I'll try to release the collection at the end of this coming week, right before we send out the next <a href="http://wallwritten.com/FormInfo/NewsletterSignup.html">newsletter</a>. My only problem is, I can no longer design anything. You see, since I made this latest creation, all I can do is stare at it and smile dreamily. I want one in our office, so I can gaze at it on the wall. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wallwritten.com/Statements/PreDesignedItemsFrame.php?iNum=10837&"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 345px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3K-8QGRHbGl2t66yzlpPXmNpzFYy7PBrV0HrQotvm5JYP5g77mJ6Er3N7GjQ0m5zreL8ChtJOEtbpTmG0t-b2Q8T9TDRbLQGA3hLIDdowbtggbOg3xz7eQIlcpGfdT8kKSdGIsjBbFOkP/s400/Emerson-Success.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474208208011576418" border="0" /></a>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973363614521430711noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846859775922310663.post-64941064484838580662010-05-21T17:00:00.000-06:002010-05-21T17:00:00.904-06:00Father's Day CollectionSorry I've been away for so long!

We have some awesome and dead useful <a href="http://wallwritten.com/Videos/Step1.html">instructional videos</a> showing the step-by-step application of a Wall Written Statement.<br />We made these videos by borrowing my dad's sweet video camera, then my sister, Natalie, had a five minute lesson on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">videography</span>, and we cranked out some movies like it's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">nobody's</span> business. Having no previous editing experience, I sat down for two days and put together some rough-but-good-enough videos for your viewing pleasure.<br />The clincher (and what's been giving me that irritated twitch whenever I so much as <span style="font-style: italic;">think </span>of YouTube) is: when I rendered the good-enough videos, they became blurry and <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>good enough anymore.<br />Want to see one and decide for yourself? I present to you Exhibit A: Blurry Step One Video:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Ocu3f9PppA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Ocu3f9PppA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />BUT (<span style="font-style: italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">eedle</span><span style="font-style: italic;">-</span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">deedle</span><span style="font-style: italic;">!</span>) today I was able to sit down with an awesome <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">videographer</span> who is going to edit our videos and re-render them for us within the next week or two. I'm so excited!<br />Another cause for excitement, is that we'll probably be able to make some more useful videos with application tips, design ideas and craft projects, as well as some tutorials for our website. So look forward to that for the summer.<br />Does anybody have a suggestion for a video project you'd like to see us make?

A few months ago a customer sent in this picture of her design, and we noticed a couple of problems. The first was that one of her letters (check out the "G" of the last word "Goodnight") had ripped, and only part of it was on her wall. She hadn't complained (and maybe didn't notice), but as I've said before, we take care of our customers. We immediately sent out the replacement letter - and she got it a couple days later.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWNNXGg6SvtQ9-pLNdhU_EllBcl-yX34qYwpN6urqGAOyGi8PjjsAF-d0QSt-Zx6Z4MJBeSqudp6jvkE_yPSwNfSFSwgTjiOmsCDbUBMSM5mPjke9rhvFQiT2uq5thK14B7SESyYmvTvG/s1600/KateArgiroMistakes.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 126px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWNNXGg6SvtQ9-pLNdhU_EllBcl-yX34qYwpN6urqGAOyGi8PjjsAF-d0QSt-Zx6Z4MJBeSqudp6jvkE_yPSwNfSFSwgTjiOmsCDbUBMSM5mPjke9rhvFQiT2uq5thK14B7SESyYmvTvG/s400/KateArgiroMistakes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459117079978480018" border="0" /></a>The other problem we found with her photo, is that she left in one of the "Alignment Diamonds".<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTbjPD1z_VVvksmPa2a-7ZiCM9Fc5DYd_iI9DTfOVvhfTjo0aUhMmgn71-3OgppGA-RzMXBt7Zs-Qf0yL7yp0SWUgw8Yks4Nof8UmmhdYdhs9lSiHNkqWIa4FtHa9utMbgVf2jfTxoFmi/s1600/Inner+Diamonds.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 78px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTbjPD1z_VVvksmPa2a-7ZiCM9Fc5DYd_iI9DTfOVvhfTjo0aUhMmgn71-3OgppGA-RzMXBt7Zs-Qf0yL7yp0SWUgw8Yks4Nof8UmmhdYdhs9lSiHNkqWIa4FtHa9utMbgVf2jfTxoFmi/s400/Inner+Diamonds.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459119196432444882" border="0" /></a>(See it between the words "Kind" and "Prayer"?)<br /><br />We see this a lot, and always have customers calling us up asking what the deal is. Basically, on all the word-based designs we send, there are arrows marking the exact center point on the left, right, top and bottom of the design. These are to help you work out your positioning. On larger sized designs, we also place a diamond or two going through the exact middle horizontally. (You know, like marking the 'equator' of your design.)<br /><br />This is essentially to help people out with drawing that center line for the level. We try to make the diamonds close enough together that a person could have just a ruler to make their line, and wouldn't have to use a yard stick to match up the arrows on each side of the design.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BUT</span>- these diamonds are just tools for the application process, and are <span style="font-weight: bold;">meant to be removed</span>. :)<br /><br />I feel a little guilty, because they aren't mentioned in our instruction pamphlets, and I've seen lots of customer photos with random diamonds. So it's really my fault. And we'll get new pamphlets pretty soon, that are more clear about it.<br /><br />And I hope you'll all forgive me when I Photoshop out your diamonds.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973363614521430711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846859775922310663.post-31047867070449033362010-04-11T21:06:00.006-06:002010-06-04T13:15:18.942-06:00Customer Photo FollowupA couple weeks ago <a href="http://blog.wallwritten.com/2010/03/one-design-concept-three-ways.html">I blogged about</a> a custom monogram I had designed:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.wallwritten.com/2010/03/one-design-concept-three-ways.html"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHgMo6uEVDsZsEpO1YhLwQF6p0Dq8FfKtGH5EaLlJxGr46ed431AyCV_v5LeeWNVYvdIXPydLcIPoF9JhL2De6Pbe7ZL1Vu3ahFIEAy50egfTpawlbZpG3UWoxfKLzwa2XudGh5m_z2dse/s400/Sheriff.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459082263511902866" border="0" /></a>Today the customer posted this photo to our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/wallwritten">facebook page</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEc-RXs9ZEptEE9Qa2XzyKntU2sPyz6LHl0zSX74Cs_Y1OF1XG09soowgGWrHjjC798Tvqoh4X0KbkR2EHZh7apoyf6tBOixfXmRjRcNeRzGWNNH4OpefTIIjEDU4H5ASACrLhUZbrPJyT/s1600/Misty+Bradley+WOF+Submission.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEc-RXs9ZEptEE9Qa2XzyKntU2sPyz6LHl0zSX74Cs_Y1OF1XG09soowgGWrHjjC798Tvqoh4X0KbkR2EHZh7apoyf6tBOixfXmRjRcNeRzGWNNH4OpefTIIjEDU4H5ASACrLhUZbrPJyT/s400/Misty+Bradley+WOF+Submission.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459082256806937570" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="UIStory_Message">We finally finished putting up our Family Name wall art and we LOVE IT!
