The star with the pineapple R will be used for their avatar needs and other branding areas that require a compact logo. The rest of the logo says it all.

I have decided to post all of the mockup designs and revisions so that you can see the process we went through until we came to a final design.

He was very professional at all times during the entire process. He was able to communicate very well to me what he was planning for my business without baffling me with technical language. His attitude and work ethics went above and beyond to deliver the final product. For future successes for my online business, I will turn to Mat. I recommend him to anyone in need of web design and internet marketing, I know he would make a huge impact on the success of your business.

Here is how it works:

1. You pick a design from one of the template designs I provide you.
2. I customize the design for you and plug in all of your media. (Logos, content, etc)
3. You buy a domain name via godaddy. (ex: http://yourdomain.com)
4. I then host your website and provide you full technical support for only $99 a month!

That’s it! It is that simple to get yourself or your business on the web to extend your reach to the online mass!

Why get a website through my service? Well let me list a few reasons why my services are ten times better than hiring a web design company to build your website and host it for you.

1. I provide technical support for everything that is related to your website for free. Most web companies will charge you for simply putting an extra link on your website… or a photo, etc.
2. My websites allows you to manage all of your content yourself! Other web companies will deliver a static website that you will never be able to change, unless you do it through their services costing you more money!
3. You get a free professional website and only pay for the hosting… Can you say “EPIC DEAL?”. Hiring a web company will cost you up to $2,000 for a design that is not even modern or dynamic. On top of that they do not provide you with continuous free technical support and their hosting rates are just about the same if not more…

So let me offer you this. I want you to contact me with this information:

• What you want in a website.
• What your business is or what you are going to offer on your website.
• Other websites that you may want your website to look like. (The look and the feel)

And from there I will show you some really great designs that caters to your needs and you will not have to pay for a dime unless you are ready to get your website up and running.

So CLICK HERE to contact me and get started!

When I took this project on, the school was in the clutches of C a web design/hosting company that not only didn’t deliver modern designs, but also made my client pay for any little change they needed to make to the website. I am not talking about just a few dollars either…. they had to spend BIG CASH MONIES! My client’s old website did not even have a CMS… It is a shame those blood sucking web companies are still in business.

But anyways, the key thing here was giving my client the ability to manage their own content on their website, plus a cool looking website. I also incorporated a nice little “call to action” widget on the sidebar to generate leads. I also think that if you are a business, you should always include your phone number in big letters somewhere visible on your website, like so:

I literally shot, scored and edited the promo within 5 days. The fastest turn around ever! And the video came out pretty good too, or so I think so. It may have been sooner but I had to redo some edits because the TaeKwonDo instructor did not like the way he looked on camera… which usually happens to everyone who is not used to seeing themselves on camera. In the end he was definitely excited about the video and shows it to everyone on his YouTube channel.

I am actually going to go into production for him again to create a new and more kickass video promo for him… one that is going to be done mostly in After Effects!

They wanted the ability to update their website… that was their only request. Not a lot to work with right?

Well here is where I went from there. Immediately I noticed a couple of things that needed to change. Their business was not branded very well nor was there any “call to action” on their website… and yes they needed a web 2.0 design.

Next I asked them more information about their business and what they do to make their money. One thing was verifying benefits for women who are interested in what they are covered for by their insurance companies. Now… usually the process of this verification went something like this:

• The company will email or fax the customer the form for them to fill out.
• The customer then prints the form and fills it out.
• Now the customer has to fax or mail the form back to the company.
• Then… the client needed to send a check or money order to the company.
• From there the company would verify the benefits and let the customer by phone.

Now, that process took DAYS! I knew I needed to make that whole process electronic to simplify it all. So I pitch creating online forms for the benefits with a simple online checkout via PayPal. The company responds with an ABSOLUTELY!

From there I incorporated all of the “call to action” features on the website to get the company leads.

My next pitch was for the company to consider getting their company branded! Via social networks and a logo redesign. Their original logo, by the way, came from a vista print design. I helped them set up all of their social networks with all of the right links and descriptions pointing back to their website.

