  • Share Your AdviceGraphic Design Spotlight10 Graphic Design Quarterly Taxes Due Today Tuesda
  • Graphic designers working as freelancers or running a business pay quarterly estimated taxes to avoid penalties and large payments at the end of the year. Here are the quarterly estimated tax due dates for 2012. Estimated quarterly taxes are taxes paid throughout the year rather than all at once in April of the following year. These estimated taxes are paid by people working for themselves who do not have tax withheld automatically from the company they are working for. There are two primary benefits to paying quarterly taxes.

  • Graphic designers create visual concepts, by hand or using computer software, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, or captivate consumers. They help to make an organization recognizable by selecting color, images, or logo designs that represent a particular idea or identity to be used in advertising and promotions.  
  • Most of these workers are employed in specialized design services, publishing, or advertising, public relations and related services. In 2010, about 29 percent of graphic designers were self-employed.

What is Typography All About? - 0 views

typography design

shared by Merrilee L on 04 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • If you think about it, the craft of typography is little more than the combination of three very simple things: attention to detail, common sense and visual acuity. Sure, there are typographic rules and guidelines, but they are, for the most part, just based on what is sensible and pleasing to the eye. Learning to identify the parts of a character may increase a designer’s business vocabulary, and knowing the lineage of Garamond designs may aid in the choosing of a good modern revival of the face, but the real key to typographic success is basically just “sweating the details” and a simple coordination of mind and eye.

  • What Is Graphic Design?
  • Graphic design combines the creativity and formal characteristics of fine art with the audience-centered approach of marketing to create effective visual communication. Unlike fine art, it is always in the service of the client’s needs.
  • To do this, designers analyze data about the intended audience, such as the audience’s class, gender, education, buying habits, personality traits, favorite magazines and television shows, and so on.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • articles & reports
  • Designers take that demographic and psychographic information and look at what that audience sees. For instance, if the intended audience loves Martha Stewart, designers look at Martha Stewart magazines, ads, and products to analyze their visual vocabulary (color, theme, shape, typeface, composition).
  • Design based in this understanding of the intended audience is highly successful. Trying to design without it is like trying to communicate without knowing the language of the listener.
  • In addition to a broad grounding in fine art, marketing, and creativity, graphic designers also build an extensive body of technical knowledge regarding paper stocks, printing inks, special processes such as foil-stamping or embossing, printing processes and limitations, digital file preparation, quality control, and troubleshooting. Graphic design encompasses any product that’s “ink-on-paper” (brochures, logos, book jackets, billboards, packaging, etc). Each medium has its own technical considerations that designers must master in order to achieve their intended effect.

  • The organizations they target rarely divulge their losses.
  • And government agencies also don't publicize these losses.
  • When entering a computer system, these termites don't always make a full exit. No, they leave Trojan horses behind for future work, waiting deep down in the computer for the right moment
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • Some Cyber intruders are homegrown, but many come from dozens of other countries, in particular China and Russia.
  • Intruders search, steal, destroy and unbeknownst to their hosts, alter data.
  • But these bad electrons, on the Internet, hide in plain sight.
  • The Russians still seek a military advantage. But, perhaps in an attempt to diversify a natural resource-dependent economy, they focus on securing financial data and viewing proprietary information. Mikhail Fradkov, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, said publicly:
  • The Chinese come for these reasons and more. They're sophisticated and very good. They use at least 100,000 full-time cyber-warriors, plus thousands of hackers-for-hire.
  • The French, North Koreans, Estonians and our Israeli friends, are deep into this game.
  • In 1994, less than 16 million people were on-line…and dial-up was king.
  • We considered using the Internet to empty the bank accounts of key Serbian leaders.
  • But it was also a wake-up call. In taking this step, we'd open Pandora's Box.
  • Yes, we'd could probably inflict great damage.
  • China, Russia and other countries, in an effort to reduce time and capital investments in research and development, at the expense of the United States, continue to use traditional human and technical methods of espionage.
  • Chinese attackers have extracted sensitive data from Google, Adobe, Yahoo, Dow Chemical, Symantec and the US Chamber of Commerce. The PRC, of course, denies its involvement. But with improvements in detection, tracking and occasional slip ups on their end, we'll know where they've been, or better yet, when they are in the act. Yet, even with these improvements we've found that many organizations are compromised for 6--12 months and even longer without detecting it.
  • And ultimately we'll need international protocols in order to corral hackers before they send bad electrons our way.
  • It will take much discussion within the US and around the globe, but increased cooperation will add value to the Net and save all legal participants a great deal of money. Secondly, cyber security is improving. But we need to invest in its constant improvement.
  • We probably have the technology now that can do this. We need the legislation, and the will to get it done.
  • The effort to protect a global Internet is not too different from when people debated how to decrease the number of airline hijackings.
  • But in the 1960's there were literally hundreds of hijackings.
  • The first recorded hijacking took place in 1931, when armed revolutionaries took over a plane in Lima, Peru.
  • The advent of Cuba as a preferred destination sure didn't help. And the friendly hijacking skies of North Africa also probably spurred on these airborne bandits. By the 1970's, almost every nation, including Cuba, which by then was seeing hijackers fly both ways,
  • So Nation states came together and hammered out agreements.
  • China and Russia have both experienced intrusions. But not many. Yet, if the Net remains the same, they like the Cubans before them will probably see the advantage of bringing genuine law and order to the cyber world.
  • the Chinese may just want to come to the bargaining table sooner, rather than later. Over Christmas holiday, Saint Nick hackers visited the Middle Kingdom spreading not-so-good-cheer across China's piece of the Internet. They picked up over 100 million Internet usernames, pass words and email addresses from some of China's most popular on-line sites …
  • This medieval icon shows a portion marked as "Terra Incognito"-- the unexplored territories, beyond the edge of the then-known world. A famous Latin phrase warns, "Here be Dragons." And yet there brave and resourceful men, then as now, who ventured into the unknown, discovered a new world, and unleashed one of the most expansive economic periods in history.
  • In 21st Century America, some worry about the dangers that may emerge from the cyber world, as well they should.
  • It's our tradition to actively meet the future with hope, optimism, and energy, as we step forward prepared to meet the unexpected.

  • Graphic design basically is visual problem solving using text and/or graphical elements. Your aim is to create something that is pleasing to the eye, and gets the attention of the viewer. But things can't just look cool. They have to work as well.
