“Design Observer, Speak Up and Voice have attracted some seasoned writers, while giving needed opportunities for neophytes to strengthen their writing muscles. Despite a few insufferable rants, blog content is now often as sophisticated and informative as any design magazine, sometimes even more entertaining.”

“Basically, you have nothing. Really, nothing at all, except the green light to start a design studio and a realistic budget that would allow you to purchase all the necessities for it to function. It sounds impossibly utopian, I know, but letís give this a try. Forget ń for a brief moment ń about worldly realities like clients, employees or time. What does a design office need to function? If you could buy anything you wanted ń skipping the luxuries ń what would be on your shopping list? Software, hardware, furniture, paper samples, office and art suppliesÖ Whatís indispensable for good, well-oiled functioning?”

“Since web geeks think in pixels and RGB, itís a daunting new world to head into unequipped. Over the years across quite a few print jobs by now, Iíve had to learn by trial and error. As someone used to thinking in RGB, Iíve looked high and low for a good resource to turn to for help in converting that knowledge to CMYK. This may not be that resource, but I figure Iíve amassed at least the beginnings of a how-to on the subject. Consider it non-authoritative, but hopefully useful. Most of the knowledge contained within applies to Photoshop, mainly because Iíve had the most trouble with it.”