Although I can do logo designs, I am not really that interested in actually doing logo designs. So what I did for this company was managed a logo design campaign via 99designs.com. A really great place to get really great value in logo design. Now, anyone can handle the campaign, BUT….. you have to know what to look for in a logo/brand in order to get the best results. You also have to be able to communicate to your designers well otherwise you will never get the results you desire. My client could not do this, so this is where I came in. I managed the campaign that lasted 14 days with over 75 designs submitted in the end. My client was really satisfied with all the designs, but had their eyes set on one design. Campaign was now OVER! With this one design that won the campaign:

From there it was basically plug in the logo to the website and make the new website live!

Oh yea did I mention I designed their business cards, letterheads and envelopes?

Then Stephen Colbert would follow me making his grand total people followed = 1.

Follow me @matsilva and start using @matsilva arbitrarily to start this trending topic revolution!

Here is a short video to show some of the stuff it has:

Not a whole lot of footage, but man it was definitely a sweet day for skating.

Snapshot of the day:

I am gonna try to get more footage and more action next time I go.

First I had to start of the iMac expedition with the Cheeky Fat Bastard wine. It really calms the hands and focuses the mind. It also gives you a really good buzz, which is good for the moral >:)

So after the removal of all screws small and a couple of void warranty devices, I reached the heart of the iMac. So basically I just looked really closely at all of the parts to see if anything was a miss or perhaps too much dust had gathered… but I couldn’t find anything. SO I drank some more wine and kept searching until I noticed a tiny little burn mark on my iMac showed in the next image.

YES! A clue as to why my iMac has been failing on me. unfortunately I do not know what it means…. so I took pictures of it to post online on multiple forum sites so that some one smarter than I can help me figure it out.

Here is one more establishing picture of the damage.

Just to recap on why I love to work freelance… this picture can give some insight. Yes ,that is my hammock I am lying in and yes it is 2AM in the morning and I have just had a very lovely glass of wine. Working freelance gives me the flexibility to do the things I love to do, such as kiteboard(when the wind permits it), skateboard with the little brothers on Friday afternoons, study/develop my film making craft and mucho mucho mas!

When I look back on how I started to merge into the freelance world, I Remember those who helped me develop myself into this field and I am grateful for all of their help and teachings they have/continue to give me.

FREELANCE TIPS!

Those who have been mentored like to pass their teachings on to others…. so here is a few freelance tips that I would like to share with you all.

#1 Time management

In order to master multiple projects is to master your time management. Dedicate specific hourly blocks to each individual project each day. DO NOT work on anything else other than that specific project during that block. Set daily goals for your projects and aim to complete them in the most efficient way.

Learn to say no to more work! Having work is always good but if you become overwhelmed than both you and your clients will not be satisfied with your quality of work.

Do not waste your precious time! Stop looking at your IMs and your bookface messages. Try to limit yourself to your socializing urges once every 1-2two hours.

#2 Increase productivity

Set up your workspace so that it fits your needs. I personally work better when both my home and office space are clean, spotless! Have your playlist with your most motivating music playing. Have refreshing and stimulating snacks. I am a big fan of Jasmine Tea and bananas… it definitely keeps me going.

Make sure you have solid to do lists…. Know what tasks need to be done and prioritize them so that you get the most important done with off the bat.

#3 RESEARCH!

There are so many resources online for your to learn and develop your freelance craft. Simple research can lead you to all of the roads of a greater knowledge and understanding of your profession. For instance, if you were a web developer, you could head over to http://tutsplus.com/ to find a variety of web and photoshop tutorials to bring you skills to the next level.

In conclusion there are many resources, tools and teachings to the freelancer. When ever you need to figure something out… just Google your question… that is the basic start.

