Think, Go, Do.

I just had a thought. "The folks that wait to be discovered, are never discovered." If you wait for everything to be "perfect" before you create you dreams, all you'll do is wait.

So, write that dream down. Hang a deadline to accomplish it. Work backwards from that date and then get to work. If luck favors the prepared, then prepare. Stop whining about the way things are and decide to make some changes. They can even be small changes. In fact, small changes are my favorite because small changes over time become large changes over time.

The point is, never stop dreaming, planning and doing. "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi

The Voice of Type

Whenever we say something to somebody, what we say can be interpreted in two ways by the person we’re talking to: They can hear the words we say that make up the message and, they can hear how we say those words. The way we say something can be just as important as the words we use to say it. The words of the message we audibly project can be completely altered by what it sounds like to the receiver. The same is true of visual language. The type we use to shape the characters of the words we say has a huge effect on the visual message that’s received by the viewer. In the first example it’s confusing. The second example illustrates the voice of the type used by using familiar type to drastically alter it’s perception. Which would you take more seriously? For your message to be it’s most effective, please keep in mind the implied meaning of the type choose you use to create the messages you put out into the world.  So, why does the type we use do that? We live in a visual culture. I...

This is how Donovan Beery made the leap.

This is how Donovan Beery made the leap to full time independent work for his own firm.  If you don't already know Donovan, then it's my privilege to introduce you to him here today. Get to know him here: http://eleven19.com/ http://36point.com/ Before Going Independent: • What did you do for a job? Before starting Eleven19, I was the web designer for Union Pacific Railroad. I did that for over two and a half years before following the head of the Web team over to one of their subsidiaries, where I did both print and web design for. Since I was working in-house jobs, where freelancing was not considered a conflict of interest, I started doing some small freelancing projects at night and on the weekends. • What convinced you to make such a drastic change in your life and career? At the time I didn't see this change as being as drastic as it probably is. I had been at a technology company during the end of the dot com boom, so the place was changing rapidly. The first few mon...
