Poor doggo
Poor Harry has been carrying his back leg today. We don't know why, it could be a torn cruciate or a muscle sprain but with greyhounds the threat of an aggressive bone cancer is always a possibility. Have no fear, he will be taken to the vet if it doesn't resolve quickly. I have been sitting quietly to save him the effort of following me around and designed a few more graphics.

I really like the first one. The second is cute, and I like it, too. The last, iffy. Out of curiosity, exactly what does a virtual doula do? Who catches the baby? Will you support until she goes to the hospital by way of answering questions?? Will this be telephone or email or what?
ReplyDeleteThe idea of a virtual service is to give support without having to be face to face. With my regular clients I prepare them for appointments, answer questions and debrief difficult conversations so the idea is to offer the same service to a wider range of clients: those who can't afford or don't want birth services or those who are living in areas where there is no doula available.
DeleteI never catch babies, I don't have the training for it. I help things to go smoothly and offer encouragement.
I like these so much better. The first one is just spot on and screams family and doula.
ReplyDeleteThank you! My others were popular with colleagues but I'm not trying to appeal to them!
DeleteI really like the second one, it's a little "younger" in design, and the message is reassuring.
ReplyDeleteJoey,
DeleteI'm sure this idea of people doing their own design is annoying to anyone who makes a living from it so i treasure your input!
Okay, definitely the first one. The last one would look more inviting with a pink flowing background. The rock look is not you or your business, even if you are their rock. You can talk about this again as far as I am concerned. We are interested.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of worthless, insensitive, callous, and all around lowlife reader would it be who might wish that you had written about something other than your ailing dog! If I had such a reader, they could stick it where the sun don't shine, as the saying goes. I think you read All Consuming's blog from time to time (!http://thesmallgodsshallbemyjudge.blogspot.com/2018/02/clowning-around.html) Her dog, Rosie (as in riveter) has been in pain in one of her legs, although I can't find the post, so I guess she took it down--to my chagrin, she often takes things down. Rosie will be joyfully running one moment and on the ground crying the next. Oh how sad it is to see such a one suffer and know that she can't understand why, and that, in many instances, there is so little that can be done to help her.
I enjoyed your creations.
I haven't read All Consuming for a while, I must visit again. I wonder what's up with her dog, that would be quite distressing
DeleteI love your logo - very appealing. I didn't know exactly what a virtual doula was until Practical Parsimony asked and you answered, so that helps me think about your designs better. In that context, I prefer the first design but then again I'm no longer of child-bearing age! Maybe Joey is right that the second would appeal to today's moms. And it is definitely reassuring.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Harry's leg. I hope he is getting around better very soon. It's heartwarming that you sit with him so he won't have to be up so much. What we do for our furry little (or big) friends!
I am rather ridiculously infatuated with this pup!
DeleteI'm not particularly qualified to comment. However in terms of a good advert I would go for one. Having said that my training would question the wording but I understand what you are getting at.
ReplyDeleteThanks Graham. The wording is admittedly unusual but I feel as though the normal rules go out the window in advertising. What is your training?
DeleteI read public administration then business management (and law for good measure). After all that I became a bureaucrat so words and their use, whether it was precisely to draft something or ensuring that one of my political masters or mistresses was sufficiently vague, were the tools of my trade. It has been one of the bugbears of my private life in that I look at every word I see and write in its context so words do not flow relaxedly and easily from my pen. Only when I am talking personally do they flow freely.
Deleteah yes, i worked with a lawyer for a time and was pulled up many times on the discrepancies between what I said and what I meant!
DeleteWe are interested.