“SPECIAL BULLETIN

NATIONAL HEALTH SCARE

By Rick Joyner

When I read the brief on what was contained in the National Health Care bill that is now being presented before Congress, I could not believe I was reading something that was actually being considered in the United States of America. This is not about money or government mismanagement—this is about something far more diabolical than that. As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed—it would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. THIS BILL IS THAT SINISTER. This is not a joke—this is actually the nature of what is being proposed in the National Health Care legislation, and it is the obvious reason why the Obama Administration wants to ram it through Congress before anyone gets a chance to read it.

I have resolved to always be as generous as I can toward people with opposing views of my own. I do this because I believe it is the mandate of I Corinthians 13 to always believe the best about people, rather than the worst. I know this opens me up to be misled by some, but I consider that a small price to pay to not become cynical. I also do it because I think it is wise to always try and understand the position of my opponents—to be open to consider their positions and not be too rigid or inflexible to change because we all “see in part,” and “know in part.” Because of this, I have been chided for being too generous by giving those I do challenge grace by believing that they had not thought through the consequences of their proposals, or had other good intentioned reasons for doing what they were doing. However, after reading the brief on this health care bill, I don’t see how anyone could not see that there is profound evil and evil intent at work here. I just do not see any way to be any more generous with those who proposed this bill than that. It is that bad.

This bill is obviously designed to put the authority to determine who lives and dies in America into the hands of government bureaucrats. As outrageous as that seems, it is true—you can read it yourself. It even gives the government access to all of your accounts, and the authority to make withdrawals. I know this is hard to believe, but you can read it yourself.

Do you want a government bureaucrat to determine if your mother or father can receive treatment, even in life and death cases? Would you want a government bureaucrat to determine if your child, or you, could receive treatment, even when it means life or death? Think of the best experience that you ever had working with a government bureaucrat, and then think about them having the power to make a potentially life or death choice for your child, your parents, or for you. This is actually what is being proposed.

Add to that chilling thought the fact that this bureaucrat does not have to know one thing about medicine to be in that position. In fact, this bill proposes letting the government define what quality health care is and impose that definition on health care workers. Nowhere does it even specify what training, expertise, or qualifications this all-powerful government bureaucrat has to have to be placed in the position to make such ultimate decisions for the health, well-being, and even the lives of Americans.

Am I being too hard on bureaucrats, or the Obama Administration’s intentions? Certainly there are many bureaucrats who are sincere and true public servants. I agree that such are deserving of our appreciation and respect. The modern world could not exist without them. Think of the most noble and conscientious there are. What kind of position would we be putting them in to have to go to work every day and decide who is going to get treatment, who is going to have to go on a waiting list and for how long, and who are they going to have to just let die?

Who could live with such a job? There are many who could, who would just see it as paperwork, and those are the ones who would be in that position because the truly noble ones could not endure it. Hitler found many who could dispatch thousands each day, and then go home and enjoy their own families at night. There are people with that kind of moral disconnect. These jobs will be filled and by the very ones we would never want in such positions.

It is beyond anything I thought I would ever see in my lifetime that such a bill could ever be seriously considered in the U.S. Congress. This bill has the potential for totalitarian control to be imposed on America to a degree that Hitler and Stalin could not have even imagined. With the technology available now, totalitarian control can very quickly be imposed to a degree far beyond what was attained by either the Nazis or the Communists, and this bill has provisions in it for just that. It mandates the sharing of all of your personal information, from just about every conceivable source, with the new health care bureaucracy being set up to implement this national health care system. The penalties for trying to escape this web are serious. This would actually make America into a national concentration camp, and we can be sure that ultimately it will be a national death camp. You do not have to take my word for it—read it for yourself. Below I will include a brief on this bill so that you can look it up, chapter and verse.

I am a pastor and a watchman, and I therefore have a mandate to watch out for the people, and to sound the alarm when I see a threat. I have never seen one like this before. Even so, I have prayed for restraint and calm as I address this, and do not want to exaggerate anything. In spite of this terrible evil that is manifesting itself through the Obama Administration, I am resolved to pray for our government leaders, and I try to pray for the President every day. My sincere hope is for a spiritual awakening for him and for those in every government position, and for the Lord to give them wisdom and help for the most difficult task they have. However, with all due respect (and I mean this), what is coming out of the Obama Administration is evil, more evil than anything I thought I would ever see in America. It is time to call it what it is.

