ON THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE

Clearwater, Florida apparently happens to be the crossroads of the world. A few weeks ago we met with the owner of a number of successful vitamin companies based in Amsterdam and Munich and a soon to be opened publishing company and Magazine called OrthoKennis (roughly translated it means "Straight or correct knowledge"). We discussed the creation of new company logo designs, packaging and designs for the new web sites, as well as the new magazine, for which we will be providing the intial "look and feel".

Research for the extensive project is currently underway and is being headed by the very capable Lance Imburgia of BNI Communications, formerly of California, also now located in Florida. There is still a LOT of work that needs to be done but we've completed the logo designs for 2 of the companies and will be posting the packaging and web designs as they're approved. Stay tuned for more information.

A few years ago Mark Hopking, English sailor and international adventurer, found our web site and began a continuing design relationship with Design Strategies. Our first work for Mark involved the creation of the Ocean Challenge logo which was designed as the trademark for his many ocean-going projects. Mark has captained or crewed on hundreds of voyages from the waters north of England to the Meditaranean Sea and as far south as his recent expedition to Antarctica to test pollution levels.

One of Mark's latest endeavours include the formation of a property rental company with business and holiday properties located in Edinburgh, Scotland and London, England. We're presently in discussion about redesigning two of the company's web sites. As usual, we'll post the new projects when complete.
