What Can Five Dollars Buy You?
We recently ran across an advertisement for FIVERR.com, a site that allows you to pay someone $5 to do just about anything from web design to house cleaning. We thought it would be fun to take one of our current clients and see what $5 could get them for a new logo. While we do all of our designs in house and would never actually use someone elseʻs designs as our own, it was fun to be on the other side of the table!
2014 Year in Review
Itʻs been a wild and crazy year here at A.S. Designs & Services. We have been fortunate to work with great clients around Hawaii and the country this year! Our client base has been from all areas in the world of marketing and design from our new brewery clients to the ventriloquist out of Texas!

Raise Your Hand if You Like Beer and Branding
Sometimes a project comes in to the office that we canʻt refuse and recently that was the case!
Mehana Brewing Company and Hawaii Nui Brewing company, owned by DeMare Enterprises, came in to ask if we could help with their new can designs and new website. We jumped at the opportunity and have been working hard since to come up with what we think is some of our best and most fun work.
Social Media in the Classroom
In today’s world, it’s not essential that a student must physically attend a university to get their degree. Thanks to technology and online courses, any student can get an online computer science degree by staying and attending lectures with the right study material all from home.
