I Hope This Works

i've been doing some work for a local magician and all-around nice guy, Brian Curry. which is pretty keen, cos it's fun to do freelance work for someone you like and who is easy-going.

first i did a logo for his 'company,' Magic & Mischief. then i did some flyers and a couple postcards. it was neat when he got a call the very next day after mailing a postcard i designed for his new school show. i mean, sure, it was prolly the show and not the postcard that got the call, but at least they read it!

i mentioned that my paper was running a special section, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner, since he does B'nai Mitzvah work. he decided to run an ad, and i put him in touch with one of our sales reps. i really thought at first (not knowing the ad prices) that the ads would be more than his promotional budget would allow, but the next thing i knew, he was in for a quarter page ad (pretty big) and full colour.

and then i designed it for him.

either of these two circumstances, by themselves, would be fine. but the fact that i kind of 'sold' him the ad and i designed it is making me nervous. so i really really really really really really really hope he at least gets some calls, if not a booking. because otherwise i'll feel L.A.M.E.

so if you know anyone planning a bar or bat mitzvah, hook me up, aight?
