NEW SITE! Phillip’s Hobbies Website Design ($397 Brass Ring Multimedia WordPress Special!)

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:39:14 +0000

WordPress website design for Phillip Huston, one of Southern California premiere model building authorities. His business, Phillip’s Hobbies in Lakeside, California offers everything the plastic modeling enthusiast could need to pursue his hobby: kits, tools, paints, books and other useful resources, including Phillip himself! Phillip had a problem, however, his website’s archaic design and his inability to update and maintain it. Phillip’s “old” website had been languishing unattended as do so many small business sites and was a perfect candidate for the control and flexibility the WordPress platform offers. Bringing WordPress website design to Phillip’s Hobbies puts new power in Phillip’s hands.

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:08:09 +0000

WordPress website design for Gussler’s Firearm Transfers & Repairs. Don Gussler is my choice for firearms transfers and gunsmithing needs. He’s “my gunsmith.” I was pleased with the opportunity to build one of my $397 WordPress specials for him including an upgrade to the existing Gussler’s logo. Gussler’s was established in 1988 and expanded in 2005 to include gun shows and internet transfers. At the local gun shows they proved ourselves as a transfer dealer for private party transfers and a place for out of area dealers to transfer guns to and for local residents to start and complete federal and state mandated

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:07:33 +0000

As the webmaster for the concerts, I try to get to as many of the shows as I can to grab pictures and enjoy the great time. Yesterday, I was fortunate to be in attendance at the kick-off of La Jolla Concerts By the Sea’s 28th season. Also, this year, my 16 year old daughter, Amethyst was helping out La Jolla Kiwanis, one of the sponsors for the events. She belongs to Key Club at La Jolla High School and she and some of her fellow Key-clubbers were on hand to help out as volunteers with set-up, concession sales, etc. My

American Home Entertainment Banner

I’ve been providing WordPress website design and search engine optimization consulting services for American Home Entertainment (AHE), a Kearny Mesa, San Diego-based company specializing in custom design and installations for home theater, home automation, lighting control systems, security and surveillance systems. I’m helping them develop a WordPress-based website to replace their current site.

Gussler’s Firearms is a Santee-based business specializing in firearms transfers (FFL), repairs & gunsmithing. (He’s my FFL & gunsmith as a matter of fact). As a product of designing his website, it became part of the project to “upgrade” his logo. (You can see client’s original logo at the bottom.)

WordPress website design for De Chiel Firearms. De Chiel Firearms is a San Diego-based Discount firearms dealer who needed a great site design solution on a budget…a PERFECT candidate for a WordPress solution. This project included NO graphic or logo design. (Though I did use a header banner I created using a photo of the owner’s beloved Douglas A-1 “Spad” airplane…a craft he lovingly flew in his service days along with a photo of an aged rendition of his family’s crest. So a LITTLE design, though I didn’t really charge for it.) Like many other small business sites, De Chiel original/former

This one came from my buddy August (“Gus”) Boyd in San Diego: ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou. ABBOTT: Your computer? COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer.

La Jolla Coastline Digital Image (for La Jolla Meals On Wheels Home Page)

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 08:30:20 +0000

I created this image for La Jolla Meals On Wheels. Wanting a soft, impressionistic feel, I used some of the artistic filters, etc. in Adobe Photoshop, one of my favorite playthings. Click on the image to see it enlarged and you’ll better see the “painterly” effect. (Thanks to the La Jolla Light newspaper for providing the original photograph on which this image is based.)

