When I was asked to write a statement aboutthis cover I procrastinated. I felt pressure topresent a loy, intellectual rationale aboutwhat this cover design represents and how itaccomplishes their objective. I didn’t reallywant to lie though.

I knew I wanted something created byhand — at least partially awayfrom a computer. I chewed onideas for weeks, filled pages inmy sketchbook at my son’sfootball practices but hadnothing to show for it yet.

e weekend came toactually produce a cover. A quiet Saturday aernoonseemed ripe with possibilities— until I realized my kidswere desperate for some fam-ily time.

“Let’s all go outside andpaint,” I mandated. Aerdragging out every mediumavailable we mixed acrylics, oils, chalk andoil pastels, charcoal, spray paint — evenmushed in some mulch and pencil shavingsfor good measure (though I had to draw theline at adding dead bug carcasses). Our “can-vases” were a motley crew of shoe boxes, aroll of newsprint and a pizza box — onlyslightly greasy from the night before. We“free painted” as 6-year-old Ryan called it, forhours while my patient husband Toddworked around us in the yard and tried notto ask too many questions about our spread-

ing mess. Ten-year old Connor critiqued mywork — I actually defended my yellow colorscheme to him. “Well, you see, I’m playingon the visual equity that annual directorieslike the Yellow Pages or books in the yellowfamily (think Dummies Guides) have. Peoplewill want to keep this around and refer to it.”

He didn’t get it but thought itlooked cool. Fair enough.

ey helped me spraypaint and photograph andthe messier we got the morepleased they were with theresults. Me too.

My point is — the creativeprocess rarely turns out theway you plan. And that’s theway it probably should be.

Whether your mediuminvolves words, motion,paint, pixels, sound or strat-egy, we as creativeprofessionals must dial up

creativity and serve it daily. We get good at itand maybe even take it for granted. But let’sremember to treasure this skill and cultivateit. Fill your brain up with stuff other thanyour industry’s top RSS feeds and the latestdesign annuals. Look, listen and notice dif-ferences and similarities — everywhere.Allow your work to happen outside the office,away from the machines, in unexpected situa-tions. Good things will happen.

And if it still doesnt come together youcan always tweak it later right?

MAN


Sometimes an idea hits you overnight. Sometimesyou need to sleep on it. And occasionally, like anice cup of tea, you need to let it steep for a goodlong while. Marsha Vayvada’s new line of pocket notecards, joey notes, is based on an idea that she’s been

brewing for decades. Here’s how one designer took a childhoodthought and turned it into a grown-up dream.

Marsha began musing on the concept for joey notes fourdecades ago. As a child, she saw a jack-o-lantern card in a 1950’sChildcra book. She was disappointed that when she pulled thestem, nothing but a plain black card appeared. “at’s not fun. It’snot clever enough,” she thought. From that moment forward, theidea was alive.

From time to time she would doodle better solutions, trying tofigure out how to make a pocket card really pay off, but it wasn’tuntil the early 90’s that her idea finally clicked. Marsha was asuccessful graphic designer and head of her own firm, Folio Design.A client was looking for the perfect dinner invitation. In response,Marsha designed a place setting pocket card; when the recipientpulled the napkin and fork out, the invitation revealed itself. ekey, she discovered, to making a pocket card clever enough was fullyintegrating the insert card with the pocket, revealing a surprise that’ssmart and fun.

e invitation was a hit and friends encouraged Marsha topursue it further but her design business was booming and she hada family. Folio grew, the economy slowed, and in 2007 Marshafound herself with three great designers on staff. Some would haveadvised her to cut back, but Marsha did something radical instead;she decided to pursue her dream and joey notes was born.

Armed with sketches of plates, cakes, and dresser drawers,she brought her brainchild to Nancy Houseknecht, Folio’s ArtDirector. Nancy helped Marsha stretch the line, adding her lively,whimsical sense of humor and playful illustration style. Brain-storming sessions produced dozens of concepts, format ideas, anda name for the new business. e team agreed it was time to takejoey notes to the industry and see how they would be received.

joey notes first sample book consisted of 12, digitallyprinted, hand trimmed and glued cards. Marsha packed her bagsand headed to the National Stationery Show (NSS) in Manhattan.Up and back in a day, she walked through the hundreds of

exhibiting vendors and met with successful card manufacturer,Marsha Carrington and principal, Laura Leigh of NYC’s AlpineCreative Group, who graciously shared their knowledge of thecard industry. e trip provided all the encouragement Marshaneeded to continue.

Marsha contracted with an intellectual property lawyer totrademark the joey notes name and obtain copyrights. Shortly aer,Scott Gardiner of B Creative, a Charlottesville based licensingcompany, asked for permission to shop joey notes to six major cardcompanies, including Papyrus, Hallmark Australia, and LeaningTree. joey notes made it to the final round of negotiations withLeaning Tree, narrowly missing having its entire line purchased bythe mega-retailer. Undaunted, Marsha and Nancy kept turning outideas and improving the product.

In 2009, Marsha took joey notes to Independent Printing, acompany specializing in greeting cards. Print rep Sue Charlierturned out to be something of a fairy godmother for joey notes. Shehelped modify the print format, suggested alternate paper stocks,brought the price point down, and perhaps most importantly,believed so strongly in the product that Independent sponsored anentry into the Greeting Card Association’s international LOUIEAwards. Marsha followed her lead and entered another five designs.Out of thousands of cards entered, three joey notes were selected asfinalists in three categories.

