GF: My love for music and my idea of creating a platform to show something different in my work. The name is a homage to Andy Warhol and his cover for The Velvet Underground.

Marketing. It’s essential in today’s design world. You might have a good product but if its weak on branding, labeling, packaging, shelf appeal, matching coat hangers, etc., it’ll look bad. Consistency also needs to be achieved across the spectrum including same font, same style, etc. Designing is totally open to new creations and ideas, so anything goes, but there are some boundaries that you don’t want to cross, while others you need to break through.

Along the way, I developed the five simple questions below that I wish I could have asked myself before all this started. In my case, the answers would have still been yes, but it would have been nice to think about beforehand.

Here is one I bet you didn’t know makes tons of money. Did you know people make dog biscuits and dog toys to sell on eBay? If you are you looking for more info about Landtees visit our web site. They are very easy to make and they sell great! You can find a trusted recipe for dog biscuits and modify it very easily. If you have a dog, you have a tester, lol. People that sell dog biscuits made at home shape them like a bone (you can find cutters like shaped like bones if you look around on eBay ). Then they put them in a package and sell them online.

At the end of your run have the DJ announce the winners of the big prizes and if possible provide a small bag with coupons and other small gifts (maybe you can persuade a t-shirt company to make T-shirts for the event for little or no cost) to all the participants.

All three partners actively participate in running the business. Palmer does the majority of the graphic design, especially on the clothing side. Adam really focuses on web design and interactive media. Colin’s focus is more on business development, client relations and community partnerships.

And, if you are in college, you should definitely intern the summer or the semester before you plan on graduating or – if you are planning to make a career switch – the few months before you plan to make this switch. That way you will be fresh in the minds of the people with whom you’ve worked and they will be more likely to remember you and help you get a job.
