Rant

What is it with sigwriters? Are they all born without any idea about design or typography (or colour, for that matter?) Do they train at all, or do they just buy a machine & decide to be a signwriter in the manner of those who think they are designers because they can use InDesign, or (God help me), Microsoft Publisher?

Viewing signwriting sites is causing me to lose will to live. Only one so far with any design merit. Will choose them for price to produce signs.

International Freelancers Day

Am signing up for the International Freelancers Day online conference (September 24 and 25).

Some cool speakers. Two of my faves: Pamela Slim and Michael Huggins (from For Graphic Designers Only (FGDO)).
