I saw this free paper, The City Star and gave it a read through…read more Not bad, I thought - and I like their color scheme as it matches my company. *Very seldom used light bulb* I called Benjamin Buggs from the info listed in the paper to see about getting my business an advertising hole. He was very helpful and quick to adjust his conversation with the typical bar, clothing retailer or whatever to understand the needs specific to a 24 hour locksmith service. He gave me a very thorough and very reasonable price list and we hammered out a size and daily run deal. He asked me a few questions and he said that he'd have his graphic arts department look at my web site for design cues and come up with a proposed piece. What they gave me was so near perfect that I only had to make two minor adjustments. For those that don't know - that's incredible. They get it. They very efficiently put all the information that I wanted listed as well as a fairly good print of my bird logo for a great price. All the while, Benjamin was brainstorming and coming up with quality ways to maximize exposure and minimize cost. If you're a business looking to advertise for a good rate - try the Examiner and Daily Star. I could not possibly be happier with the outcome.

I recommend A Media for their flexibility and willingness to give the client what they want. I have…read moreworked with Doniphan over the years on different projects, and always have had an open honest policy of being able to say just how I would like to have my design work done. This is a rare and welcome trait in a design team these days to be responsive and set aside the ego to get underneath the root of the project and tackle it as a coherent team, efficiently and creatively. One project that was memorable was my 10th anniversary of one of my companies. We did a full service re-design including a catalogue, post cards, stationery, logo; the list grew daily...and Doniphan calmly kept all the balls in the air, and running smoothly on time while delivering brilliant graphics, ideas, and a team who listened, as much as they talked. Doniphan is one of those renaissance men.Not only does he design, paint, write, photograph, philosophize and film....he manages a team of people who help him deliver on time.

I needed to develope a new website in 2006 for my business in Montclair Village in Oakland. Most…read morewebsites seemed to be generically the same. (Boring). I wanted something different. Being in the design business (Custom picture framing) I wanted a different look with real punch. I ran across A Media's own website and was blown away by the color on their site. I called A Media and said I wanted a similar look. Doniphan Blair of A Media created it for me. Take a look at www.ArtLoftFraming.com. Over the last few years I have tweaked and changed content and am still doing it. I love my website and it has paid for itself multiple times over. Doniphan has been more than helpful in assisting me on the various changes. I am glad I made the original contact.

MEETING PLANNERS BEWARE! Registration and attendance at "Smart Meeting" events is a SCAM. Women:…read morePrepare to be HERDED LIKE CATTLE by the one man on staff. Appointments with properties are handled like you would expect "speed dating" would take place. Every few minutes move to a different table. At the end of break time their lone male employee walks around with an outdated theatre type instrument to "round you up" again. I had to leave to catch my flight a few hours early and was never reimbursed for my airfare. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

The publication has a lot of real editorial content instead of only advertorials unlike certain other publications. I find their Smart Talk and Industry Watch sections informative and their online exclusive blurbs often tie in well with the rest of the magazine content and cause me to visit their website. If you're in the travel / hospitality or meetings and event industries you should be subscribing to this magazine. And the best part? It's a free publication!

Thank you, California Home and Design Magazine, for from time to time including photos of me in…read moreyour social pages. I really love attention and nothing makes me happier than to stare at pictures of myself and my fabulous friends in fine and respectable periodicals such as you. Paper City's got nothing on you guys. And you can quote me on that one (but hey, Paper City, don't let that discourage you). Narcissism aside, after growing up in the design business, I find CHDM one of the most interesting, diverse, engaging magazines of it's kind. Keep doing what you're doing and keep on supporting local SF business! And keep putting my fabulous face on those pages.
