New Graphic Design Forum
January 1, 2007
A good forum is a great place to share ideas, get feedback, and learn new things from your peers. Forums are especially helpful if you are new to the world of graphic design and the freelance business. Theres a new graphic design forum in town that not only focuses on design side of graphic design, but also aims to help you with the business side.
This new forum is the Your Design Forums
This graphic design forum is the brain child of Gino, author of You The Designer. If this name sounds familiar, its because I interviewed him a while back. You can read the interview here.
While the forum is still new, I see great things for it in the future. So go check out this new graphic design forum and tell me what you think.
