Why Blog? Why Write? Why Speak?

Why Blog? Why Write? Why Speak?

Well…for the longest time I thought this was just a way of being extremely anti-social. Don’t get me wrong, I am not putting down bloggers. I just saw it as a way of our society becoming less and less personal.

I was listening to a young musician on the radio the other day. His band, before they became big used to play and minister to students at a college in Arizona.
Well…he went on to talk about how God designed us to have an intimate relationship with Him and how he designed us to directly interact with one another.

He went on to explain how now with ipods, iphones and all the digital gadgets we have today how that makes it just so much more challenging. That really hit me. Students today are faced with so much more than when I was growing up. All of us are faced with so much more in this world that I ever thought we could face. The world is not what it used to be and for many people that is a hopeless place to be, but with God there is nothing out of His knowledge. He already knows us and our needs. He designed us, he is the Creator of all things.

I can probably sit here and tell you how blogging has helped my website gain pace, but really what I am more amazed with is how the internet can reach faceless people you have never met and how God can use that to reach a lost and hopeless world.

Know this, your not just a haphazard incident, just another body floating out there in a vast and deserted space. Yes a God that created us, the moon the stars the universe is definitely a BIG concept to wrap our heads around. But how amazing is it that through all that he designed , his most precious creation is us.

Where’s the beautiful photography?

Wheres the beautiful photography? http://www.seohiroshi.com/. It can make the difference from a good to a great design. Color, color, color awakening the senses. Do you want to be a wandering traveler through the mind of a visitor or do you want to be a burnt memory, image tracing back to the very concept of who you are.

All of your elements in your design, the concept, the negative and positive space speaks volumes to your client. Its like taking a few moments under a tree nestled in a park in the middle of a bustling town echoing its time to go. Or a subway train whistling the steam through grates in the street as you listen to your ipod sing sing a beat carrying the steps of each passerby. Keeping the beat of the doors opening and closing.

Create work that keeps your viewer interested in what they haven’t see yet.
Anticipating the next page or the next link intrigued…flowing from one design or element to another.

Thats all for now.

CSS layouts using the 960 Grid

I stumbled apon a site called 960 grid system when I was looking for a systematic way to layout my CSS. The grid is based off of the grid concept in print layout. When a magazine, newspaper or other editorial piece is layed out it is designed on a grid. This grid can consist of 3 columns with photos, 1 small column and one large column or even freeform grids that use the shape of a graphic as a way to layout text.

The grid dominates print and gives it that harmony that the eye likes so much. This is a way to provide a consistent layout in your web pages. The CSS file that drives the layout consists of classes that define set parameters for the size of your columns and spacing. You invoke these columns with the respective class name placed in the div tags.

Take a look at their site and download the files, they also include templates for Photoshop and Illustrator for those who like to layout web sites graphically, slice them and apply CSS layouts.

Our site Gigapxmedia.com is layed out using this method.

Colaboration Section Launched

We have just installed our Collaboration Section of Gigapxmedia. Clients can login to this part of our website in order to track changes, propose and approve revisions, add text and photos and download the final project files. The utility is based on the ever so useful Base Camp developed by 37 Signals.

This also makes our designers/developers lives easy when handling multiple projects at once. So many things can slip through the cracks with out this app.

Usage for the client is simple. Log in with the provided username and password and the dashboard view will appear on your screen with several tabs to choose from.

Overview, shows the track record of the project including milestones. Milestones are major events in the design/development phase of your project and are very useful because they also allow us to assign required steps to members of the project for completion. “if we need the client to provide us with textual content before we can move any further, Project will allow us to assign this task to the client. It shows up in an email to them, notifying the client to create the text content in a text document. Then the client can upload this into the project to be used by us.” states Kris Rosario, one of the lead designers at Gigapxmedia.

Other functions supported is a messaging system tied into images and other content that eliminates email tag between the designer and client. A task list to show the client what is needed in order to reach the next phase. And the files tab handles uploading and downloading of any files pertaining to the project.

Over all a useful app.

How much will this cost me?

Clients out there will always ask this question simply because web design or print design can be an abstract idea to a person who is not a designer or has never dealt with purchasing these services. The summarized answer to this question if you are a buyer or client is, according to market value. Almost every professional out there has a market value for the services they render. A good place to get an idea of what the going rate for design services would be, is Salary.com. Enter the general description of the services that you are looking to purchase, such as “print design” or “web design”. Keep in mind there is a big difference between design and programming or development. They each carry their respective market values. Enter the zip code for the area that the designer resides in. For a description like “print design” you may get a result like “graphic design specialist” which is what a print designer is. Just keep in mind that a web designer is different than a web programmer. The average salary found is the highest portion if the bell curve listed in the results.

For freelancing you can find out a good ballpark value by visiting this site sitepoint.com. If you have an idea of where to start, then you will not be surprised by a quote given to you by the person providing your service. Some designers may package your design in order to make you a deal depending on the circumstances. They may throw in installation for free or a certain number of free updates.

Its good to know what the going rate is for the service you are looking to buy. From there you can tell if you are being offered an unreasonable price or a great deal. With all things pertaining to you the customer, it’s important that you are confident that your needs are met. This is why I encourage clients to research this so there is a good understanding of what is to be expected.

Why Should I Bid?

Freelance Bidding Sites have been sprouting up like crazy recently. Are you a freelancer that is having a hard time finding work in this market? Freelance Bidding Sites are market place websites that are geared toward matching up freelancers with clients. Think of Ebay, but instead of products and store fronts you have clients and project descriptions up for bid. As a freelancer, you have a profile which includes a portfolio that gives you some extra leverage in convincing the client that your style is what they are looking for. You are in competition against other freelancers for the job. The lowest bid may not mean the winner of the job as many clients are interested in a good balance of high skill and low price. Not every joe that has the lowest bid can offer the skill set desired. Save time as a freelancer or a client by visiting gigapxmedia and take advantage of out resources.

Undercut Designers in Todays Market

With the obvious economic downturn more designers are asking themselves, “How the heck do I keep from being undercut from clients seeking my services?” This issue is enraging for any designer or developer because this issue sits in the shoulders of the person accepting the outrageously low dollar amount to do the job. Clients eventually catch on that they can call back three designers that will undercut that one. At the current state of the situation, clients and employers now EXPECT this to the the normal market rate when it is in fact listed much higher. Have you ever heard comments about giving the services away for next to nothing because “you make that look easy”. Just because it looks easy doesn’t mean it’s a hustle or scam.

Well so how do we avoid this? Sites like Salary.com list current market value for your skill set. It is fair to ask for what you’re worth. The only true drawback to this situation is the market itself. When our economy drops, employers tend to offer less regardless of available funds or not. I can take this with a grain of salt, after all we have a free market economy, which means this is open to swing in both directions.
