Recreation in UtahNext month I will be moving from Las Vegas, NV to Saint George, UT. The move is a little unexpected but necessary and will benefit myself and my family. I have lived in Las Vegas for eighteen years. I have visited St. George before but never thought I would move there. Frankly, I never thought I would live anywhere but Las Vegas. St. George is quite different from Las Vegas in many ways such as: sheer size, liquor and beer only laws, non-legalized gambling, traffic and free-way systems (or lack thereof), recreational activities are much more abundant and prominent, the community and the housing.

I took a trip to St. George this weekend and while it is developed city it seems small to a Las Vegas native. There are a lot of things in Las Vegas that I love that I’m not going to be able to find in St. George. Certain restaurants and specialty grocery stores are top on the list. Driving from St. George to Las Vegas is an hour and a half drive, certainly to long to bring groceries back home. So I began to think, this could work towards my advantage. Why not bring my favorite parts of Las Vegas to St. George and start a business?

Here are some of the ideas that I came up that could quite potentially be great part and full-time work at home business to starts in smaller cities. Continue »

Baldy Dog LogoThere is a great contest going on over at Pixel Head Online. This is an amateur logo design contest that I wanted to throw my name in for. So this is my entry for the Logo Contest . There are a lot of great prizes available including an iPod shuffle which I could really use right now and a bunch of advertising which never hurts either.

Contests are great for networking and I often participate in contests that I find online. Including design challenges because they are the most fun. It’s great to see what everyone comes up with. I design for fun and as a hobby. I have never been paid for it.

I created a logo for Baldy Dog as you can see. I created the logo with Web 2.0 glass effect. The logo was created in Photoshop CS2. I used a rounded square shape then styled it with a custom gradient, inner glow and stroke. I added the text. I made the shadow by duplicating the layer, transforming it and changing the opacity. The reflection was made by rotating the canvas and styling with a gradient.

I think the end result looks fabulous.
