Samuel! I need a brochure and business cards for a meeting!

In my industry…I need it today or tomorrow is normal. That’s just how it is in our industry of graphic design and advertising. Clients always think of the handout, the business card or the posters at the last minute. Because they’re business preparing the big picture. Hey! that’s ok! We’re here for you…this is what we do. Call us (804-545-7503) even if you don’t have a last minute project. When having a last minute project it’s best to hire someone with experience because the last thing you don’t want to do is spend precious time and money with a bad product at the end. Samuel Little Graphic Design will steer you in the right direction.

Here’s a few questions we’ll ask when you call:
• What is the project you want done?
• What is your deadline?
• Where do you need the project delivered or is it for pickup?
• For a printed piece, we’ll need to know this: quantity, size, colors (usually 4 color), 1 side or 2 sides, stock (paper). Once we have this information we can get a quote for you from the printer. We use local printers to support our local economy and you should too…it pays off.
• Do you have the materials (photos/text/copy/logos/font names/colors) to produce the piece or do we have to produce it?
• How many people are in the approval process. The less people, the faster the proofing process goes. So, if you have a fast turn-around project, we would suggest having one person have the final say…otherwise it could be costly in dollars and time. And most of the time – time we do not have.

If all of these questions are answered then I can give you a time schedule and costs of the project.

Give Samuel Little Graphic Design a call at 804-545-7503 (or visit our web site for more information) for your print design and printing projects. We have the experience and know-how to complete a project on time. We ask the right questions to get the best results for any project. We don’t promise what we can’t deliver. Samuel Little Graphic Design has been in business since 1995 with over 25 years of graphic design and advertising experience.

2009 Ukrops 10K, Richmond, Virginia – 3rd Annual

This was our 3rd annual Ukrops 10K. Congratulations to the runners/walkers this year: Sarah Garcia, Victor Garcia, China Garcia-Little (newcomer), Samuel Little and Donna Gregory (newcomer).

The weather station was calling for rain over the weekend of the race (March 28, 2009). So we were prepared same as last year for the rain. There is no preparedness for rain…just that you know you’re gonna get wet. As race day came it looked like there was not going to be any rain and there wasn’t. It was a good day for a race. Not hot, not cold…but just right.

Most of the crew trained for the race, I did not. In fact, I trained less this year than last year and it showed. I had a blow out on my right ankle about the 4th mile marker…so I limped the rest of the way. Donna and I stuck together during the race, this was Donna’s first big race…she said she had been in some 5K races earlier in this year. I hope we have her hooked. Sarah on the other hand, did great, she beat her past record and ran the 10K in less than an hour…we are really excited for her-woohoo. We are also excited for my wife China. Only about a year ago she would walk sparingly. Now after a few months of training, (she works out at the gym about 4-5 days a week) she’s beating us in the 10K. We’re really glad to see her out there with us participating.

SLGD 10K T-shirt DesignAfter the race we found each other and got our usual refreshments, a bagel, powerade, banana, apple and some freebies from the vendors. And of course we were all walking funny from the soreness. After, we got home and took photos, Victor & Sarah took China and I out for lunch…(thanks). After China and I got back home it felt really good to take a nice long HOT shower. I’m sure the rest did the same…and a lil nap as well.

The race was managed by sportsbackers.org

This year’s race was not sponsored by Samuel Little Graphic Design with a commemorative t-shirt like in the past. But a t-shirt design was made…the printing of the t-shirts were not in the budget this year. To the right is this year’s design for the 3rd annual 10K t-shirt by Samuel Little Graphic Design>

Third annual SLGD Ntelos 8K race, 2008.
My thanks goes out to Victor and Sarah Garcia on a successful run/walk in the Ntelos 8K this year on November 15, 2008. They were sponsored by Samuel Little Graphic Design (SLGD.COM) a web and print advertising design company. This is the third year that SLGD has sponsored it’s members for the Ntelos 8k. Just days before the race it looked like it was going to be cold and rainy and it was looking like we were not going to the race. So the morning of the race we decided go and make the best of whatever came our way. Once we got to the race location, it was overcast but no rain…perfect weather for a race. As you see in the photo that we’re huffing and puffing because it was actually hot not cold for the race. I had to shed my hat at around the last mile of the race which kept in most of my body heat. This race is a personal goal for me to reach each year and it’s great to have others join me so that they can reach their goals as well. Sarah beat us all this year. Congratulations Sarah! Sarah Garcia and Victor Garcia both beat their times from last year. Samuel’s time was about 2 minutes longer than last year’s time which he contributes to his iPod earphones not staying in properly which required attention. Time for new earplugs! Samuel Little Graphic Design, designs a shirt for it’s runners/walkers for the race each year.