With the announcement of the LOUIE finalists, Sue encour-aged Marsha to capitalize on the nominations and exhibit at the2010 National Stationery Show in Manhattan. With only twomonths to prepare, the joey notes crew went into full swing,designing a booth, making travel arrangements, and creating acatalog and press kits. e show was a whirlwind, opening newdoors and providing a wealth of information on everything frompackaging to pitching. ey returned home exhausted but inspired.

joey notes recently launched it’s new commerce-ready website,www.joeynotes.com. Stationery Trends Magazine will feature a joeynote in the Fall 2010 issue. is year, Smith-Russell Associates willrepresent joey notes on a near-national scale. Greetings Etc. maga-zine’s website featured joey notes in August 2010, followed by afeature on Mohawk Paper’s website, Felt & Wire in September. Newdesigns are about to go to press and Marsha’s childhood conundrumhas brewed up into a grown-up’s dream.

In the last four years, Mid Valley Press has made the extra leap to honor clients bysponsoring the annual MVP Design Awards, a competition open to local graphicartists, recognizing excellence in design for print. Mid Valley Press elevated theirfourth annual MVP Design Awards to a new level of prestige by organizing an ex-hibition and holding a champagne luncheon and gallery opening for the eighteen

award winners and their guests. e MVP Design Awards exhibition was held in April at the R. R. Smith Center for

History and Art, and with the cooperation of Staunton Augusta Art Center, was a featuredexhibition in downtown Staunton’s Fourth Friday Art Walk. e exhibition was open to thepublic and covered by local news outlets in both print and television.

Designers across central Virginia and the Blue Ridge were invited to submit up to fiveworks for consideration. Janly Jaggard, judge of the 2009 MVP Design Awards, local fineartist and part-time instructor at the Beverley Street Studio School in Staunton, evaluatedover one hundred entries based on clarity, effectiveness of design and creativity.

“e visual arts demand sensitivity to all aspects of the work regardless of whether theartist holds a pencil, paintbrush, hammer and chisel, or computer mouse. It is apparent that

artistry in graphic design is alive and well. However, likemany areas of our lives where computer soware deludesthe inexperienced and lures them into thinking that‘press play’ determines a successful piece, the best workstill comes from the hand of the trained eye and the truecreative thinker. e pieces I judged throughout theMVP Design Awards represent this kind of higherquality work,” said Jaggard.

In an area already valued for its authenticity and uniqueness, it should come as nosurprise that the graphic arts community continues to thrive despite the currenteconomic state. Robert Schreiber, President of Mid Valley Press states, “We all know howimportant it is to market your business in a weak economy. Fortunately, with the rangeand talent of designers like these, local businesses have great choices available to them.”At the conclusion of the 2009 MVP Design Awards ceremony, Schreiber thanked awardwinners and guests for their participation, continued support, and alluded to an evenmore exciting and extravagant show of events for next year’s fih anniversary of theMVP Design Awards.

What have you changed about yourself in the last five years?I experienced the difference betweenbenefiting myself and benefiting others;and thus shifted from working for profitto working to help others.

You can meet one famous person, dead or alive. Who is it?Benjamin Franklin.

How do you deal with creative block? Get away from it. Go browse the magazinerack at the book store—buy the first threemagazines that grab my attention andpage through them without reading.

What’s the best advice you ever received?Never do anything for yourself, if you canhire someone to do it for you —especiallyif they can do it better!" (Bill Bernbach)

Closing oughtsIt's been said "there are no new ideas ...only interpretations of old ones." Whilethis may be true, creativity withoutcause is vanity. True creativity succeedsthrough the ability to changeperspectives, identify and act upon theunexpected, and remove all the barriersthat inhibit understanding—when itachieves those goals, it is lasting.


Just this week I heard from twocompanies who used vendors whowere not local. One vendor wasout-of-state and one was actuallyout of the country. In both cases

they had less than desirable outcomes andwere contacting me for assistance.

e first company I heard about this weekwas a company who contracted with a webdeveloper outside the country. Price mostlikely drove his decision. e website hadmany misspellings, grammatical errors, poorcopywriting, poor design and many moreproblems. e company had to pay thisvendor, let them go, and had to hire anothervendor locally. Now the company is spendingmore money to fix these problems.

e second company hired an out-of-state vendor to work on their website. iscompany received a referral from a friend ofthe vendor. e vendor was not vettedthoroughly and the outcome caused manyproblems. We usually trust referrals and rarelyqualify them to make sure they are goodreferrals. e best thing to do when youreceive a referral is to interview them, ask forreferences, ask to see samples of their work orcase studies, and check them out just as youwould anyone else. Ask for a proposal orestimate and get a face-to-face meeting.

In both these examples, face-to-face timewas missing and the ability to vet the vendorthoroughly was missing. When you do notwork with someone local, there is no face-to-face time, a key component to a successfuloutcome. Additionally, when you work with alocal company, if they have a bad or excellentreputation, word is usually out about it. Usinga vendor that is not local does not allow acompany to find out this information aseasily, if at all.

There are many advantages to workingwith local vendors versus vendors out-of-state or out of the country:n A local vendor has a thorough knowledge of

your local market.n If they have been in business for some time,

they should have local references that youcan easily contact.

n You get valuable face time with your serviceprovider, which greatly reducesmisunderstandings that happen via email.Communication barriers no longer exist.

n You can check with the local Better BusinessBureau (BBB) if there are any complaintsabout the company and the status of thosecomplaints.

n Selecting a vendor with a proven track recordis important. A vendor with an excellentreputation is usually known in the localcommunity and a vendor with a bad reputationis also usually known in the local community.

n Hiring an out-of-state company and/or out ofthe country company, does nothing to stimulatethe local economy. If a reputable vendor can befound locally, they should be used.
