[Design] Webinar Series Tackles Business Concerns of Creative Pros

Posted on Wednesday October 19, 2011Thursday October 20, 2011 by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.Com Business –
Webinar Series Tackles Business Concerns of Creative Pros:

“
You may have seen a book called Graphic Artists Guild’s Handbook of Pricing & Ethical Guidelines. You may even own it–and if not, you probably should. The book answers thorny questions about the business aspects so many creative pros struggle with.

But have you ever thought about the organization behind the book? The Graphic Artists Guild is a national organization that serves “graphics creatives” (print and Web designers, illustrators, production artists, and so on) across the United States.

[ALA] Banishing Your Inner Critic

Posted on Monday October 17, 2011Wednesday October 19, 2011 by Eric Brooks

From A List Apart –Banishing Your Inner Critic:

“
Everybody has one: the inner critic that tells you you’re just faking it, that others have more talent, that you’ll never achieve the success you seek. The inner critic is an unconscious deterrent that stands between the seeds of great ideas and the fruits of achievement, making you hate your designs, giving you ‘writer’s block’ as your deadline looms, keeping you stuck in a project’s initial thinking stage because something isn’t quite right. Denise Jacobs anatomizes and shows how to quash your inner critic, giving you the mental space and energy to let your true talents emerge.
