Early Morning Request...

Good morning Abe,
Do you think you could somehow create an image with Trey Songz and my niece together?  My sister just wanted to do something special for her for Christmas and being that she's a huge fan of Trey wanted to know if I could get someone to do it.  If you think you can come up with something will you let me know and let me know what you would charge?  THANKS!!!!





 


This is not a hard request. 

But... To make a really clean composition, I request photos be at least 1 megapixel. A lot of the stuff taken with phones are not suitable. Many times we compress our pics to a small size for email This is not the time to be frugal with disk space. I need the original image in order to manipulate to the best of my ability.

1st problem with the pics was the Trey Songz pic. It was 250x250. I was aiming for a 800x800 composition. O.K. I found a larger format of the same pic on the web. It still wasn't what I wanted, but oh. Well.. 

The pictures of Whitney are good pics, but the quality of the images are not the best. This takes a bit of tweaking of both her image and Trey's to make them look anywhere near the ideal of the picture being taken together. This flung a 10 minute job into well over an hour. No biggie... I needed to practice.

Customers: Unless you TRUST your artist, give explicit directions/instructions on what to include in the image. I took tons of liberties because I had no specifications. I hope Whitney finds them to be acceptable.

Another Satisfied Customer

I was contacted by a lady who had rented some tables from me in the past to do some graphic work for one of her clients/friends. I agreed to the job and she furnished some artwork for me to utilize. I was able to complete the job in the same day, and got proof approval from her. Once I found out the printer she would employ, I formatted the graphics for easy printing. She paypal'ed me my fee last night and I emailed her the graphics this morning when I received the notification.

Some people are a pleasure to work with.

Executive 3 Decisions


E3D – Who are we?


 

Executive 3 Decisions, LLC (E3D) is a private consulting group rooted in the rich tradition of the Southern Social Scene and Entertainment Events both private and public. E3D specializes in themed venue based entertainment. The company was founded in April 2010 by Abraham G. Brownfield and Marquise D. Henderson.


 

History


 

The duo was destined to be a force within the local social scene of Jackson, MS.

Mr. Brownfield (Graduate of Murrah High School and Jackson State University) was a successful organizer/planner/ financier of events ranging from barbecues, house parties to crawfish and shrimp boils. In addition, he also functioned as a bouncer, throughout the south region. Mr. Brownfield also performed as a DJ for private affairs: Most notably he performed at the Omega Psi Phi friendship BBQ, Homecoming Takeover Party hosted by Tomar Smith , The Reservoir Incident (created by Brownfield, Marshall, and Harrington), and many other venues throughout the last 15 years. Mr. Brownfield also gained a measure of popularity due to his culinary skill and bartending. Some of his signature recipes are still in use by former party goers. Many can attest to the famous "Reservoir Punch" created specifically for the "Reservoir Incident" series of parties. Mr. Brownfield has also acted as guest bartender at events in Fayette MS, Hattiesburg, MS, Atlanta GA, Houston TX, Memphis TN, New Orleans LA, Miami FL, Orlando FL, Washington D.C. and points in between. In 2005 Mr. Brownfield was contracted by Marquise D. Henderson to bartend a birthday celebration at his private home. The partnership between the gracious host, Henderson, and hypeman/bartender Brownfield led to many events held through the metro area.

Marquise D. Henderson, a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces has always valued quality entertainment. In the past 10 years he has carved a niche in the Old School Dance Party and Celebration arena.

Mr. Brownfield took time off from the party scene to pursue a career in education. The allure of the social scene soon found him organizing progressively larger and larger gatherings, which culminated in an affair on May 28th, 2009 deemed to be the largest private party ever @ Last Call Sports Grill. (School's Out Jam)

The demand for his services as an organizer and promoter grew exponentially after that event. The potential of the partnership became evident.

Now four months later and many pleased clients later, E3D has embarked on its greatest quest to date. "The Grand Hustle Takeover" concert featuring T.I., B.o.B., Young Dro and Yung LA. This was no small undertaking and E3D found a friend in a local outfit called X.S. of Jackson. The two groups combined its resources and hit the ground running to make the event the premier outing of the year. The work is now ahead of the team to ensure the show goes on without fail and that the city of Jackson and the metro area has the time of their lives.

In between projects...

Be on the lookout for this radio series by Deborah Grison... Swagg Poetic.. E3D was called in to design a logo for her program. I did the majority of the work, but it was a collaborative effort.
