<![CDATA[May brings new business "cards"]]>Mon, 08 May 2017 00:18:19 GMThttp://butler-studio.com/blog/may-brings-new-business-cards
Creating the perfect business card is a daunting task , but then I stepped back and remembered my graphic design mentors old sayings "less is more" so I used as little as possible. Thank you Greg Stiles. Simple and elegant was the goal of this design and we believe  we nailed it! The print service we chose for our first set of cards was Vistaprint.com, but we plan on using goprint.com in the future. They sent us a sample pack of print material that in my opinion shows that they are a top notch print center. The samples definitely are as good or better than Vistaprint, and at a better price point too.

We had a really good time at The Great Spokane Art Party. Apollos, Trina and I all took turns as the Photographer. We set a custom graphic and wifi printing system through LR (Lightroom) we cut print time in half. The food was great the atmosphere was intense (we could of serviced double with the new system) oh and I liked the wine selection.

<![CDATA[Fruit Head]]>Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:30:51 GMThttp://butler-studio.com/blog/fruit-head
My Niece has a love for fruit so I decided to turn her into a fruit head. This photo shoot consisted of shooting a strawberry and then shooting her separately. I have included the raw images so you can see how this started.  I cut the strawberry out using the quick selection tool and the the lasso tool to get the perfect selectionin photoshop. I used several layers of the the strawberry at different  opacities and blend modes to get it to blend into her face. I decide to put a new background which is of a door from our trip to England about eight years ago. This was a challenge figuring out how to perfect this but it was a lot of fun.

<![CDATA[Ben Burr Trail]]>Tue, 20 Oct 2015 21:09:49 GMThttp://butler-studio.com/blog/ben-burr-trail1
The Ben Burr trail is a trail that is a mile long. It runs from Liberty Park to Under hill Park. It was originally a rail road line. The trail was named after Ben Burr who worked for the great northern railway for forty-eight years. This is a great place to walk your dog, run or bike. When you are on the trail it feels like you are out in the forest, although you are a couple minutes from downtown Spokane. Our dog loves to go and run on the trail. There are plans of paving the trail. I think that this is going to ruin the enjoyment of the environment. They will remove several trees to make the trail wider and then put up a railing. I think this is all ridiculous. There is no need to put up a railing because no one has ever been hurt on the trail from not having a railing. I think that the should preserve the natural environment of the trail. I hope that they end up leaving it the way it is.
