Another happy client!
We recently wrapped up a branding package and services project for Karen Karma McKnight’s business, ALI Yoga Wellness, and here’s what she had to say.
______
“It is always a pleasure working with Martin, and I am pleased with the branding project we worked on for ALI Yoga Wellness. He tackled the creative graphics and website launch graphic with ease and my launch was such a success! And, dare I say that he enjoys a good technological challenge by the way he immersed himself in correcting a broken link between my Google Workspace email and my website domain. Martin’s professionalism, teaching ability and expertise means a lot. I'm excited to see how the branding unfolds for my continued venture. I look forward to working with him in the future and I highly recommend Phunky Pixel Media to anyone in search of Martin’s services.”

Stopped by the camera store today to learn which hoods are made for our lenses.
Here’s a good primer on why photographers use them and why you sometimes shoot without them.
Camera lens hoods in photography might seem a simple thing, but they can be very confusing for the beginner photographer. Do you need one? What lens hood should you buy for your lens? What are lens hoods for? Why use a lens hood? When do you use one? These are just some of the questions we get asked

Email authentication technology is constantly changing, like all of the internet and cloud based tech.
I've even encountered the DARA (DKIM Authorized Responders for Authentication) while troubleshooting and testing this week.
peers be sure to read up on it. It's the next thing coming and everything I've posted today is already integrated.
"dara" is a proposed extension to DKIM that allows the original sender of an email to delegate the authority to sign the forwarded or modified messages to a trusted third party, such as a mailing list manager or a forwarding service.

Where’d You Get Such A F(Ph)unky Sounding Name?
The genesis of the name takes significant influence from 70’s funk and soul album art and music along with some of my favorite childhood literature.
Costumes like Earth Wind and Fire’s Afrofuturistic gear and the spacey extraterrestrial garb worn by the various Parliament/Funkadelic incarnations were visual and mental bubble gum and my brain chewed on them regularly. Not to mention the lyrical mythology of ‘The One’, which was an ongoing theme in the P-Funk universe (look it up).
Some of the crazy made up words in their lyrical concoctions was like a limbic mingling of jazz meeting Dr. Seuss and, voila! Phunky Phraseology abounds on the airwaves and the internet.
Here’s the Pitch
For business owners and ad agencies that don’ t have in-house creative or social media marketing departments, the Phunky Pixels can tell your stories through custom designed animations created in a variety of online and broadcast formats and unique websites AND we can help you grow your business network through custom crafted social media strategies including LinkedIn Social Media Strategies.
