So today i sat with my design company, Alamini Design and went through 105 ads to verify all design and layouts were OK before we go to press this Friday. Its very exciting and nerve racking at the same time. For the past 8 years we've been publishing the Great Places venue directory and the 2010-2011 edition is finally coming out next week. A bit delayed but they say...better late than never. It was a rough year but with a lot of perseverance and tenacity and not to mention creativity (wow i really had to work magic in so many cases) we made a strong run and this could be our best edition to date. Not based on size and volume but overall quality, venue selections, and design. We even have a killer Dom Perignon ad with Andy Warhol as the ads face. The cover will be silver with black letters and it will have a very classy and elegant look and feel. I am sure the event and meeting planner industry will love it and appreciate all the work that's gone into it. It will be available on news stands in a few weeks and for anyone in the event industry that's not yet on our mailing list, free copies are available on line at www.greatplacesdirectory.com
