		<description><![CDATA[Watch any news program and you’ll hear statistics about America having fallen behind most other industrialized countries in matters of heath, education, and technology. But I can think of one area in which we excel—creative services. Ask anyone who has worked with an outsourcing company from China or India to have creative produced—it simply does not work. Much like outsourcing call centers to save money, companies try to outsource creative.   We’ll save a ton of time and money...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pitch to enough clients of a certain size and eventually you’re going to be asked to sign a standardized contract or NDA. Usually it comes from a large client with a team of lawyers who burry you in page after page of terms which are so one-sided it’s becomes laughable. And like the author of the post linked to below points out, it becomes an internal game of pros and cons—how bad do I need...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new year and new prices are in full effect. With tax season gearing up and the economy slowly on the mend—or still in the toilet depending your point of view—it’s a good time to take one last look back at 2010 and see how well you fared and use what you learned to plan how you want to end 2011. It might also be a good time to brush up on your standards of...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a couple months since the Apple/HTML 5 vs Adobe/Flash wars began and I am continually amazed how much attention this topic receives. While the technology driving the media we consume is an important discussion, it’s not the conversation which needs to be taking place. What’s being glossed over is this; why, in 2010, are we still discussing code instead of content? Look back to the roots of the modern print process and think...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the best thing to come out of the web design/development movement is the recent trend towards research-driven design. While nothing new to the big dogs on Madison Ave, it generally is overlooked in the print world—especially on such a granular level and rapid level. This is certainly a trick more print designers need keep up their sleeves. At its core, A/B testing is exactly what it sounds like: you have two versions of...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another good read on the current devaluation of creative services—this time from the perspective of a Copywriter. If you’re Web or Graphic Designer who has had the privilege of working with a good copywriter than you know they are more than a glorified spell check, and how much easier they can make your job. I’ve about had my fill of the cheap copy debate. In truth, there isn’t one. If you’ve got a complaint about...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to stop and consider what the long-term cost is by saving a few dollars by skimping on the services of a quality designer. I wonder how many sales were lost from this? I bet it cost more than had they payed the designer. Client: “That’s way too much money to charge for an email campaign. It’s not hard to put a few graphics in an email.” Me: “I charge based off of...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is the bad client a fact of business or a crutch when things go awry? If you have direct contact with clients at some point your going to get yourself into a working relationship, which doesn’t. It’s one of those unavoidable things in life—like death and taxes. Few subjects for freelancers generate more discussions than how to work with less-than-ideal clients. It’s simply a fact of doing business not every relationship is going to gel....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do Designers and Developers have a seemingly adversarial relationship? If you’re a Designer you can design the most beautiful, useable, revolutionary web site but without a Developer to assemble the nuts and bolts no one will ever get to see it. As a Developer you can have the cleanest, strictest code connecting the most amazing services and doing the most amazing things. But without a Designer presenting it with an equally great UI no...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it’s a function of the internet leveling the playing field, but in recent years the number of boutique agencies and start ups has seemingly boomed. Small agencies now have access to the tools to produce, distribute, and advertise their services in a competitive manner to the more traditional and established agencies. As we are closing the first decade of the new millennium, change has arrived and the design world is no longer dominated by...]]></description>
