I’m redesigning my portfolio – as you surely know – and I’m finding a problem quite difficult to solve: choosing the images for my portfolio… it’s not an easy task if you have so many portfolio pieces to choose from. The problem: as many as possible When I started designing I used to work for [...]

Some days ago I received an interview by email, somebody asked me about the way I write my briefs when designing by order. At first time it looked like Spam so I didn’t care too much, but on a second read I thought it would be a good blog post. So let’s talk about the [...]

Some time ago I announced about the redesign of SOSFactory, my corporative web. It was designed 6 years ago, when I still had no idea about web design. The current design (SOSFactory V1) has been profitable but it has restricted me in many aspects. It´s an involuntary but systematic attempt to break every principle of [...]

A few days ago, I published a post about crowdsourcing webs. Clients come to these webs with a project, and designers compete for a prize. I received many comments for and against these webs.

It can cost us up to 3.4% out of the money we receive depending on the country where you live, plus a 2.5% to convert the money to your local currency, [...]

From time to time I receive interesting emails from newbie designers or illustrators, who are trying to open up this complex industry for themselves, but they don’t know where to start; they ask for my help and of course, I do my best to help them. It occurred to me that maybe, if I publish [...]

If you´re a designer, probably you have lots of unused graphics, webs, loops and Flash files, and you don´t get any profit from them. You could sell the rights of use of these designs (stock design) for a very low price but lifetime. You won´t become a richman but some extra income is always welcome, [...]

Some days ago we commented the advantages and disadvantages of self-taught training versus official training, and we reached the conclusion that it would depend on our working aspirations, our personality and our resources.
