Elle Phillips Design: January 2012
http://ellephillipsdesign.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2012. The state of the economy. from a small business perspective. There are a great number of people today who see our economy as being the worst since the 1920′s, but I honestly believe five to ten years from now that perspective will change, and people will look back and realize that these were the years of the “Small Business”. Small vans are popping up with new business names that are catchy and make me wonder, “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that? Links to this post. Elle Phillips...

Elle Phillips Design: October 2011
http://ellephillipsdesign.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Should you hire an Accountant? When I started my business "officially" in 2005 I was lucky enough to already have a family Accounting Firm in place. Well, not really my family, but my husband's family. They'd been using this firm for 20 years for their own business and were kind enough to have them take care of our tax needs as well. I thought, "GREAT! Everything sounds perfect, right? Let's break it down a bit. Next, and this is the better part, the S Corporation would pay m...

Sunday, January 23, 2011. File Formats and Sizes. I want to thank "Lunessence" for submitting an excellent question regarding what types of file formats should be presented to clients upon completion of a project - her example was for a logo, so that's what I'll address here. I hope to answer that question as thoroughly as possible, but please leave a comment if you feel I have missed anything! A web-ready file (typically .gif or .jpg, 72dpi, RGB with a max width/height of 400 pixels). The files labeled ...

Elle Phillips Design: May 2010
http://ellephillipsdesign.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. Freelancing 101: Getting clients and keeping them! Let’s be honest and very realistic. If you don’t have a website, you can’t expect to stay in business as a freelance graphic designer! Seriously. There is absolutely NO reason in today’s world NOT to have a webs ite. You can get hosting for less than $50/year, a domain will cost you $20 or less per year, and as a graphic designer you should be able to design a kick-ass-looking site. Not a web designer? Once you’ve accomplished...

Elle Phillips Design: Being The Boss
http://ellephillipsdesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/being-boss.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. I finally did it! I learned a lot about myself as well. While I worked as a professional designer for other companies for 8 years before starting my own business, I rarely had the opportunity to manage another designer, and thereby was worried about my own skills as a "boss". Would I be a good boss, or one that was hated and/or feared? Would I be too nice? Look to the Past to Develop Your Future. Be a boss, but don't be bossy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
