Presenting the next level of book templates…our new Deliciously Fresh coffee table book template includes SIXTY layered designs to create the most amazing product of it’s type we have ever seen. What is completely new? This product includes backgrounds that act as a virtual “wallpaper” to enhance your plain background or high key images. The templates include a guide that will take you through a quick step-by-step process to merge your subjects with a beautifully designed pattern, as in the image on the top right and the bottom left. You may also use these pages as traditional page backgrounds, your choice! Of course everything is layered, so you may customize colors, text, and design as you wish for unlimited potential!

Steal a few pages for marketing materials, note card designs, canvas designs….and show us what you create! [link]http://www.designaglow.com/the_shop/store_pages/product_details/album_templates/delicious/main.php=Take a peek at this product right here![/link]

Hello lovely readers!

In preparation for the launch of our next issue, Issue No. 5: The Success Issue, we are sponsoring a contest open to all. We would like to know about the one thing you did in your business that has brought you surprising success.

This could be a marketing idea you tried, a pricing structure you have used, or a way of approaching your art that took your studio to the next level. Please send us any story you think would be an inspiration to others.

This contest will feature a total of ten winners: one grand prize winner (for a $250 Design Aglow shop credit) , one second place winner (for a $100 Design Aglow shop credit), and 8 runners-up (for a $75 Design Aglow shop credit).

Patrick from Simply Canvas came by today with these stunning 20×20 gallery wraps using the [link]http://www.designaglow.com/the_shop/store_pages/product_details/templates/artists_studio_elements/main.php=Artists’ Elements[/link] from the Design Aglow shop on some of my recent images. I cannot stop looking at them!! I want to print up all 12 styles now. How great would these be as a wall collection?

When you buy these templates, you will also receive a $50 gift certificate to Simply Canvas!

We just put together a beautiful 30 page 8×12 Finao elements album, filled with all our most popular wall displays from the Inspire Guides 1 & 2. This baby sits on the studio coffee table and is already inspiring lots of clients to think beyond the one-big-print mentality. They LOVE the wall galleries!!

Love these prints…only for photoshop geeks like us! (from http://www.mylittleunderground.net)
