Blog Moved!

I’ve spent the last few weeks updating the layout of my website. In the process, I also took the liberty of moving my blog back to wordpress… again. So with the new layout and new blog, I hope to be as informative as possible on the services I provide while showcasing the design projects I work on in my spare time. I hope you enjoy what you see!

My new blog can be viewed at http://www.dntdynamite.com/blog

Stock Illustrations Poll

In the next few weeks I hope to introduce a new section on my site that offers stock illustrations that I've created just for fun at an affordable price.

I'm still researching how to do this so bare with me people!

You Get What You Pay For!

Pricing design work has always been a challenge and concern for designers and their clients, and of course for me.

Why? I guess the following pretty much sums it up:

Clients often want art fast and cheap.

A good phrase to use is: "You can have it good, you can have it fast, or you can have it cheap. Pick two." In other words, you can have it good and cheap but not fast, or fast and good but not cheap, etc.

This was a blog post I read recently over on the drawingboard.org and I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief! ...aah!

I’ve vented in the past, slammed my mouse and almost shut down my computer after reading some of the cost proposals that come in to me but in an effort to remain as professional as possible, I thought posting the following collection of articles would help readers know that good design does come with a price!

REASONS WHY GOOD DESIGN IS WORTH SOME $$$
Why Logo Design Does NOT cost $5
How Much Does a Graphic Designer Cost?
First Steps To Graphic Design Pricing
How to Price Graphic Design Services


I'll be back with more...

New Year! New Site!

Well, my newly tweaked website is up and running.

I say tweaked because it is not a full re-design. I simply wanted to have a more up-to-date portfolio to go a long with this new year.
