Overcoming challenges is critical on the path to success, so dealing with them in a healthy manner is really important for entrepreneurs.

When it comes to employment, there is one ‘must have’ trait. Can you guess what it is? It is work ethic.

Does my business really need a website? The answer is: ‘Yes, it does’. If you are a small business owner, you have probably had someone tell you to get a website. But why should you? There are not many businesses that can survive without an Internet presence, and there is no reason not to have one.

ART OF GRAPHIX: Unlocking the creative spirit
Creative people are those who imagine the possibilities and wonders of the world. They can immerse themselves in imagination and fantasy, yet remain grounded enough to turn their dreams into reality. They are often described as dreamers, but that does not mean they live with their heads in the clouds. Art must be creative as it is a product of our imagination. We can use art as an expression of our feelings, emotions and selves.
ART OF GRAPHIX: Putting favourite formats on file
PNG (portable network graphic) is a type of image file that is often favoured in web design and creative projects involving Photoshop or similar software.

PNG is one of my favourite image files.
ART OF GRAPHIX: Website content key to repeat customers

Adobe is to graphics and video what Microsoft is to data.

ART OF GRAPHIX: Don’t let storage woes cloud your designing
If you are a designer working behind a computer, there will always be the need for a large storage bin to place bits and pieces of edited and unedited photos plus data in. The need for large storage can never be evaded. Super high resolution files that are typical of graphic design can consume pretty large amounts of data. Moreover, you may have started arranging a portfolio of records, and suddenly realise that more storage space is required.

With graphic design becoming increasingly more accessible as a career, breaking the rules could be viewed by some as forward-thinking.
