― Shannon L. Alder

“Graphic designers judge a cover by its book.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, N for Nigger: Aphorisms for Grown Children and Childish Grown-ups

“If you can't make it good, make it big.”

“We are the Western World. We read, see, think. Left. To. Right. We can't help it.
..The problem with Top to Bottom is that it's unAmerican. We want to begin in the depths and climb our way upward. But our typographic system argues against this and wins, and images follow suit.
..What you have to be careful to remember about Big and Small, is that they can extend to infinity in either direction. Consider: Big can always be bigger and Small smaller. The atom is the Universe and vice versa. And they're both identical.
..Left to Right, Top to Bottom, Big and Small; on a two-dimensional plane, all of these tools rely on a relative truth. Now we come to In Front Of and In Back of, which for us are big, fat lies. Very useful though, and the first of many at your disposal.”
― Chip Kidd

“A distinctive appearance and a simple set of characteristics lead to an extremely flexible brand. (pg. 38)”
― Woodrow Phoenix, Plastic Culture: How Japanese Toys Conquered the World

“Repeated elements encourage comparison of like objects and force our eye to follow from one element to the next, even when those elements only share slight similarities.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“Dissimilarity is central to creating variety.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“The ability to explain graphic design is fundamentally different from the ability to create graphic design, and it relies on different faculties. In the explanation process, the designer must deconstruct his or her work and place it in a logical sequence so one can understand its components and see how they collectively create an entity that has a specific idea, spirit, and look.
The act of designing is more ephemeral; it is an intuitive process informed by external forces that direct the intuition. Whereas a
solution can be explained, the process that created it can never adequately be understood. That’s why the process is so mistrusted, misunderstood, even resented. It is not scientific or democratic, cannot be learned by following an appropriate course of study, and cannot even be equally understood or appreciated by people of similar intellects and levels of education.”
― Paula Scher, Make It Bigger

“We navigate the world largely by recognizing the edges or boundaries between objects which brings shape into the realm of the tangible, connecting it strongly to our sense of physicality and touch.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“Form can be a powerful way to invoke the viewer’s tactile memory and mirror our experience of the physical world despite the limitations of two-dimensional images.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“When carefully selected for effect, elements and principles can work together to create powerful compositions that communicate with the viewer in ways that go beyond what content alone can accomplish.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“When used in combination with the elements, the organizing principles of art and design allow for the infinite combinations that we see when we walk through a museum, read a magazine, or play a video game. These compositions create more than just an image, they can dictate a viewer’s experience of that image.”
― Joshua Field, An Illustrated Field Guide to the Elements and Principles of Art + Design

“IT POPS, A new discovery, by: Jonathan Roy Mckinney

IT POPS is relative to space time in that it has two major components that follow the 3 laws of thermodynamics. The PIrandom creator injects an object with the relative XYZ coordinates in a model view projection that are derived by utilizing the correct Matrix math 11,10,10,10. Once Injected, the two way hash coin creator in time will create the entropy required to derive random shapes and reverse or abstract them into full objects for a complete wire frame like Michaelangelo could carve an Angel out of marble.”
― Jonathan Roy Mckinney

“If you mean business, your design will show it.”
― Olawale Daniel

“Through my design career, I realised part of my job was not only to present my ideas — but to SELL them to clients — good, thoughtful design.”
― Laura Ballerini, The Green Velvet Chair: Heartfelt stories of art and design in everyday life

“As a visual person, I always respected that ‘content was king.’ My graphic designs framed and guided viewers through words. Merging the two was where the real magic happened.”
― Laura Ballerini, The Green Velvet Chair: Heartfelt stories of art and design in everyday life

“What kinds of Work will You do in Freelancing?

What kind of work will you do in Freelancing? And to understand the type of work in freelancing, You need to have a clear idea of what freelancing is. There is no specific type of freelancing, it can be of many types, such as -

Freelance Photography, Freelance Journalism, Freelance Writer, Freelance Data Entry, Freelance Logo Designer, Freelance Graphics Designer etc. There's no end to the amount of work you can do with freelancing.

The most interesting thing is that you are everything in this process. There is no one to twirl over your head, you are the boss here. Even here there is no obligation to work from 9-5.

Today I discuss some freelancing tasks that are popular in the freelancing sector or are done by many freelancers. For example:

Data Entry: It wouldn't be too much of a mistake to say that data entry is the easiest job. Rather, it can be said without a doubt that data entry is more difficult than any other job. Data entry work basically means typing. This work is usually provided as a PDF file and is described as a 'Word type work'.

