looking for clients in your spare time?



Bring them to you via Brandstack. Post your design, set a price, and lie in wait... and wait... and wait. Or maybe not. I have no idea. But it might be worth a try, considering how many organizations could use a good idea -- and designers who could use a little extra cash right about now...



How often do you get to create the business name and the logo?



How often do you try to sell something you create on a whim?



About Brandstack:

So we built Brandstack and invited designers from all over the world to sell their unused designs at a price that start-ups can afford. An entrepreneur can browse the brands on the site, choose the one that suits them, get it customized by the original designer and download the files. Itʼs quick, value for money and some of the brands even come with their own domain names for a great head start. All brands are original and removed from the site once sold.

The process is still collaborative but the entrepreneur says goodbye to the brief and in return gets a world-class brand at a rate they can afford and the designer gets paid for a brand that was previously sitting idle.

Brandstack. Everybody wins.


Really? That would be refreshing.

Freelancin’ (mistakes)

via popurls
My first steps down this whole graphic design-type road were a string of desktop publishing-type jobs supplemented by freelance work. Later, I worked as a production artist-type at Huge Financial Institution of America (a pseudonym) and freelanced. Now, I devote my work week to the UC and when I’m at home—no freelance.

Why not? 1. I don’t want to. 2. I don’t have to. 3. You can’t make me.

I was never entirely happy performing freelance work. I just didn’t have the temperament for it. My Top 5 Biggest Freelance Mistakes from freelancefolder.com pretty much sums up why 4. I suck as a freelancer.