All 50 Corvette Website Design

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 08:12:37 +0000

This has been a favorite project of mine. I enjoyed participating in Ray Ehly, Jr.’s roadtrip. He took museum delivery (at the Corvette Museum adjacent to the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky) of a brand-new, top of the line Corvette Z06. He then drove it in ONE CONTINOUS loop to “ALL 50” United States. (Yes, Hawaii and Alaska too.) You can read all about it on the site I did for Ray in 2003. Check out “Ray’s Journal” for day-by-day details and images from this amazing adventure: www.All50Corvette.com Here’s info. from Ray’s “About” page: Ray Ehly, Jr. introduces his

Sundiata Kata Productions Logo Design

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 07:48:41 +0000

Sundiata Kata has dedicated his musical career to bringing joy and the magic of music to the community’s children, youth, and adults. He first designed a healing music program for emotionally disturbed children at San Diego Center for Children in 1988 and since then has developed percussion programs for companies, hospitals, hospices, after-school programs, and service organizations. “The heart,” he says, “is the original drum that gives each of us natural musical ability. If your heart beats, you have rhythm!”

Sundiata Kata Productions is the business incarnation of San Diego legend Mr. Sundiata Kata. Sundiata, music & performing arts director at the San Diego Center for Children, is a well-loved musician and educator who helps people through the healing power of music. My daughter and I met Sundiata and his family, when they facilitated a drumming circle at a family camp we attended through a local hospice organization. (Hospice of The North Coast) A relationship developed with these nice people and helping him present his drumming presentations to corporate and other entities who wanted to take advantage of the healing and

Norma-Jean Strickland, Copywriter & Consultant Website Design

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 07:10:04 +0000

Website design for copywriter & writing consultant Norma-Jean Strickland. Contemporary, yet retro and time-less design focus on antique typewriter keys and graphic featuring the word “idea” along with a background which shows words winding in an around each other. Norma-Jean (as am I) is a “purple fan,” hence the tinting. I’m quite fond and proud of this design.

Web design for Norma-Jean Strickland, voice-over artist. “NJ” brought me a caricature drawn by artist Joe Schmidt, and wished it to feature prominently in her website design. Home page navigation features comic-book style “word bubbles” and a dynamic “burst” on the vintage microphone calls up a pop-window with voice samples.

“Ron J” Jones Website Design

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 06:40:57 +0000

One of the great things about being me is that I specialize in serving the community of La Jolla, California where I grew up. As such, I get to work with my friends and neighbors. One such friend is Mr. “Ron J” Jones, popular and very active La Jolla community members. Ron is a long-time dear friend and I enjoyed the opportunity to help him present his company, Allegro Entertainment and himself online. Though Ron’s “CD-trola” (my term) design was already created before I entered the project, it became my task to create a web design around that focal point.

Treasure Vacations Logo Design

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 06:30:08 +0000

Logo design became part of, and a natural off-shoot of the web design. The client wanted a “treasure” (obviously) design theme…there are all kinds of tropical and “piratical” imagery throughout the site and an appropriate logo was needed. Treasure Vacations is a travel company based in San Diego, California which dedicates itself to Honeymoon vacations. They provide all-inclusive trips to beautiful and exotic locales in virtually every corner of the globe.

Joe Diorio, Jazz Guitar Legend, Magazine Ad Layout (incl. logo design)

Edward A. Sanchez, Brass Ring Web Design — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 06:10:25 +0000

I had the pleasure and honor to put together both a logo and magazine ad for jazz guitar great Joe Diorio. I’d done previous work for his webmaster (see “Cash Faucet” post earlier) on behalf of technology giant Hewlett-Packard. This was particularly challenging because the photos I was given to work from were snapshots taken under less than optimal conditions. I’ve found that, when that happens (especially when the budget’s tight), I turn the lemons into lemonade by using the “obstacle” as the guide for the art. The blurriness of the originals begat the direction of the digital final product.

Hewlett-Packard “Cash Faucet” Digital Image Creation Project

A friend of mine who runs technology giant Hewlett-Packard‘s business IT solutions division approached me wanting to create an ad campaign which featured his idea of a “cash faucet.” He wanted me to help him convey as a metaphor the idea that his division could create cash flow for his customers. This image was the result. The image was revealed at a Hewlett-Packard National Managers Symposium back east and received “oohs and ahs” when projected HUGE on a screen in the presentation hall. As a result, they purchased additional rights to the image for use in additional promotional pieces and
