Announcing: Dynamic Form Creation–Coming this Summer!
Does your business use lots of forms? In-take forms? Questionnaires? Inventory? Have you wanted to make any of those forms digital and be able to have them available online for people to fill out and send the data back to you?
We at BJPDS have been working on learning new software to offer you something fantastic!
Utilizing Adobe LiveCycle, we hope to launch Dynamic Form Creation and Design this summer.
What would that mean for you?
It would mean that you could have your forms online, with dynamic content for your clients to fill out and send the data back to you. Saving on time and resources to get the information you need!
What is dynamic content?
Dynamic content in a form allows for scripting and more to happen inside the form.
Let’s say that you have a section of your form that you only want to show up if clients click on a certain item. With dynamic content, that section would remain hidden (and the forms total height “shortened” online, until they clicked that checkbox or option. Then the form would “expand” and the new section would appear for them to fill out.
Clients could also email just the data of the form to you, instead of emailing back the entire form.
While we are still in the learning and workflow development stages for this new service, we would love to have some “real world” examples to use.…and we would even design them for FREE.
That is right, from now until August 2012, each of our clients could have us develop or convert any form for them for free (maximum of 6 forms for each client).

Brand Guidelines
When a company has a strong brand, they need to ensure that the brand is used to its fullest potential and that all their employees (yes, I said all) understand the brand and “live the brand”. What is the point of having a strong brand, if only a few understand it and now how to “live it” when they are dealing with the public?
Brand Guidelines help companies educate their employees on their brands. Brand guidelines are an integral part for any company. No matter how large or how small a company is, brand guidelines should be created and implemented. Continue reading “Brand Guidelines” »
Tips for an Effective Web Site
As a graphic designer, I am constantly looking and evaluating anything design related that I come in contact with. From menus at the restaurant, other business’ business cards, web sites to even billboards as I drive, I can’t help but look at something and appreciate what is working, and critique what is not.
One that really gets me the most is web sites.

Designing an Effective Brochure
Designing an effective brochure is not as easy as it may sound. Much thought must go into the brochure, such as; content, budget, setup, page layout and organization. Without the proper planning, all the effort you put into your brochure can be wasted and you will not receive the results that you expect. Good design, is not just a pretty brochure, but a brochure that has well thought out content, design and layout. Continue reading “Designing an Effective Brochure” »
Print Design versus Web Design
From early small-run tomes that were hand typeset, to mass-produced books of today, printing has been around for centuries. Since the early 1980s, web design has exploded and has hacked out a niche in the design industry. Both markets are equally important in reaching audiences and sharing the information that both bring to their respective readers; but creating a single design for both markets is as different as night and day.
