(1888PressRelease) January 11, 2008 - Buzzsaw Studios recently won a Gold Graphis award for its stationery design work for client, Bend Valet LLC. Details like perforated business cards laid out like a valet claim check intentionally mimic the valet parking experience. Presented in a clean layout, these small details capture the elegance spiked with a little humor of Bend Valet, creating a strong first impression each and every time Bend Valet hands out a card or mails a letter.

"When most people are handed a business card or receive a letter, it quickly lands in the trash. We design our clients’ business communication tools – letterhead, envelopes and business cards - as a conversation piece. If you give out a card and it's intriguing, the person receiving the card will ask questions. If you can start a conversation, you'll have a stronger connection with your new contact. Communication by letter is also a lost art. Making a first impression with a well crafted letter presented well goes a long way in this digital age," said Tim Parsons, Creative Strategist of Buzzsaw Studios.

"I can’t count the number of times people have commented on my business cards when I hand them one,” said Chuck Burke, owner of Bend Valet. “People love the small details like the words hoopty and lowrider in the list of cars and they appreciate how the card looks like a valet parking ticket.”

What has always separated good from great design is whether it recreates the product experience. Graphis recognized Buzzsaw Studios' success in visually communicating Bend Valet's ethos with one of the highest honors it gives - a Gold Graphis.
