There are a lot of…

Huh? Who are you?
It’s like I fell off the face of the Earth or something… Work’s been really busy as of late. We just hired a new jr. designer to help relieve some of the workload here at PowerServe. I’ve been ignoring my site because I just haven’t had time to devote any time to it. Traffic has…

The Unspoken Rules of Graphic Design
(Hat Tip: Adland via Zeldman.com) Some of these I agree with, others could be reworded. I’ve taken the liberty to post comments in grey/span> below.
