Bay Area Parent Best of the Best

JJ Barber of Scarlet Dolphin Media designed AVAC Swim School's Best of the Best ad for Bay Area Parent magazine.

Honor Student Bumper Stickers

Scarlet Dolphin Media can take care of all of your design needs. Our latest project was Honor Student bumper stickers for Don Callejon School in Santa Clara, CA. JJ Barber came up with the I *Heart* My Honor Student design for the school. She felt that so many honor student bumper stickers bragged about the child and the school. She wanted to make one that told how the proud parents really feel about their child. The school agreed and chose this design. It features the school colors and logo.

New Scarlet Dolphin Media Website

Scarlet Dolphin Media has just rolled out an awesome new website. It’s easy to find examples of our work from logos to marketing materials and holiday cards to invitations.

San Bruno Mothers Club Logo

JJ Barber at Scarlet Dolphin recently designed a new logo for the San Bruno Mothers Club. After coming up with a multitude of new design possibilities, the membership voted for this logo.

Helen O’Brien was the SBMC contact for the project. She said, “JJ has done a wonderful job at redesigning the San Bruno Mothers Club logo. She was provided with parameters of how the logo should look and was able to turn out many good designs in a short amount of time. All work was delivered on time as promised. JJ was able to work with many different personalities on this project. She provided us with good, solid feedback. She delivered great work at a reasonable cost. I would hire her again for future projects.”

AVAC Fall Registration Postcards

Four times a year Scarlet Dolphin Media creates the registration materials for AVAC Swim School in San Jose, CA. The Fall registration materials include a postcard that is mailed out to the returning swim school families. The Fall postcard conveys a lot of information and it is difficult to display it in a manner that isn't confusing. I think the matrix with the questions that JJ Barber came up with this year really works.

Wine and Spirits Logo

Scarlet Dolphin Designs was hired to design a logo for BevConnect.com. BevConnect is the Business and Social Network for Beer, Wine, and Spirits Professionals. The logo needed to reflect the both wine professionals as well as the beer and spirits professionals. Since the network is international, the logo is based on a globe. This entire message needed to be conveyed in a logo that could be clear at a very small scale. It was a tall order, but JJ Barber managed to pull it off on time and under budget.

Please contact JJ Barber at Scarlet Dolphin if you need a logo design for your business.

Future Drummer Shirts Rock!

Another Scarlet Dolphin Designs hot seller is our color Future Drummer artwork. This design works if you have a little drummer in the making or if you are a determined adult. Everyone knows that it's the drummer that gets all the chicks!

"Dolphin Trainer" is a hot seller!

My Dolphin Trainer design has become a hot seller this summer. It is available on t-shirts, caps, bags, buttons and a whole lot more.

If you like that, you will also enjoy my Whale Trainer products.

AVAC Swim School 2008 T-Shirts

Scarlet Dolphin Media has had a great partnership with AVAC Swim School for several years. I, JJ Barber, have been creating their annual t-shirt design for the last 7 years. This year the shirt featured the cute sea creatures I created for AVAC swimming around their Little Boy logo. Each swimmer gets one of the shirts at the beginning their first session that calendar year. The kids love the shirts. I see people wearing them wherever I go—Costco, Target, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, etc.

AVAC Swim School Advertising

For several years now I have been doing graphic design for AVAC Swim School. I do their annual t-shirts, quarterly schedule of classes, registration information, and advertising. The main place AVAC Swim School advertises is in Bay Area Parent Magazine. I do a full page, full color ad for them every month. This is the one that appeared in May's Bay Area Parent. I went with an Olympic theme because of the upcoming summer olympics. With most of my clients, I don't come up with the advertising taglines or wording. AVAC gives me a little more leeway. I came up with, "We’re ready for fun and summer games… begin your quest for the gold at AVAC.”

Spring Fling Frisbees

I had a great idea to have frisbees as the giveaway instead of t-shirts at the Don Callejon School Spring Fling. (Get it... fling... frisbee?!) I worked with Marshall at Century Graphics in Sunnyvale to create these frisbees for Don Callejon School's Spring Fling event. I got the logos of the sponsors from various sources and put them together in the circle design. I handed that over to Marshall who got it printed on these great orange (the school's color) frisbees.

Don Callejon School Staff Shirts and Hats

Don Callejon School needed a design to be embroidered on polo shirts and baseball caps. It needed to utilize the existing “tri-paw” logo but in a more sophisticated design for the staff rather than the students. The staff was very pleased with what I came up with. They all enjoy wearing their staff shirts and hats.

Sutter Elementary 5th Grade Grads

I designed t-shirts for the Sutter Elementary School students who were graduating from 5th grade to Middle School. Keeping with Sutter's frog theme, these shirts featured 3 frogs playing instruments and standing on "Schoolhouse Rock" type letters. The kids loved them!

Muscle Bee-1972 Monte Carlo-Car Art

I recently created a "muscle bee" cartoon for a friend of mine. He had it painted on his 1972 Monte Carlo which he restored. I was thrilled to see it turned out so nice! It's exciting to think that my muscle bee is flying the highways and biways of Southern California!

Sutter Elementary Frog Jump 2008

When Sutter Elementary needed a t-shirt design for their annual frog jump, they came to Scarlet Dolphin Designs. I came up with this cute design for the t-shirts. I specialize in animal cartoons so I, JJ Barber, was a great choice for the job. They liked the design so much that it appeared on advertising as well.

Gemini Crickets Logo

Recently I designed the logo for the Silicon Valley Parents of Multiples Club. The club's name is Gemini Crickets. The logo was fun to design. The club wanted friendly, cartoon crickets wearing kids' clothes.

The Twins Club said, "We are very grateful to talented club member, JJ Barber of Scarlet Dolphin Designs (http://www.scarletdolphin.com/) for creating our fabulous new logo. It’s not easy to render a cricket cute, so kudos to JJ Barber for accomplishing this task.

Read more about it on the Gemini Crickets website.

Time to order your holiday cards!!

Hello Everyone,

Believe it or not, it’s that time of year again… the retail stores have declared that the holidays are upon us. Before you buy those discount Christmas cards that are already in the aisles of Costco and Target, check out my website for UNIQUE and CUSTOM photo card ideas. Your greeting will stand out above the rest with my photo cards.

My cards are the BEST:

Can’t get your whole family to look good at the same time?
Allow me to custom design a card for you with multiple photos.

Tired of the same old holiday letter?
Send a timeline of your year with pictures.

Want to actually write on your photo card?
I offer folding paper cards (just like Hallmark!) with the photo on the front.

I offer postcards with your message already printed on the back.

All of my cards are separately custom designed just for you based on your wants and input. I offer different options for cards: 4x6 and 5x7 folded cards, 5x7 postcards, and traditional 4x8 photo cards. Pricing varies depending on what style you choose and how many you order.