Any employee can take a data entry job as a part-time job for extra income at the end of his work.

Graphics Design: One of the most popular jobs in the freelancing world is graphic design. The main reasons for the popularity of this work are its attractiveness and simplicity. Everything we see online is contributed by graphics.

For example, Cover pages, Newspaper, Book cover pages, advertisements and Photographs, Editing or changing the background of a picture or photo, Creating banners for advertising, Creating visiting cards, Business cards or leaflets, Designed for webpages known as (PhD), T-shirt designing, Logo designing, Making cartoons and many more.

Web Design and Development: 'Web design' or 'Site design' are used interchangeably. The most important job of freelancing is web design. From the simplest to the most difficult aspects of this work, almost all types of work are done by freelancers.

There are many other themes like WordPress, Elementor, Joomla, and DV that can be used to create entire sites. Sometimes coding is required to create some sites. If the web designer has coding experience or skills then there is no problem, and if not then the site creation should be done by programmers.

Programming: Programming means writing some signals, codes, or symbols into a specific system. And its job is to give different types of commands or orders to the computer.

If you give some command to the computer in Bengali or English, the computer will not understand it. For that want binary code or number. Just as any book is written in English, Hindi, Japanese Bengali, etc. every program is written in some particular programming language like C++, Java, etc.

The written form of the program is called source code. A person who writes source code is called a programmer, coder, or developer. While writing the program, the programmer has to follow the syntax or grammar of that particular programming language.

Other work: Apart from the above jobs, there are various other types of jobs that are in high demand in the freelancing sector or market. The tasks are:

Writing,
Article or blog post writing
SEO Marketing,
Digital marketing,
Photo, Audio, Video Editing,
Admin jobs,
Software development,
Translation,
Affiliate marketing,
IT and Networking etc.”

“Why Should I Do Freelancing?
Guidelines for Beginners

Why do we do freelancing? People are doing nothing in the urge of life. Some are working, some are doing business, some are doing advocacy, and some are freelancing.

Everyone has one goal behind doing all this, and that is to “make money”. As the days are changing, people's needs are also increasing.

Earlier people did not have so many needs so they did not lack happiness. Everyone had their own land, from which crops, vegetables, and fruits were produced and earned a living.

Slowly the days started to change, and the use of technology also started to increase, along with it the image and attitude of people started to change.

The competitive spirit of who will get more than who, who will be ahead of who started, which continues till now.

And that is why people are constantly looking for work, some inside the country and some outside the country. Everyone has almost the same goal, and that is to earn a lot of money, stand on their own feet, take responsibility for their family, build the future of their children, and much more! But does all work make satisfactory money? Of course not.


If you are employed then you will get a certain amount of monthly income, if you are doing business then the income will be average with profit-loss-risk, and if you are freelancing then you will be able to control your income. You can earn money as you wish by working as you wish. So let's find out why you should do freelancing:-

Why Do Freelancing?
What is Freelancing? Freelancing is an independent profession. This profession allows you to work when you want, take vacations when you want, and quit when you want.

You will never want to leave this profession though, because once you fall in love with freelancing, you never want to leave. There are many reasons for this.

They are easy, self-reliance, freedom from slavery, self-king, having no limitations, etc. All of us have some latent talent.

That talent often remains dormant, those of us who spend years waiting for a job can wake up our latent talent and stand on our own feet by expressing it through work.

No need to run with a CV to any company or minister for this. Do you like to write? Can you be a content writer, can you draw good design? Can be a designer, do you know good coding? Can be a software engineer.

There are also numerous other jobs that you can do through freelancing. You too can touch the door of success by freelancing, all you need is enthusiasm, courage, willpower, morale, self-confidence, and a lot of self-confidence.

But these things are not available to buy in the market, so it will not cost you money. What will be spent is 'time' as the saying goes "The time is money and the money is equal to time". To make money you must put in the time.

Guidelines for Beginners:
As I have said before, if you think that you can suddenly start freelancing and earn lakhs of rupees and become a millionaire within a year, then I would say that bro, freelancing is not for you.

Because the greed of money gets you before you can work, you can't go any further. If you are thinking of starting freelancing to utilize your talent then definitely take advice from someone senior to you, take tips from those who are in the sector, explore online, collect video tutorials, and take free courses if available.

Still, if there is any problem or confusion which you are not able to solve, then you can visit the freelancing training center called “Bhairab ​​IT Zone”. Here students are trained professionally by experienced freelancers.”
