			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all dreamed of spending our working days reclinining back in a deck chair eating cheese sandwiches on an overcast summers day. But then we remember the mortgage/kids/wifes $500 a day drug habit and our fantasies turn to dust. It doesn&#8217;t have to be this way. Here at www.mindtap.co.uk we show in 5 easy steps how you can quit that lousy Graphic Design job and spend the rest of your life living in easy street.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Step 1: Think yourself in a better place and low and behold it will happen<br />&#13;<br />
This is your first step towards financial freedom. Imagine if you will yourself sat upon a huge pile of money, flinging it in the air with gay abandon and why not? Congratulations you&#8217;ve just made the first step towards making this a reality. Forget the graphic designer career you had mapped out. Let&#8217;s join the idle rich instead.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Step 2: Tell the boss what you think of him and burn those bridges!<br />&#13;<br />
Now its time to get some payback. Remember the time your design studio manager had you stay late and manually key in that 1oo page farming brochure text by hand and then laughed at you in your face? Right, we&#8217;ll show him who&#8217;s boss. A good way to be forcibly removed from the office and earn some extra kudos from your fellow graphic design employees is to take a dump and leave it festering away in a drawer in the bosses desk.Just wait for his reaction when he smells that sick stunt. You&#8217;re history.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Step 3: When you hit rock bottom the only way is up, up and away<br />&#13;<br />
No job = No money right? Wrong you putz. How do you think the tramps and beggars fill there days outside sainsburys? That&#8217;s right &#8211; drinking and robbing. It isn&#8217;t absolutely necessary to pick up a drink and drug habit at this stage but it isn&#8217;t going to harm your chances of success. Now would also be a good opportunity to get rid of the other half if you happen to have one. A spot of domestic violence after hitting the bottle is usually enough encouragement. Hey Presto, one more tiresome burdon off your back!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Step 4: Remember keep your vision and your dreams will come true<br />&#13;<br />
At every stage in this degenerate journey, never lose sight of that image we visuallised in step one of yourself sitting astride a huge pile of banknotes. They can take away your dignity but not your dreams. After several years of eeking out a living as a street bum its time to get this show on the road. Think hard about your previous day to day life, was there someone in your remote family or circle of friends who had a large stash of cash readily disposable? It&#8217;s time to pay them a visit with cap in hand.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Step 5: Invest wisely and you can say hello to a life of wanton abandon<br />&#13;<br />
Now after securing your large sum of cash from your chosen aquaintence, its prudent not to blow it all in one go on 200ft gold statues of yourself or buying an amusement park complete with zoo. No, you don&#8217;t want to be going back to the nine to five graphic design day job do you? There are a thousand ways to invest your cash so that it will sit pretty and continue giving you a steady stream or revenue for a long time. Property for example is &#8216;as safe as houses&#8217; or maybe put it all in a high interest savings account. It&#8217;s taken a long time to reach your goal and hopefully the pain, ill health and loneliness have been worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To have only domestic market as a target market is become a history. In today&#8217;s highly competitive and innovative age any business cannot survive domestically. To survive in this tough competition, to come up with innovations and to serve international or national market is essential. If you are an entrepreneur or owner of the business then you are very well aware about the innovations. As you are doing a business you know very well what to innovate and when to introduce. When target market will come you can go with domestic market very easily but for international or national market it is quite tough to survive and to have a <strong>good website designed</strong> by a <strong>good Australian web designer</strong> will make your way easy.</p>
<p> The first question is how to enter into the international or national market? We will suggest you one of the best ways to get entry into the international and national market. To design and develop a website for your business is the best way to launch your business internationally and nationally. So to <strong>design and develop</strong> a web site which will contain the list and details about the services you provide, product you offer. The website will be the source of information for your clients. To <strong>hire a designer from Sydney or Melbourne</strong> will be beneficial for you. The reason is given below.</p>
<p> To design and develop a website will not be the sufficient to get business or clients internationally and online. Your website must be <strong>properly designed</strong> and informative enough, so your visitors will get detail information about your services and product. Selection of web designer or <strong>web designing company</strong> for your website development will also be one of the major important tasks. If you choose website designer from Sydney or website Design Company from Melbourne, you will be able to develop an attractive and informative website. Now the question is why to <strong>choose Australian web designer</strong>? There are some reasons for that.</p>
<p> Previously there was a trend to higher an Indian or Chinese resource for web designing, but now the scenario has changed. Now you will find so many <strong>companies in Melbourne</strong> and Sydney are providing <strong>web designing</strong> and <strong>web development services</strong>. If you want to explore your business in Australia then it is really beneficial to higher an <strong>Australian web designer</strong> to design your web site. The reason is <strong>Australian designer</strong> will be very well aware about the mentality and the thought process of Australian clients. They have enough understanding about the site flow, colour schemes and images which will be appreciated by your Australian clients.</p>
<p> If the visitor or client will like the colour scheme and theme of the site he or she will love to enter into the other pages. Font size will also affect. If people like the font size and style he or she will be inspired to read the content given inside. If your site will not be able to convince the visitor from the home page only then the visitor might go to the internal pages. So to hire a <strong>web designer from Sydney or Melbourne</strong> will be the wise decision for you.</p>
