As stated in my charter, some of the things I know come from places of which I know. And I know this, the boys and girls at Envato Network sites NEVER fail to bring it all to the table.

Please take a visit if for no other reason than to learn something.

fyi: should anyone ever need a fairly quick, and pretty decent file conversion, head on over to Zamzar
I’m doing a WordPerfect file conversion through them now. Can you imagine that? A WORDPRESS file?
You select your file, you choose the format to convert to, you enter your email addy, and click Convert
A bit of time will pass and then they’ll email you a link.
And yes, it’s free, although paid-plans are available.

If your day has you toiling in Quark, then you and everyone is by now is aware of Jabberwocky.

But if you’re simply doing a web mockup, and/or have no Quark or desire to crank it up, then simply go to this nifty find at Malevol – Text Generator

Very simple, very sweet, very appreciated.

If you’ve not checked Samual’s blog out at Wake Up Later, which speaks to the free-lancer/Moonlighter in all of us, I encourage you to do so now.

And whilst your their, subscribe! You never know what specials Samual has in-store that someday may surprise you. If not for the free stuff, go there for his great insight.

Here’s the link.

Humbly, I did.

The folks there, as well as at freelanceswitch.com/ have got a lot on the ball.

A tale of two brothers. Making waves. Making what appears to be one of the more promising graphics apps to come along in quite awhile.

Promising? Could be because of what they’ll offer in toolsets and speed. Might be because of how much it “won’t” cost.

A sterlingly brilliant interface is about all you can see at their site, but the multiple laundry lists of features is enough to make anyone drool given it’s proposed price, and cause to you sign up with their “Notify Me” link.

Graphic Designers, either freelance, moonlight, or employed, are a finicky bunch. We all like to dream, and at times can be lost in the zone of either “the deadline” or the “inpiration”. And then at times be cast adrift in that place…
…that has us scratching our heads wondering why the phone is not ringing.

A few of the tips were great reminders of some of the more simpler ways to maximize time at hand. Reference to mumbling to your dentist was classic.

I’m reminded of something a salesman once told me about making contacts. His trick was to get as many “no thanks” as he could.

He knew that rejection is simply part of the game, and that no matter how small the rate of conversion, the more rejections you get, the closer you are to the next “Yes”.

So, take a read there. Even if you just skim, you’ll undoubtedly find something of value, even if it’s a simple insight.
