Website redesign prototype
A really strong visual concept, which took a genuinely creative, intelligent view
of the brief. Communication throughout was clear and prompt. Next time I get a brief that requires
someone who can really engage, intelligently, with the content -- as well as pushing pixels around
photoshop -- I will be inviting Cape Fear Publishers to the project!
I absolutely LOVE the way that you engaged with the brief and did something genuinely
creative with it -- and I mean creative in the sense of an original solution to a challenge, not
self-indulgence!
Yours was by far the best idea of the three. And it was the design that got the head
of the agency that I'm subcontracting this from really excited. I've got plenty of people who can
do safe and professional -- but there's no point delivering 3 safe designs, it's much better to make
1-2 safe and 1-2 more intelligent ... and that's where I'd want to use you.

We were absolutely delighted with the end product. We enjoyed working with Cape Fear
Publishers and highly recommend this designer. She is talented and professional and turned the job
around very quickly!

Our Stressful Society
What types of events in modern society might trigger acute and posttraumatic stress disorders?
What kinds of factors might serve to relieve the stresses of modern society? What do you do to
help relieve your own stress? Do you use healthy methods, or ones (like smoking) that will lead
to more problems in the future?
RE: Our Stressful Society
My mug shot could illustrate “stress” in the Webster’s dictionary. I figure myself to be
the Queen of Stressdom without even trying.
However, I have to share the title. Certainly with many other people such as the mom who
sent her giggling first grader to school and the little girl came back home in a box, her body riddled
with bullet holes. And the tired construction worker who spent the last of his paycheck taking in a
mindless but fun movie only to encounter a surprise guest carrying a loaded rifle -- and using it.
Events such as these would play tremendous havoc with the psyche and wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.
(We don’t have to be a soldier in Afganistan to end up with post traumatic stress disorder. Our country
conveniently offers anyone a chance at this.)
To be fair, these example are on the extreme side, so let’ s dial it down a bit and discuss
a much smaller stress-trigger such as losing your house. That can be a real nuisance. Being unemployed
for seven months can also be annoying when you’ve got three kids to feed.
Our society yields home grown terrorists, an unprecedented divide in the two main political
parties and such a lousy economy Europeans are laughing at us. But we voted the responsible people in;
it’s time to vote ‘em out. We need to stay educated and read valid, unbiased news stories and editorials
and flip off the switch to Fox News for good.
In the meantime, it’s good to find a healthy place to disappear. I lose myself when painting
or drawing; I’m transported to another place and time when reading a good book. I’ve turned off the TV
years ago; I’m more likely to find myself sipping a glass of red with a good book in hand.

RE: Our Stressful Society
Off the subject, but you are a fantastic writer. I started reading this and instantly was sucked
in by the way you presented your topic. I am glad that you pointed out that you do not have to be a soldier
in the war to have PTSD. When people hear about this disorder that is instantly where their mind goes and
that is not always true. Just like you said, murder, death, loss, and so much more can cause people to fall
apart the same way the soldiers do. Some people see just as crazy things in their own homes and go through
many painful things every day. It is important to remember that this can happen to anyone because we have to
be prepared and understand it can even happen to us.

RE: Our Stressful Society
Kathleen, I agree with Brittany, you are a wonderful writer! I was also intrigued by the way you
presented your topic. I agree that everyone needs their one thing that they can go to to unwind from all the
stress around us.

The sheer audacity! I don't don't whether to be outraged or impressed, so I'll be both.
"Endotheliomiascytia"!? F for the blatant lie. A for doing it well. Bonus points for mentioning my friend
Daniel Keyes.
