Freelancing 101 for Employers The holiday season is busy for everyone. But especially busy for me. It's not because I'll have a house full of family members all Christmas week.

A Designer's Inspiration List
I was discussing with another designer the other day where inspiration comes from. For me, it's really almost anywhere or anything I might come across. I usually put a project on the back burner for a few days while I bounce ideas around. I apply my surroundings to the idea whether I'm at the grocery store or a coffee house with friends. It's sort of like a constant brainstorming session, so what sparks that main idea really varies. There are, however, more conventional ways to find inspiration. I submit to you now a list of ideas to help jump start your creativity.
