Kind of a personal working/life mantra this year.
Recommendations for a low-cost printer for business cards?
Posted 31.08.2010 @ 3.21PM
Definitely recommend MOO (http://www.moo.co.uk) as the appropriately named 'hairycow' suggested. Their mini-cards make an excellent point of difference in comparison to regular business cards. Easy upload, amazingly fast turnaround considering they're UK based.
Threadless Submissions (and related projects)

We're a creative bunch here. I was wondering how many forum members have submitted designs to Threadless or similar sites in the past. Anyone had their work printed through any of these peer-scored submission systems?
There is an ulterior motive behind this post, of course. I posted my first submission to Threadless this week and am trying to promote the hell out of it in a vain attempt at garnering a few more 4 or 5 scores. Terribly rude of me, I know. Also, I'm a member of a few other design/illustration related communities with forums and have found a 'submissions' thread is a great way to make one another aware of our work and create yet another support network with the existing network.
Without further ado, my submission link is below. Again, I'd be grateful if you could see your way to slinging a score my way if so inclined. Cheers!

Cheap domain names?

http://www.aussiewebhost.com.au is pretty good. $35 for 2 years on a .com.au domain.
We use MediaTemple for hosting and they've been amazing.

Any advice for those who have just started working in a design studio?
Posted 29.03.2012 @ 5.34PM
I used to work in a very boutique design studio with a crazy amazing illustrator. As the token girl brought on to tackle the publication design work, I started off the same as you, Mish.
I quickly realised that if I added something to the conversation and joined in once in a while, I'd get to know everyone a little better and *surprise surprise* found out we all had shared interests and even shared acquaintances!
I still keep in touch with these awesome dudes 6 years later.
