5 improvements my amazing graphic designer made that you can use too!
My Tech Tutor had a makeover, and I have been meaning to tell you about it!
When I started My Tech Tutor, I knew I needed business cards, so I designed my own business card. By myself. I created my logo (which I still use and I like very much) Using Photoshop. And I had them printed and began to hand them out like candy.
-
- I did it myself. My business card. I created it in Photoshop. My Tech Tutor business card.
And then, I started to go to conferences and meetings to meet new people and (hopefully) have more opportunities to work with clients. So I needed some promotional literature that tells you something more about why you might want to work with My Tech Tutor. I created an avatar (that’s the cartoon-like representation of me).
And I had some speaking engagements and handed out the promotional cards at the meetings and conferences.
Then Estee Cohen, of esteedesigns.com told me she was going to redesign my business card and promotional card for me and make it better.
I was skeptical. Why should I have someone else do this for me when I was perfectly happy with the way it was? Sound familiar? Well, as we all know, and continue to learn over and over again, when a gifted professional does work for you, in their specialty, there is a great likelihood that their work will be a lot better than what you can manage to do for yourself.

- First promotional card-created by me in Photoshop in 2014 for Temech Conference
-
- This is the reverse side of the first card.
-
- 2nd version, updated by me, for the 2015 ITA Conference. More readable, so I thought. And I was happy with my work.
-
- I improved it somewhat, so I thought…
-
- Then graphic designer virtuoso, Estee Cohen updated it for me in time for the 2016 ITA Conference.
-
- I improved it somewhat, so I thought… But what Estee Designs did… Well she took what I had and made it so much better! Estee made it POP! I love that the words are nearly the same, the message is still mine, but visually it is on a higher level.
And incidentally, along the way, more than one person recommended to me that I use my image, instead of an avatar, or some other clip art person, so yes, that’s me!
Remember, it’s easy when you know how, but sometimes it pays to hire a professional. You can do it too!
