Other notes
We are working diligently to create a beautiful, functional website that will be the marvel of the industry. I've attached some of the things we have done in the past so you get an idea of what we have done well and not so well. We have new drafts and catalogs with new looks and concepts so you can get an idea of where we are going. NOTE: Our INOX logo has a green "X" and that color doesn't necessarily need to be incorporated, but if it is, please do it in a subtle and tasteful way. Also, please see attached Statement of Work (SOW) for more info. We intend to use fonts segoeui, segoeuib, and seguibl.

Final files
You will be required to provide either a PNG or a JPG file. Please check with the client to see if they have a preference.
If you use fonts that require a license, confirm with the client they're ok with it. For licensing reasons, it is better to provide your client with information on how to acquire the font rather than providing the actual files.
