In our previous blogs, we've talked about things regarding the consumer. You know...the clients.
So now we want to talk directly to the artists. In this day and age, the artist (you) we're looking for can come from anywhere. Talent is talent! If you're good at what you do and are passionate about it, drop us a line. If you're just starting out or have been around, drop us a line. If you haven't thought about representation and now realize that "Hey! This could be a good thing!" Drop us a line. We look at ALOT of websites and are always in search of talent. So maybe if we see what you can do. We'll drop YOU a line. Our next blog will be here soon. We'll get back to the consumers and what we can do for you. So stay tuned and if you have the time, we'd like to hear from you. So... drop us a line!

Well we've been away for a bit and we're sorry for that, but business has been brisk and the demands for our time have kept us away for far too long.
So let's refresh your minds as to why we're here at all. Our philosophy is "In today's day and age, people don't have the time to keep up with the fast moving technology that's available. So let's connect them with artists that can do the work for them... At a fair price " The technology is all there, but really....who has the time to learn it all. All those videos that you've taken. Want to put them together and make something fun for someone's birthday or anniversary (or whatever...)? How about that website you've wanted to get online? What about choosing that photographer or videographer for your special event?The list goes on and on. Think of something... anything in the world of technology and media. We've got someone for everyone! There are artists out there that can help and we'll put you together with whatever your needs are. So there you have it. Now we need to get back to work.... and figure out what's in the next blog! We look at a lot of websites. We're talking thousands per year. We look for talent, creativity, originality, ease on the eyes, and beauty. When we find a website that has those qualities, we get excited. Why? Because they're rare.
Why do we look at all these websites? Good question. There are 2 reasons. 1.) We are always looking for new web designers to represent and 2.) We want to see exactly what's "out there" so we can determine whom we can help (maybe you?). We'll explain. Let's say we see 1000 websites a week (that's a conservative number). Of those 1000, 90% are.... how shall we say this...well....the term is "Not so good". That's 900 pretty weak web sites. The other 10% are sites that are very good. Some are great! You know who creates those sites? Web designers and graphic artists. A few photographers too. We go to those 10 per centers and see if they can help you out. In today's age of technology, we're made to think that we ALL can design our own websites. Well we don't believe that's true. We also don't think that you have the time to sit down and learn the fundamental and creative process that's necessary to have a good site. So... Let the pros do it! And we want to help. We represent creative designers that can at least get your site on line and ready for the world to see. Then it's up to you. We know... what will it cost? Another good question. Answer? It depends on what you want/need to do. The first step? Email us and let's get the ball rolling! Let's give you some scenarios... The company you worked for did some downsizing and you were one of the downsized. You have a hobby and want to make some money doing it. You don't like working with large groups of people and tend to want to work for yourself. You like the thought of working from your bed.
We can think of a few more, but we know you get where we're going... Right? That's right! You need a website! You've tried doing it yourself, but really.... there's a lot happening on those sites and it's overwhelming! What goes here? What goes there? What do you say in the copy? What does copy mean? What pictures do you use? Do you use pictures? Where do the pictures come from? Your camera? Your smart phone? How do you make it link?...Oh the questions you'll have!... Well that's where we come in. Email us (Look we put a link on our page!) and we'll set you up with some pretty good artists that can do it all for you. Will it cost money? Of course it will, but it will be worth it when your business starts getting busy! We want you to have a GREAT website created by some GREAT (and wildly creative) artists. And we'll try to keep your costs as low as we can. We understand how tough it is being a small business. We get it! All we want to do is help you get going. It helps all of us. You. Us. The Web Designer. So drop us a line. ASAP. Times wasting. This blog thing is pretty time consuming. We've asked ourselves "How the heck do people do this every day?" We couldn't come up with an answer. And we're not hiring somebody who's job would be blogging all day.
So last week after the usual discourse between ourselves, we DID think of something to blog about. We were thinking... Since we can do so many things for so many people (as you’ve noticed with our previous blogs), we’re going to put together a page with ALL the services we provide. We’re thinking maybe: 1.) What types of artists and services 2.) A description of each service 3.) Maybe some other "fun" fact you might like to know (or maybe something we think you should know). We’re pretty diverse and represent a wide selection of artists and media services, so it will take us some time to come up with this page. So bear with us. We’re sure you’ll be happy with how easy it will be for you to get past all those worries you’ve had all these years. Pretty big assumption we’re making huh?... Trust us we know... Think about this... Grandma and Grandpa aren’t going to be around forever. We’d like for them to be, but, well, you know... So what are we doing about our family histories? How about getting it on video for posterity? At the same time, you’d be surprised at what you’ll learn about your family! We’ll help get you all set up for anyone in the family (especially Gram and Gramps) to sit down and tell what they know about the family. You can have them “vamp” or we can assist you setting up the questions. Heck, we’ll sit down with you and help compose the questions. We’ll just play along and say it was “all” your idea.
But best of all? Grandma and Grandpa will be proud! Let’s get going... at least contact us and we’ll give you (lots) more details! We’ve been doing our research and have found some interesting statistics.
Ready? The life expectancy of magnetic tape (those VHS tapes from the 70’s and 80's that are in a box somewhere in your attic, basement or storage area.... well you know what we mean...) will last, and we quote “under ideal storage conditions, no more than 20 years. So let’s do the math. It’s 2011. Those tapes were shot, let’s say... for the sake of argument...1985. If our math is right, that’s 26 years. But and this is a BIG but (no pun intended), the key phrase is “under ideal storage conditions”. Now let’s be honest, have yours been stored in “ideal conditions")? We’re guessing the answer is no. Agree? Disagree? So here’s what we’re thinking... Contact Us ASAP and we’ll get you going on getting those tapes transferred to DVD or whatever format you want! Those memories are fading away and we can help you bring them back! Hurry... Would make a great family gift! Don’t you think? Right here of course.
Fluid. That’s a word we use a lot around here.We use it as the adjective not so much the noun. We’re a fluid company. We move with the flow. We’re a “fluid” medium. That’s why we do this. We like to help people. People like you. That’s why we think it’s important that we at Shea Creative believe you should think about a few things. These are the things you’ll say “Aw, I’ll get to that later. There’s plenty of time to get that done.”
If you can think of something you might want or need, take a look at the sight. We kept it simple, so you can peruse it quickly. Bottom line? We like helping people and we have this ability to make things happen. Things that will make your life easier. Geez, we can make you the hero. We’ll just be quietly pulling the strings. All we’d like in return is maybe a handshake or better yet, how about telling everyone you know how cool we are... ‘Cause we ARE cool... Enough for now. We promise to keep this blog updated frequently. Or as often as time will allow... So if you can keep this quiet... We’re trying to talk the boss into doing some of these blogs himself. He’s got a lot stuff going on in that noggin if his and we think it would be only fair that he shared some of it with you... Don’t be scared.... |
