We all like to make a statement. You should consider the styling of your branding as carefully as you style yourself. Make sure your logo and branding remains a classic..simple, classy and made to measure.

It’s such a short month that it’s easy to miscalculate your working schedule and I realised I’d given myself two less days than I anticipated to hit a design deadline. ‘Time out’ is so vital to your well being and creativity, so, tempting as it is to ‘power through’, remind yourself to take ten minutes in the sunshine or book that well earned massage.

January’s a month of evaluation, realignment, reassessment, a month to reaffirm and reflect. With the dawn of the new year comes new resolve…to land that big corporate client, improve your skills and break through that financial glass ceiling. It doesn’t always pan out that way though.
