The banner ad on Shelf Awareness for The Winter Rose was incredibly popular; the total click-thrus rank the ad in the top 10 vs. all 2007 ads, and 2nd vs. 2007 skyscraper ads. The first day produced a top 10 click rate for a skyscraper, despite being placed in the 4th spot!
The ad above is for the movie edition of Cecelia Ahern’s book, PS, I Love You, published by Hyperion Books.
The ad at right appearing in USA Today was done for Ridley Pearson’s mystery The Body of David Hayes.

We provide creative approaches to present your statistical data.
In collaboration with the Communications Department at Seamen's Church Institute we have produced their annual reports from 2008 to present.
In this example (at right) we combined the talents of two people, one used Illustrator and one used Lightwave. We then brought both pieces into InDesign to create a unique approach to a plain pie chart that appeared in the 2005 UNICEF Annual Report.
BlissDesign, in close collaboration with CM Communications, has produced annual reports for ELANY, the Excess Line Association of New York for over ten years.
We are proud to have designed the annual report for the College of Staten Island, 1999 and 2000.
At left, folded, is a brochure for Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold done for Hyperion Books. It features a gate fold with a die cut around the deck of cards. Below is the flat sheet.
Die cuts, foils, embossing, 6-color printing, can all make a product look absolutely terrific. Yet, the skilled designer can make 2-colors look fantastic as well. 
The Ostinato brochure is a 2-color project, using PMS 130 orange and black. It consists of one stock image, converted to a duotone in Photoshop, cropped showing different details, and a playful use of color in the type.
The 2-color Cosmetic Buyers Forum 3-panel, letter-fold brochure was co-produced with CM Communications for the Chain Drug Marketing Association.
BlissDesign works with many non-profit organizations, trade associations and corporations, producing journals, invitations, programs, and specialty items for promotions or fund raising purposes. Here are just a few examples.
A Bright Future, Tracking Study for the Craft Yarn Council is done about every 2 year, it consists of a projected presentation and a printed handout that highlights research done for yarn retailers.
