Creative Tips for Designers, Part I: Productive Work

Meet James. James is 27 and is a freelance designer. He sells his creations through his shop on Spreadshirt and also does some graphics work on a contract basis for a few companies in his area. He makes his living from his art. It’s been a little bit since James has sold any designs, so he’s decided to dedicate his weekend to creating some really cool new stuff.

Sniff… So now it’s up to you to show the world how funny parents really are by properly dressing them in funny parent t-shirts from Spreadshirt. Read more