In the early 1990s, myself and a few other prophetic friends were all shown separately, but at the same general time, that the same evil that gained access to Germany in the 1930s was going to seek access to America. I have shared this often since then, and have made many trips to Germany to seek to understand what happened there. Col. Eugene Bird became one of my dearest friends, and I spent many days with him listening to what he had learned about this, which was considerable. Col. Bird was the U.S. Commandant of the Spandau Prison that held the Nazi war criminals, and ultimately became the one many considered to be the foremost authority on Nazi Germany. Bird’s insight into how evil can gain entry into the human soul and into governments was remarkable, but I always had trouble seeing a connection that would allow what happened there to actually happen in America. Bird often chastised me for this, warning that it could easily happen in America (Col. Bird lived most of his life in Germany, where he became loved and esteemed by that nation, but he remained a patriotic American to the end). Bird often explained how the evil spirit of death that took over Germany gained entry through its health care system. Now it is easy to see what he was talking about in what is being proposed by the Obama Administration.

In Germany, the National Socialists (Nazis) gradually desensitized the nation to death beginning with abortion. Then they quietly, seemingly with the most noble intentions, rounded up the retarded and insane, claiming that the state could take much better care of them, but no one ever saw or heard from them again. Then they did the same with the elderly. As word slipped out that they were being euthanized, it was explained that war made it necessary to eliminate all of the “useless eaters” so that the troops could be fed, as well as those who worked for the war machine. By that time, the grip of control was too strong for anyone to protest or they would also be sent to the camps. Life became cheaper and cheaper, people became more and more depraved, and millions were slaughtered in the death camps.

America is following a parallel course. If Hitler had a tool such as the health care bill that is being proposed by Congress, along with the technology of control now available, it would have made his task much easier and more effective, and probably resulted in many millions more having been easily murdered.

I have had Presidents, candidates, senators, and congressmen and congresswomen from both parties tell me they have read and appreciated my writings. I have maintained for many years that an eagle needs both a left wing and a right wing to fly, and believe that there are excellent men and women of true conviction in both parties. I realize that by writing with this tenor, I risk being considered an extremist, and maybe risk many relationships, but I cannot be concerned about that. With such an extreme evil threatening our country, I would have a difficult time standing before the Lord on that great judgment day if I did not speak up as boldly, as clearly, and as loudly as I can. Call me an alarmist and I will agree with you—I am going to do my best to sound the alarm against evil in every way that I can, and I don’t think I have ever seen anything with the potential for evil like this national health care bill.

I pray that senators and congressmen from both parties who have courage and conviction will stand up against this terrible impending holocaust and stop this bill. I expect that it will be hard for many who read and understand what this Democratic Administration has proposed not to refer to the Democratic Party as the Death Party from now on, but let’s wait and see how the Democrats in Congress respond to this before condemning them, too. This bill is criminal—it opens the door for a crime against humanity on a level that could easily surpass what happened in the last century. We must hold accountable all who have written, proposed, and sided with this bill—and determine that with all the resources we are given, they will never be elected again for anything.

I pray that every Christian will wake up and rise up to take their stand against what is happening in our country now. If we do, we can stop this. If we don’t, we will have to stand before the Judge having let this happen on our watch. We can expect persecution and even death for standing against such a bold and obvious attack of the spirit of death, but no Christian should fear death, and no Christian will want to live in the world that is now taking shape if we do not become the salt and light we are called to be.

We are in need of the courage and resolve of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings, who stood before the huge and terrible Balrog demon and declared—“YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” The demon was stopped, and even though it was able to grab and drag Gandalf down with it, Gandalf returned with a new level of authority. It does not matter what the consequences are for standing for truth, as Christians we must stand because it is our basic duty. As the first apostles demonstrated, to be persecuted and to suffer shame for our God and His truth is one of the greatest honors. However, we must do it for more than honor—we must also do it for our children and their children.

