Desert Publishing has actually been an active business since 2000. We
just recently started rebuilding this site as the publishing site it
was always meant to be.
Our
publishing and print business has operated under other domain names
over the years as we have grown the business into what it is today.
As
graphic artist and publishers, producing many thousands of individual
art pieces over the years, along with working to invent new ways to
produce digital media and package it, the idea of creating greeting
cards with digital media inside was born. We not only produce greeting
cards with CDs in them, we have expanded our greeting cards to also
include USB keys that are thin enough to still be mailed as a greeting
card in a normal envelope.
We
recently published a fantastic coloring book for adults.
Our
original business started out in programming screen savers, ebooks,
how to books, and also producing artistic thermal formed plastic products.
We produced many thousands of decorative stepping stone molds, chocolate
molds, soap molds, and many other products made from plastics. The concept
of producing multimedia and other digital programs on disk and marketing
them was not a major part of our business until recently.
Many
greeting cards have small electronic devices in them that make fun music
and other noises. But as with all greeting cards, they eventually get
discarded shortly after the recipient receives them.
Our
greeting cards are not just generic in nature, they are designed as
original art pieces by artist using several media types and design.
Part
of our business plan for Desert Publishing™ was to create gift
greeting cards that would provide something of real value that would
last for many years and be useful to the recipient. Not to mention that
many people actually frame and display our artistic greeting cards in
their homes. It also became obvious that due to the very nature of greeting
cards, they could provide a way to expand the exposure to our programs
and other media all over the USA and other parts of the world.
Recently
we started producing printed newsletters for the Cedar Hills Center
outside of Snowflake Arizona in full color. This was an immediate hit
with the community. There is more about the Cedar Hills Newsletter linked
to in our main menu on the left.
