We’ve just discovered a new proofing system for photographers that we think is fabulous! It’s called Proof Press. We love Wordpress and the fact that you can merge your site and blog into one system. Well… now you can do even more with it by adding proofing as well. And there’s only one back-end to update. There are no monthly fees, no set-up fees. Just a 1-time payment. All you need is a self-hosted Wordpress blog. Install it, set it up, upload your images and voila!

ProofPress functionality:

Full front end customization
Photographers can customize their proofing site by editing a multitude of options for example, logo, background, fonts, colors etc without any knowledge of HTML or other programming languages.

Templating
The system will be compatible with custom created templates.

Per-client management
Managing each client has never been easier. Photographers will be able to create a separate page for each client, add galleries for each of the clients, have a sleek invoicing system and more.

Great way to manage collections/packages
They actually interviewed photographers on how they want their collections/packages to be managed and have created the best system to meet their needs.

Financials
The system will give the possibility of basic bookkeeping features, to always know the state of their payment and orders but also know all their expenses and profits.

SPECIAL OFFER
ProofPress will launch in October 2010, sign up now on www.proof-press.com and you will receive a 30% discount when the system is launched. Moreover, follow them on Twitter and Facebook to participate in contests and be able to win a FREE copy.

From the very first day that we realized we wanted to be designers (believe me, that happens LONG before you feel like you can actually call yourself one) we have all read HOW Magazine. HOW is one of the leading publications in our industry, featuring top designers, upcoming trends and a wealth of knowledge while also producing multiple conferences, seminars and workshops. We have scoured every design annual and dreamed about being featured in one as long as we knew the magazine existed. So, needless to say when I received mine this month I was a bit taken a back.

We decided this was the year that we should finally submit to a few competitions.

We weren’t exactly sure when the winners would be published but knew we were supposed to be notified upon winning. The mail (and magazine) came in around noon so when I finished working that evening I sat down to check it out. To say I was surprised is an understatement. WE WERE IN IT … not once BUT TWICE!

So, I hope you will celebrate this huge milestone with us and allow us the opportunity to enter more in the future. In order to do that, we need your samples! If we have created your brand, PLEASE send us at least 10 samples of each printed piece. Being showcased in these competitions is a huge advertisement for YOU too! This is our very favorite part of the process. To be able to see all of the hard work that we (us and you together) have accomplished come to fruition in print is what reminds us that we LOVE what we do and want to share it with the world!

We have such inspirational and innovative clients. Gwendolyn Waite recently shared her spin on our Modern Tropics Dream Cover Collection. She converted it to fit a Dream Box and made this template even more multipurpose for herself. We are so excited to see our clients use our templates in new ways. Thanks for sharing with us Gwen!