Last night on Fox News, a former Clinton Administration council to the President stated courageously that this bill was not just about money, it was about euthanasia. The money part does not make any sense at all, but now that the real evil that is driving this can be clearly seen, we can understand that the Administration really does not care about saving money or providing health care for everyone; rather it is about control. There is already talk about this being about saving money by being able to euthanize the baby boomers so they will not have to be paid social security, or weigh down the health care system with their needs. I’m not ready to go that far, but that is obviously why the Florida congressman declared that this bill was a death sentence for the elderly. That is true.

The only commandment with a promise that it will go well with us, and that we may live long, is the commandment to honor our fathers and mothers. This commandment is found in both the Old and New Testaments (see Ephesians 6:2-3). Killing them when they can no longer be productive, as Hitler and Stalin resolved to do, is the most dishonorable thing we could ever do, and we can be sure will bring the opposite to the blessing promised. As you read the bill, and see how excessively long they stay on the point of being able to determine what and if any care is given to the elderly, you will see it really is chilling. It is obvious this is a primary purpose of those who wrote this bill. I know this sounds far-fetched, and I would not have believed it myself a few days ago, but just read it for yourself.

The following is a brief outline of this bill put together by Mat Staver of the Freedom Foundation and Liberty Counsel (contact info is at the end). The comments by the brief are Mat’s, except where I have noted my own by putting them in italics. The bold is also mine.

After reading, please do not wait to contact your representatives to protest this. If you don’t get through, keep calling, send emails, but do not stop until you know your voice has been heard.

Now do you understand why we have to stand up today against this bill and declare with all of the courageous souls who are sounding the alarm and let us say to the bill—

“YOU SHALL NOT PASS.””

My response to this post was the following:

“I think you guys missed the mark when u read this… probably because of the propagandistic story before the bill snippets and the comments next to the bill snippets.

We currently DO NOT have health care…
-Of course the government is going to choose what health care you qualify for.
-Of course they are going to ration it…. Read More
**Picture some wealthy joker walking in and saying I want the whole package…. yeah….I don’t think so**

This does not mean you won’t be able to walk into a hospital and get treated the same way we do every single day… without healthcare and using your own money…l

Who ever wrote this was not looking at the right angles… the angle this bill was intended for. For instance:

“PG 994 School Based Health Clinic will be integrated into the school environment. Say GOVT Brainwash!”

This comment, i think, is the most silly of them all. I like how they use the scary BRAINWASH word to put unrealistic fear into ur heart…. As if your kids are not brainwashed by huge fast food chains and other giant corporations… at least this so called “Brainwashing” will point towards a healthier and safer life style….

Try see past the ridiculous story telling and look at the facts.
Facts:
-WE DO NOT HAVE HEALTH CARE AND PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF IT.
-ANY HEALTH CARE IS BETTER THAN NO HEALTH CARE!

This  post is just another ridiculous propagandistic attack claiming socialism….they might as well throw in all the other communist related terms into this post and blend it into a big ignorant anti-communist smoothie…. I am not saying I am pro communism… for instance, there is one part of the bill i disagree with:

“Pg 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill – Doctors, it does not matter what specialty you have, you’ll all be paid the same.”

This i do not agree with because it disallows doctors to capitalize.. which is what our country is all about…. I am pro capitalization….

The only good thing about this is it won’t cost you your life savings$$$ TIMES 5 to get life saving surgery done.

I guess you could say i am a capitalist that doesnt like to see the the rest of the world suffer…. but i guess you all disagree with that, huh?”

At first I was just going to delete the message and move on…. but I felt I really needed to wag my finger at some people. Also keep in mind I am not for the healthcare bill at the moment.. there are still some things in there I would like to see revised before I see it pass.