<p> Today so many <strong>web designing companies</strong> are based and established in <strong>Sydney</strong> and <strong>Melbourne</strong>. So enough competition also exists in between them. So you will be able to find a <strong>good web design service</strong> provider <strong>Australian company</strong> very easily and at very affordable cost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a whiz kid with a pen in your hand? Can you whip up photographic mash-ups that make the Mona Lisa look like illegible scrawl on a bathroom wall? Do you look at album covers and glance at the heavens above, shaking your head knowingly? Then why not put those skills to use and show those rank amateurs how it&#8217;s really done?</p>
<p>&#13;Whether it&#8217;s putting together album covers, posters and logos for the local garage band, doing ensemble flyers for traveling street theatre or producing viral advertising for the world&#8217;s largest shoemaker, there&#8217;s never been a bigger market for freelance graphic designers, or a better time to be one. The software and hardware that once made digital design and subsequent mass-marketing a rare and expensive medium has cheapened to the extent that anybody with an internet connection, an inexpensive personal computer and an inspired idea can have their work broadcast to tens of millions of people around the world.</p>
<p>&#13;Graphic design in its truest form is about conveying a message with a combination of carefully selected colors, symbols, images, shapes and words that, put together, create a unique identity for a product. Those who can do this with rapidity, enthusiasm and a little flair are always in demand. If you&#8217;ve got some ability within the realm of traditional fine arts, all the better, but it&#8217;s not the be all and end all of your career. Like all artistic pursuits, though, you need the right tools for the job. Specifically, you&#8217;re looking for the following:</p>
<p>&#13;1. Software. Whether you work with a can of paint and an easel or a mouse and a monitor, you are going to eventually end up with a digitized version of your finished work for delivery to the client. For those of us with liquid assets, I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. If you can&#8217;t splurge the high cost for these programs, you can find extremely serviceable replacements in the free, open-source GIMP and Inkscape. Together, these should cover your needs for vector artwork, photo retouching/manipulation, post-processing and final file exports.</p>
<p>&#13;2. A good digital (or even film-based!) camera is a useful optional extra. I prefer Canon DSLRs for their aggressively reasonable prices and excellent image quality, but high-end point and shoots can do the job in a pinch. They do, however, lack slightly in credibility while on-site. For those of us nostalgic for the days of 35mm, you can find brilliant film SLRs on eBay for knock-down prices.</p>
<p>&#13;3. If, however, photography isn&#8217;t your cup of tea, then free stock photo services such as MorgueFile or Stock.xchng are excellent resources that do all the work for you.</p>
<p>&#13;4. Finally, a flatbed scanner always comes in handy, whether you&#8217;re digitizing hand-drawn designs, scanning client-provided images or transmitting 35mm negatives. The Epson Perfection and Canoscan 8400F have garnered extensive praise for being well-rounded and affordable. Throw in a color inkjet printer or a membership to the local Kinkos, and you&#8217;re done.</p>
<p>&#13;So now you&#8217;re well-equipped and looking to set the world on fire as a gun-for-hire designer, but don&#8217;t know where to start. Assuming you haven&#8217;t done this kind of work before, your first priority would be to produce a varied portfolio guaranteed to blow the socks off any potential employer. A useful technique, I&#8217;ve found, is to start by going through your collection of books, video games and CDs, and picking out a few of each with covers you either hate or love. Decide why it is they produce such strong reactions in either case, and what you would have done differently. With this in mind, attempt to redraw as many as you can in your own image. As you come up with successful designs, put them aside.</p>
<p>&#13;Similarly, find some eye-catching stock photos and see what comes about when you simply sit and play with them in your chosen image manipulation software. Get to know the functions of the software and the way images respond to different treatments until it&#8217;s second nature.</p>
<p>&#13;When you think you&#8217;ve got a killer portfolio and the mindset to successfully close a deal, it&#8217;s time to find a client. Great first-time employers include local musicians and stage acts, as well as neighborhood businesses with uninspiring logos or lackluster advertising material. (You know what we&#8217;re talking about when I mention brochures or restaurant menus that look like they were put together by a ten year old using Word Art and MS Paint).</p>
<p>&#13;Most potential clients of this caliber don&#8217;t know how presentation affects their business, or feel that hiring a graphic designer to do work for them would be too expensive, so offer them a cheap, friendly, local alternative: yourself! For small projects, offer a flat rate; and for larger ones, keep a log of hours you spend and how many designs you produced so that you can bill accordingly.</p>
<p>&#13;It helps, too, to do some gratis work to get your name out there. Use your judgment and offer to redesign for free when you think it&#8217;s suitable. Networking and subsequently maintaining contacts in the local business community is what can net you, initially, the most lucrative projects, as well as long-term contract work. Graphic designers in the freelance arena have to think of themselves as part-artist, part-salesperson. Pound the pavement, scan the back pages of community newspapers for projects that look interesting, make calls to fashion, art and IT magazines to see if they have any space for an aspiring designer in their ranks.</p>
<p>&#13;On a larger scale, attracting corporate clients requires an online presence, and enough of the above to make an impression. Magazine freelancing in particular can generate contacts and assets in the upper tiers of international marketing and design. Spend some time uploading your creations to a website like Flickr.com or DeviantArt.com, where you can get free exhibition space, as well as having a place to call your own that you can point people to for easily accessible examples of your work. This is just an extension of your portfolio; but like your portfolio, make sure it&#8217;s a showcase of all your abilities. Indicate especially that you can diversify and handle different mediums and project sizes.</p>
<p>&#13;Freelancing as a graphic designer can be initially difficult; more often than not you may find potential clients slamming doors in your face. Take this in stride and persevere. Like most creative positions, as you accumulate paying jobs, more will become available to you. There&#8217;s a lot of demand globally for you to carve out a niche for yourself in freelance graphic design.</p>
