The weekend, for most people, is a time to relax, unwind, and do things that aren’t necessarily convenient to do during the workweek. For us, at Design Instruct, the weekends offer an opportunity to have a little more fun than usual.
When we launched Design Instruct a little over 2 years ago, we had one goal in mind: to publish top quality creative content for artists so that they may do great things with their talent and creativity. Our tutorials were just the beginning.
Over the last month or so, we’ve been working hard putting together an amazing collection of tutorials to be made available for download here on Design Instruct. The most beautiful, most loved, and most informative tutorials we’ve published will now be available in 2 volumes in various eBook formats so you can read and learn anywhere.
We all have experience with competition. We look at our peers’ work and we evaluate if we’re better or if they’re better and then we act accordingly. Competition is good because it forces any self-respecting creative professional to always sharpen their creative edge which is ultimately great for the creative industries in general because we’ll always be producing better and better work.
At its start, the design process unfolds as collaboration between client and designer. When a client needs a logo designed, for example, he/she finds a freelancer or an agency, supplies information about his/her product or company (usually in a design brief) and the designer works with this information. There are certain technical pieces of information a designer should know in a logo design project. The designer then can incorporate the appropriate product specs to the design.
Those of you working in various creative fields would probably agree that client relationships are sometimes just as important as the work you’re able to produce. For freelancers and studio runners, you could even say that client relations become a job unto itself and for good reason: Clients are important.
The creative industry is built on a finite resource: Time. We can talk about the spontaneity of creativity. We can talk about talented individuals. We can celebrate the greatness and the importance of creative work. However, at the end of the day, there’s no denying that creative work is still work with a set of demands and expectations. And most importantly: deadlines and deliverables.
