the hour long performance was a great mix of old (Beethoven) and new (Coldplay). In addition to the obvious instrumental music, the event also included a dance performance and even a few vocals from the conductor. The next event will be February 18, with special guest Time for Three.

On January 1, 2010 my official business name changed to Jackson Sky Web Design & Development. This name change results from, and allows for, the expansion of services and staff as my business continues to grow. Check out the site for a new portfolio, testimonials or to request a quote.

PurGood Organics is a new company here in central Indiana that is committed to providing organic and eco-friendly products that are pure enough for even the most sensitive of skins. Co-owners Christi and Jessica came to me once they had their logo and packaging designed (by Kelly of KleverGirl) and were in need of a web site where they could feature and sell their products. Also as part of this project, I also took product photos for the company to use online and on printed material.
Now’s a great time to check out the brand new PurGood Organics web site and possibly pick up some products for the little ones on your gift list this year. Not only will you be getting a wonderful product, but you can also feel good about supporting a locally-owned business.

Holidays are fast approaching and shopping season is already here. Take the guesswork out of giving gifts and encourage your friends and family to start wishing with Clearwish. This Facebook-friendly application gives you the option to install a button for your browser allowing you to add items to your wishlist with one simple click.
Clearwish is a start-up company founded by Brian Zuercher. He along with Steve Krause and Brad Griffith brought me in on the project last year to design the logo and web site. The site recently got a facelift to allow for future expansion, and is currently sporting a wintery header for the holidays.

I was recently contacted by Stefanie and Brock of SB Childs Photography because they needed a new logo. They wanted something simple and elegant but since they are a husband and wife duo, they wanted the logo to have a balance of both feminine and masculine elements. The hand-drawn mark makes a subtle reference to the script-like fonts often associated with weddings and the brown sans-serif font adds the splash of masculinity they were looking for.
Check out the logo, along with the great work that Stefanie and Brock do at the SB Childs Photography web site.

I just got back from a trip to sunny California where I got to spend some quality time with my brother and his family (shown here) with trips to the California Academy of Sciences and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to see the Richard Avedon exhibit. I also squeezed in a little work, visiting the SwitchGear Genomics office to plan and design a new marketing campaign.
