Hi, and welcome to the new Designs by Taz blogsite! I’m Taz, a photographer and graphic designer, helping photographers worldwide brand their studios. Here you can get inspired by identity and collateral pieces I’ve created for others and get a feel for my clean and simple style. You can also check out my holiday card, baby announcement, and album templates.

Please drop me a line through the contact link above, I’d love to talk to you about your studio branding and how I can be involved!

Over the Labor Day weekend while people are out having fun…I will be moving. From a 3rd floor walk-up to a 3rd floor walk-up. I’m at the mercy of Comcast when I will have internet, so bear with me and hopefully I’ll be connected again soon!

All emails and any templates purchased will be sent out ASAP when I’m back online

Well I’m back from the Cape, rested and relaxed (no internet for 3 whole days?? oh my!) and ready to show off some goods. Remember the logo a blogged a bit ago for Rebecca-Linh Rogers? I have created a complete branding set for her, with a “sleek meets Anthropologie” feel. I love that constrast with the dark and light…enjoy your new look Rebecca-Linh!

Isn’t it cool that Leslie’s initials form into a heart? Leslie wanted to use her initials, but attach them in a unique way, and we’ve done just that. Love using pink in a logo as well. I’ll be creating a blog header for her also, so stay tuned for Leslie’s new blog.

Modern is the new black. I just love the clean sleek lines in this design, inspired by the logo that Becky of Abernathy Photographics came to me with. By pulling in a lemon-lime to pop her existing colors, a great branding color scheme was born! I designed letterhead, a business card, and a note card to coordinate the look.

Thanks Becky!

I’m so excited to introduce two new collections, “Contemporary Christmas” and “Hello Holidays”. In typical Designs by Taz fashion, these card templates are fresh, colorful and will showcase your photography beautifully.

Each collection features 10 designs. “Contemporary Christmas” has 10 front designs, and “Hello Holidays” has 5 fronts and 5 insides, perfect for those press printed products. Templates are .PSD files for 5×7 cards (created on WHCC’s press print guides). All colors, text and elements are fully editable. As always, you must be able to open and edit .psd files. Due to the digital nature of this product, there are absolutely no refunds.Each collection is $50 and payment can be sent to Taslim@bringtolightphotography.comCheck out some closeups

Just a friendly reminder - these templates are for limited commercial or personal use. Professional photographers may create custom items for their clients using your own photography and have them printed or give a flattened jpeg. It is against the Terms of Use to sell these designs on Ebay, Etsy, or other auction sites as printed items for the general public or otherwise. And of course, do not resell, share or otherwise give an electronic copy to anyone.

Just a heads up, I’ll be out of the office next weekend - taking off for a 3 day weekend on the Cape. All current clients will have concepts or final files in their hands Friday afternoon. I’ll answer all emails Tuesday when I return

I am busy finishing up my 2008 holiday card collections, but I had to show a sample of what I’ve been working on because I am IN LOVE with the fresh colors. I’m also designing matching phrases for some of the collection to coordinate the look for press printed cards. These will officially be for sale here on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

And *thank you* Shellie Gansz for allowing me feature your gorgeous photos

Just one spot left for the month of September! If you are interested, be sure to contact me as quickly as possible.

As a reminder, I take just 4 new clients per month. If you are a previous client of mine and want additional items, please contact me for availability.

Thanks

Some of you may remember the logo and brand package I created last year for Kami Laux.

I’ve just finished a 5×5 trifold to coordinate with her look, tying in a damask pattern that matches her packaging materials. Its not pictured here but a matching 5×5 insert was also created that lists her policies, a perfect way to present that necessary “fine print”.

Thanks Kami

This certainly has been the week for logos! I’m happy to show off Melissa’s new logo, part of a new branding package to come. The clean, modern look will certainly complement her photography.

Introducing a new logo for Rebecca at Rebecca-Linh Rodgers Photographer, better known as R-LR. Just part of a new branding package to come. I love the yellow- its fresh and fierce at the same time!

Launching a new logo for Angela K Photography

Thanks Angie

Its hard to believe, but the holiday season rush is right around the corner. I am designing a new holiday 08 collection of card templates this year, but I wanted to offer a special for those that are ready to get in gear. By far, my best selling templates have been my holiday collections which are fun, modern and colorful - and I’m putting them on sale! Through July 4th, purchase the 06 Holiday Collection 1 or 2, or the 07 Holiday Love Collection (regularly $45 and $50 repectively) for just $30/set.

Send PayPal payment to Taslim AT bringtolightphotography.com and indicate which set or sets you’d like. Files will be emailed within 24 hours.

A few extra goodies for Janet Whalen to match her logo, a blog header and business card. I love the contrast between in the funky colors and the sweet and simple design.
