		<description><![CDATA[Being a freelancer is great—the freedom, the money, the private office. The flip side can be a harsh dose of reality; the paperwork, the accounting, the janitorial duties. In a corporate or studio environment you have staff doing many of these things so you can focus on the task at hand—being a kick-ass designer. But this al goes bye-bye when you strike out on your own. To help everyone out, FreelanceFolder has put together a...]]></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[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[Via AdPulp, an article which touches on the points mentioned in my earlier article Bum Clients:Tales Of A Creative Prostitute. The terminated are becoming the terminators. They’re mad as hell and they’re not going to take this anymore. So they’re going postal with posts, broadcasting the dysfunctional, irresponsible and allegedly criminal transgressions of former bosses. Why, there’s more dirty laundry than a Tide with Bleach convention. The gloves are off and after years of being...]]></description>
