Design Introduction

Hello Stephanie and Father Greg,

My name is Danae Chudy and I am the web designer at Diocesan that will be working with you on your new web project. I am reaching out to let you know that we are nearly ready to begin the design process.

Since Christmas is quickly approaching, I know that many of us will be busy. I will do my best to connect with you next week or sometime in January.

Have a great day and I will talk to you soon!

Hi Stephanie and Father Greg,

Happy New Year! I hope the first week of the new year has been pleasant for everyone.

Hi Danae,

Happy New Year to you as well! Now that we are getting past the holidays it's certainly a good time to setup that meeting.

This week I could meet sometime on Wednesday afternoon. If not Wednesday, Tuesday the 18th is wide open right now so I could meet on Tuesday either in the morning or afternoon. Do either of those days/times work for you?

Thanks and God Bless,
Fr.Gregory

Wednesday at 1pm CST works for me.

Is there anything we need to have prepared or "bring" to our virtual meeting?

God Bless,

Hi Father Greg,

If you could please brainstorm ideas for the logo and color scheme. That will help me tremendously if you have an idea of what you wanted to use.

Hi Danae,

Thanks for the meeting today. Not sure if that google drive share email worked for you so here is a photo of the St. James image we spoke about.

Hi Stephanie and Father Gregory,

Good news! I have finished the first draft of the logo. I'd love to get some feedback on the logo and let me know if there are changes you'd like to see. Also, there are 8 different font options. If you could tell me what one(s) you like or if you'd like to see more options, I'd be happy to do that for you!
Lastly, I know you mentioned you'd like red/maroon as the primary color for the website. But I wondered if we'd like to stick with the colors already shown in the banner? It is best to keep the logo and website colors the same to make a coherent brand.

Thanks,
Danae Chudy

P.S. 7 & 8 are basically the same font. I forgot to delete 8.

Thanks!

Hi Danae,

Overall, I'm liking what you've shown us so far.

In terms of the font, I think 2,4, and 7 are the ones that appeal most to me.

Regarding color, I'm not sold on that light blue/purple color scheme. Would it be possible to put St. James in maroon/red clothes? I know it wouldn't match the physical banner but I'd like to see what that maroon/red combination would look like because those colors will match the color theme already present in the church and building. I'm worried that the blue/purple color would match only that single banner and not match the rest of our church.

Thanks,
Fr.Gregory

Hi Stephanie and Father Gregory,

What do you think of this rendition? I left the background still blue because of the sky but let me know if you'd like that changed as well.

I personally like that color combination better. The Blue sky isn't bad but I would like to see some other colors/shades just to see if there is something better. What other colors/shades for the sky would you suggest?

God Bless,
Fr.Gregory
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
Hi Father Gregory,

Yes, I think it works well with the combination. Here are some more options for the sky:

Let me know if you prefer any of these to the first one!

Hi Father Gregory,

I thought I'd check-in to see if you have chosen a logo to go with? I'd love to apply those colors to the website and see what you think!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Danae,

Thanks for the reminder.

Number 2 is my favorite option. Let's try that one.

Hi Father Gregory and Stephanie,

I have attached the logos and the website link to this email. If you could review the design elements of these items and let me know if you are ready for the approval email, I'd appreciate it! Let me know if you see anything you'd like to change.

We will be changing the header fonts to match your logo but I just wanted to make sure everything else looked good to you!
