The Art of Business.

Business cards, announcements, logos and the like need not be dull to attract new clients to your shop.
If you want a sophisticated clientelle make sure the collateral they see is equally sophisticated. Don't aim for the lowest common denominator, unless those are the people you want stumbling about your china shop.

Pictures speak a thousand words, give or take a few. They may suggest a particular mood through the style of rendering.
Couple the image with the correct printed words and you'll be on your way to a corporate identity!

Make all your graphic items belong to the same family, visually speaking. Yet make sure the design of each element is done with care. Enlarging a business card to be used on a six foot long banner will just not do. Chances are the proportions of the banner are different from that of the card.
Don't stop the design work once you have a logo and letterhead. Everything you put out there from the website to posters to the color of the upolstry of your corporate jet can be thoughtfully chosen to fit your aesthetic.
Even the labels you put on a shipping box can be unique to you.

Now that you have their business, don't send them an over-the-counter store-bought invoice. Send them something as individual as the products you sell. This is what I send out to my clients.
