Rockin' Writing with Tim Nelson Design



Tim Nelson of Tim Nelson Design

If you're looking for a rockstar designer...look no further than Tim Nelson Design. Not only is HE a rockstar of the hip variety, but his designs are years ahead of the trends which means if you choose him to transform your sorry, old logos and websites, you'll get sites and branding that are evergreen in your market (let alone fresh and tasty).

This was a particularly tasty project for me since I had the great and fun pleasure of working alongside Tim as he blasted his own site so people like you can experience his prowess first-hand.

He sent me some history on all of his clients--what he'd been commissioned to do, who he worked with, maybe a tidbit or two of fun info. Then I wrote the descriptive copy. He wanted the copy to be to-the-point, quirky but not what I like to call sour creative (you know that kind of creativity that's kind of almost too clever it makes you roll your eyes and pucker). Anyway, I shifted and shaped and massaged and wrote the descriptions so he could launch his new site.

It was great! He had good, tight deadlines (I always love a yummy deadline) and he was honest and hilarious which makes every project fun for me. In the end, this copy was probably my favorite to write (if I do say so myself):

A super talented marketing executive found me and asked if I would create a brand ID logo. Her name is Karen V. Carbone, I think she's Italian because she made me a design offer I couldn't refuse. I'm joking. She wanted something light and airy. So this is what I came up with and she loved it (and so did her extended Italian family, thank goodness). Here's Tim's final design for Karen.


We've worked on a variety of projects together for different clients, but this one was especially fun. Tim's portfolio is fantastic. (I'm secretly jealous of it!)
