"Many graphic designers expect you to tell them exactly what you want so that they can execute to your spec.  What’s great about working with David is that the process is really a partnership between the two of you.  David worked very hard to understand my business, my services, and my personality.  We worked together to create a product that far exceeded my expectations.  We tried alternatives, gave each other honest feedback, and went through numerous edits and adjustments to get to the final result.  He is so easy to work with, so flexible, and has a great sense of humor! 
I highly recommend D2 Studios to anyone seeking a designer who will spend the time required to understand your unique vision.  David will transform that vision into a clear, compelling and attractive design."

We know these ads do not come cheap and as a rep firm we appreciate the extra effort put forward on a corporate level to help us archive bigger sales numbers.The ad is very professional and rivals anything put out by the competition and will have an impact!

"David's reputation in our Chamber is extremely positive. He is respected as a talented designer that offers tremendous value. During the "Thank You" portion of several of our events David's name is frequently mentioned. He is creative and professional because he always delivers his finished product within deadline. He has been designing ad's for our Chamber for several months and we will continue to use his services. I highly recommend David for all your design projects."

Here's a template for the latest iteration of Facebook Timeline. It will allow you to accurately position any type and images. Please note that if you put a logo in the small box make sure it is cropped to the proper dimensions or it may get cropped in an unexpected way. I find its best to just use a logo graphic without type and put the company name in the larger area.
Enjoy

Sometimes its best for the clients to speak for themselves.

Having just recently worked with David on the daunting task of creating a new catalog (any entrepreneur knows how difficult that can be) for our company, I can honestly say that David has the patience of a saint, and believe me, his patience was tried continuously. From David’s initial design to the final catalog, we went through many, many revisions, due solely to our company constantly adding and changing ideas, and David managed all of them beautifully, both in his patience and design. We were thrilled with the final product and David’s creativity and expertise in marketing and design that made the final product so appealing. He is also an incredibly gifted artist and just an all around great guy! Oh, and did I mention that he came in at way less than our original budget and half the price of competitors?! I highly recommend David without any reservation whatsoever! Great Job, David, thank you so very much!
