Get Over US$1 Million Dollars Worth Of Sales Expertise
As you know, we’re always on the lookout for ways to help you improve your business and maximize your success through resources and content. Today, we’re writing to let you know about something which could potentially have a dramatic impact on your business, it’s called the Million Dollar Challenge.
The Million Dollar Challenge is a fabulous collaborative program put together by a business TV channel. It provides a select group of businesses with the opportunity to get access to world-leading advice from top experts, as well as tailored campaigns and marketing resources for their business, on a risk free basis.
During a global “recession” this is surely something worth investigating.
We’ve looked into this further, and we’re mighty impressed. It is something which is perfectly aligned for any business which has a solid product, service or model, but is just not growing fast enough. It’s also perfect for a business which is frustrated by failed attempts at business development, or is concerned about ROI from marketing efforts.
Current participants range from a high-end software company to an executive search firm. There are also SME’s on the Million Dollar Challenge.
We asked yourBusinessChannel if we could tell all of our contacts about this program. They’ve set up an explanatory video for you to view here. If you are interested, you can also answer a few simple questions online to apply straight away.

This is a great video and really gets to the point of clients abusing vendors and service providers. I am sure every designer has had this happen to them more than once.
Using (and even accessing) an en and em dash in your typography can get tricky. Here’s how to properly use (and access) them.
As Bringhurst says in, The Elements of Typographic Style: “In typescript, a double hyphen (–) is often used for a long dash. Double hyphens in a typeset document are a sure sign that the type was set by a typist, not a typographer”
First, the en-dash* (-) is the shorter of the two (about the width of the character N) Access on the Mac is Option + -(minus) For the PC it is: hold Alt then type 0150
It is used to indicate a range of just about anything with numbers, including dates, times, numbers, game scores, and pages in any sort of document.
It is also used instead of the word “to” or a hyphen to indicate a connection between things, like:
There may (or may not) be space before and after an en dash depending on placement and context.
Second, the em dash, which is about the width of a capital “M” It is accessed on the Mac by hitting
Shift+Option+- (minus) On the PC: hold Alt then type 0151
It indicates a sudden break in thought—a parenthetical statement like this one—or an open range, Doug Farrick, 1987—? or or instead of a colon or semicolon to link clauses.
Typically there are NO spaces before or after an em dash.
Bringhurst also says: “The em dash is the 19th century standard, still prescribed in many editorial text books, but the em dash is too long for use with the best text faces. Like the oversized space between sentences, it belongs to the padded and corseted esthetic of Victorian typography.”
An easy way to remember these is to just think of n is before m in the alphabet, so it it is the earlier or the “shorter” of the two.
* the en-dash might not display properly depnding on what browser you are using. But outside the browser world it should be fine.

Sorry to do this folks, but I have been bombarded with spam on this blog way too much. With spam being such an issue and taking up too much of my time, I have to stop all future postings of comments. I was hoping this would not happen, but these idiot spammers just keep coming and the more time I have to take dealing with deleting spam, the less time I have to create posts on my blog or content on CreativePublic.com. Nothing sucks more than spending a 1/2 hour per day deleting this crap. I am sure all of you understand this in one way or another, we all have to deal with it enough through email.

Okay, I think this photo says enough. This is exactly why our industry is in trouble due to low end design and cheap ass pricing.
I have to say I found these three articles to be to the point. They show what is involved in design and client changes and seeing things laid out like this might be a good idea to slap your bad client around with a printed copy of these just to teach them a freaking lesson. 😉

Well, it’s about time that I start blogging. I have been putting it off for years, never thought it was something I wanted to do. Now that I finally signed up for twitter, I have decided that a blog will help me post quick information about related content to the design industry and to CreativePublic.com’s visitors and members more often and easier than I first thought it would. I plan to post regularly, so follow me on my blog or twitter account.
Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress so organization of the blog and content will change over time once I get used to this WordPress stuff.
Thanks, for dropping by.
