The CFX team has some exciting announcements to make in this issue of our newsletter. From new projects we're working on to where our work is being recognized, we are proud to share the news with our valued clients and friends.

In this issue > Saturday, November 16, 2002

1. Industry Snapshot Research Study Distributed to Participants

Enjoying more than 600 participants, Industry Snapshot, the design industry research study co-sponsored by CFX Creative, along with The Core 77 Design Network and LaSalle Communications and launched in May, 2002, was a resounding success.

Based on responses from participants, Kim LaSalle of LaSalle Communications was able to extract much-needed insight into the state of the design industry, including how entrepreneurs and designers expect to find new business, which practice areas are expected to show the most growth and how education level might affect an individual's earning potential.

5. CFX Creative website to undergo redesign

We'll be sad to see it go, but it's time for a change! We are currently hard at work on a new design for the CFX Creative website. Practicing what we preach, we feel that this new design will better display our work in a more comprehensive way and will contribute to improved consistency in our corporate identity.

The look and feel of this newsletter is a sneak peek into the new design and we are anxious to release our new and improved site to the public in the near future. Please look for further announcements on the redesign in future issues of our newsletter.

We hope that you've enjoyed this installment of our newsletter. If you have an upcoming project which requires graphic design or web development services, please feel free to contact us for a no-obligations consultation.
