Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:58:30 +0000 http://www.thedesigncubicle.com/?p=3448#comment-38959 Well I've been a networking fool where my blog is concerned, but I see one of my main problems - "...but I always work extremely hard, online and off, to build relationships and network with as many people as I can. Talking about and selling your services and self are essential to any business." I've never been a PR type person and being an introvert makes it extremely difficult to do the "people" part. I guess for me then the best thing to do is continue on with the online marketing and if I happen to be shopping and someone grabs me and says, "Do you design graphics!?" I'll give them a card [grin].

I really admire you and your work. I agree with your choices of other designers (who you admire or want to talk with) also. I teach design - at the high school level - and love the fact that I can always find support resources on your website that I can share. Being able to relate projects to REAL designers' work and articles on design helps keep them engaged. Keep up the great work. Thank You! Thanks for all the great posts and tweets.
