I was surfing the Internet and ran across this link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics about graphic designers. Interesting read, but I was mostly looking at how low the average designer really gets paid as well as the growth of our industry, not much has changed over the years. The graphic design industry is growing, but salary always seems to stay about the same year after year while everything else around us tends to get more expensive. I sometimes feel we are part of a slave labor force, always on, always providing and always expected of immediate delivery and immediate client satisfaction (you should all know this, every client seems to think we have an easy button on our keyboard). I have been a graphic designer for over 22 years and the pay pretty much has stayed the same all these years with some growth in salary, but not by much.
This is a great article showing some solid resources for stock photography and what to expect on price and image sizes:
Stockphotolicense.com, an educational copyright resource for photo buyers and researchers, launches their new website today with the goal of explaining in simple terms how one can use an image online and the various legal complexities of digital image use. The site provides detailed information on image license types, photo copyright issues, legal protections and extensions, using free images, Creative Commons, personal vs. commercial use and provides a list of questions you can ask your image suppliers before you buy an image.

Most of us love a bargain – but the problem is finding the time to seek them out.
I usually check out a few bargain sites at the beginning of each day to take a look at what is available. For me, this involves mostly computer equipment, electronics, hardware, etc. But I have also found some other super “deals” as well.
Something I do (and you may consider too) is to make a list of the equipment you are looking for and post it near your computer. Mine has items like: external hard drives, new camcorder, and a new keyboard among others.
For example, I just picked up a nice Plantronics Bluetooth Headset for only $24.99 AND free shipping. The same item goes for approximately $65 on Best Buy – a *cool* savings of $40 – nice.
Here are a few “deal” sites that are worth looking into on a regular basis.
Deal Hack – http://www.dealhack.com/index.html
Deal Catcher – http://www.dealcatcher.com/
TechBargains - http://www.techbargains.com/
Woot – http://www.woot.com/
There is a definite “thrill” that comes when finding a good bargain that is perfect for your needs.
Here’s hoping you’ll find a few more (soon).
This is a really good Web site check list for Web designers.
I ran across this site today for the first time. I guess I live under a rock. I found some of the content very interesting and wanted to pass the link along. Happy reading.
