I am not a computer person I am an artist. That’s what I have been since I was 5. I started shooting while modeling in Paris and I didn’t go digital till 2002. Which meant no computers. I am not a graphic artist. I would prefer to move paint across paper than a mouse across a screen. But because I love the media of photography I have been stretching ever since. I found BF in 2006. Support was the most important thing to me and patience with nice people. Like I said I am not a computer person. I find myself in a work world that demands I be, but I am not. So I was clear I need happy patient kind people to work with me. I want to paint and photograph and write and now a light room and some Photoshop are fun, but SEO? What? Make a logo. I swear I want to swear and throw my camera. The process of working with BF these last 3 years has been a big learning experience. I decided they were patient and nice enough for me so I stayed and expanded. Then I needed and SEO, I knew BF had to do it. I think it was $800.00 a lot for me, but it was absolute magic I have like 70% score one of my computer grooms told me (he has in company in Chico ca for search engines stuff). I asked him if I should modify any of it. His response “Hell no, corporations would kill for this score”. So when it was time to redo my half made logo I knew where I needed to go. Big Folio represents quality with just the right amount of customer service and excellent delivery. Computers equal frustration and I don’t really have that with BF.
Jen is their girl for branding. I checked out her work and site and knew I would be pleased. She is wonderful. After a short conversation and an information sheet I filled out she delivered 3 ideas. I instantly loved #2. Here’s the email I sent her right after I got it. I scared her.
Dear Jen,
I am so awful picky about this stuff arg for me and those poor souls that work with me…I think they are all very good. I actually had a little prayer before I opened the file to please let me like one. But I LOVE number 2……Love. You Nailed it. You are damn good!!!
Love your new BF
Kim
I knew when I looked at her work that she had done for me, she had really listened to me. We went back and forth with a few small adjustments and it was finished…I am very pleased, which is rare.
I love Big Folio and I as I have been growing my little start up studio they have been growing with me. I like it that way.
