  1. Business Model You (Is now out!)

    Great resource, thanks for posting. Hadn't seen this yet though I am familiar with Business Model Generation and their canvas concept.
  2. kinda OT freelance designer request

    What do you consider reasonable? If it's less than $60/hour you should hire someone to work in-house because you won't find many quality designers charging less than that (who will be in business long before going broke).
  3. printer should have come with a warning label

    lc/lm and y take much more ink to achieve saturation than c,m,k. We keep the ink levels open and have betting matches to see which will hit zero, like we're at the track or something. Y usually wins from an even start but Lc is a close second. Of course, it completely depends on what you print...
  4. PayPal debit card question/rant

    Use credit unions, problem solved. Avoid Paypal as much as you can, I certainly wouldn't use a card connected to them in any way. If you must use them, get your money out of their hands and into your CU business account asap, every time.
  5. sequential numbering in illy or versa?

    This is the right answer, would have taken all of 10 seconds using InDesign.
  6. $4500 CNC....even cuts concrete

    Just noticed these guys are in Wisconsin, going to have to pay them a visit and check it out in person. I can think of a million ways to use this thing though non that are profitable for a business other than architectural/environmental, which isn't something we get into here. I kind of want to...
  7. wall wrap

    Good result, I didn't catch that you were covering a one way window looking over the customer area, that's pretty trick.
  8. Looking for a SEO expert

    Are you looking for an on-page technical SEO (audit and implement) or full on inbound marketing (link building, keyword research, content creation, social campaigns, etc.)?
  9. W-9s furnishe to customers...why?

    Takes about 3 seconds to find an EIN, odds are really good that you've filed something with it that's public record and therefor searchable.
  10. $4500 CNC....even cuts concrete

    We don't do concrete but this is awesome, if I was building a new building or house I'd want to use this all over the place. I do have a client and friend who does dyed concrete floors for really high end clients, makes a ton of bank on it and gets lots of publicity. Adding an etched element...
  11. W-9s furnishe to customers...why?

    Takes me 2 clicks to send out a W-9 and makes the customer requesting it happy. Why get all ornery about something so simple.
  12. HP Designjet L25500 "Warning" question

    Nice avatar Brian :thumb:
  13. Website Effectiveness

    I've been a website designer since the 90s, I built our company site (on WordPress) and it does pretty good traffic. I also moonlight as an SEO/SEM though so I was able to rank us pretty quickly for our targeted keywords and long tail phrases. Paid for itself and my time in the first day, our...
  14. I'm furious

    :rock-n-roll: Dollar General is an overstock warehouse for suckers to buy absolute crap at. Why would you buy food there, of course it's expired. That's why it got sold off to Dollar General.
  15. Stop Writing Project Proposals

    Interesting article and take, worth the quick read. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/02/17/stop-writing-project-proposals/
  16. Google Play

    CNBC's contract just released a ton of stuff to Netflix. It's not the greatest platform for BLOCKBUSTERS but it's amazing for good episodic tv and for Indie movies, and that's all we watch. Going on six years now with no cable or sat. :thumb:
  17. New L25500 firmware

    In the tech world there's no such thing as final firmware, just the last version they made before they moved those dev hours onto newer hardware.
  18. Advanced skill value...

    I gave this advice in the other thread, but: specialize. At least on your resume. Target jobs with specific needs and tailor your resume to those needs. Don't give the whole laundry list. I'd also recommend becoming really active on LinkedIn. Join and participate in as many groups as possible...
  19. Personal Value

    Sign wages are typically abysmal, most graphic designers end up leaving the industry because of it or starting their own shops (...or finding one that will give you equity...). It's not really an industry you can make a great living at doing what you're doing now. I'd recommend specializing...
  20. Great post on the process behind Garcon Grotesque

    Sort of except the names that really drove the movement are now mostly partners in marketing firms doing huge revenue numbers. Lots of excuses on the low end but those who drove the movement knew what they were doing. I suppose Duchamp, Braque, et al are dust beneath your wheels too. All are...
