Good Times.

I’ve thrown away all of my journals.

For as long as I can remember, they’d been a part of my life, my closest and most trusted friend. They served me well through the years, on days when I felt on edge, or felt like crying, or laughing, or like simply sharing the mundane… It’s always been a part of my life. But, I haven’t written a journal entry in a year and a half.

There’s an almost regressive feeling associated with that sort of writing these days. The purpose of it was so much associated with needing an outlet; that, I was too shy to talk to anyone else, and so I just wrote down my thoughts.

I read an entry from 3 years ago. It talked about how my weight kept falling and how I couldn’t seem to get out of bed anymore. The helplessness of those lines made me realize that I no longer in that place as a person.

There is no great nostalgia to be found in those volumes. There was only angst and uncertainty and I just don’t feel that way anymore. There are plenty of friends to talk to now, plenty of people to communicate with and now I simply write for the joy of writing. I maintain a blog…. But, mostly so I can deliver documents and thoughts on various subject matters, but almost never my feelings.

Life is Good. I’m just enjoying it. Less writing, More living.

Later Days

It’s time for a 2012 refresh…. So, I decided to order new business cards.

So, for those keeping count… I’ve decided to throw away those 1000 cards I just purchased last month.

It’s like that sometimes….

I’ve finally completed the media strategy for CAMA 2012; Simply waiting for the go-ahead to send our first campaign materials to press. Until then, I’m redeveloping all of our marketing materials for 2012, including our media guides.

Day Seven: Take one thing off your “to do” list that you’ve been avoiding.

It’s time to make a move in my life.

I’ve been in this holding pattern for far too long and I’m ready to make something happen.

So, today I’ve crossed a few things off my list

• Decided on my new company name, Pratt Communications.
• Secured a main domain, prattpr.com // Empty right now. Gonna work on it this evening.
• Secured a second domain, prattpr.info // pointing to a tumblr account so I can do some mobile blogging.
• Set up an email account for my new company through Gmail.
• Set up a twitter account to communicate with the public.
• Designed a placeholder Logo.. Working on something more substantial as I write.
• Decided on a color scheme and some other branding elements that I’m gonna work on tonight and this weekend.

And, we’re off!!

I’ve decided that now is the time to make things happen. I’m genuinely excited and ready to meet this new challenge in my life. Having previously toyed with the idea of Pratt PR, I want to finally do things the right way.. We’ll see what happens!

Next up: Time to make some connections and sign some clients!

Later Days!

Love is in the Air!!

I just got the wedding invitation materials I designed for my Sister. I’m happy with the way they turned out. Digital Lizard did the printing; and a wonderful job they did. If you need same-day printing, give them a try… and, tell them Aldanzo Pratt sent you. =)

Anyway, it was a simple project with 6 different pieces:

1. Official Wedding notice w/ Reception note
2. Official Wedding notice w/o Reception note
3. Response Card
4. Wedding directions card
5. Gift Registry Card
6. Envelope Sticker

It was a pretty simple color scheme of Chocolate and Sage (interesting combination..):
