AD BUILDS

Prices listed are for print ready ads only. If you require design assistance, rates are $20/hour through Scarlett Toad Designs. Customers will recieve a separate bill directly from owner Melody Paris.

We are so happy to be working with Melody! Not only does she bring to us great service at a reasonable price, but she also is our press room contact at the Idaho Press Tribune where Spirit is printed. She is more than familiar with the needs of advertisers, and is an expert on how it needs to be designed in order to look the best it can on paper!

Here's a messasge from Melody about her experience and offerings:

I have been in graphic design for many years. I started in high school (about 12 years ago) working for a local printing company and applying my skills to school projects as well. I have been working for the Idaho Press-Tribune for the past four years as a graphic artist and paginator. I am proficient in Adobe programs: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and Pagemaker; Macromedia programs: Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks; Quark Express; as well as Microsoft products like Publisher, Word and Excel . Besides working for the Idaho Press-Tribune, I am a student at BSU studying Writing and History, a mother, and I own and operate Scarlet Toad Designs where I am able to apply all my graphic design skills and training. I design: logos, business cards, business forms, websites, publications, advertising, flyers, and posters. What can I do for you?

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
