Mayday, Mayday..Computer Going Down!!

You have spent all your time, energy and money installing programs on your computer and creating your designs.  You have a library full of awesome clip art and vector art.  Now is the time to protect all of your hard work.  My computer is in the middle of a melt down and at the moment I do not have my important files backed up.  I always think of backing things up but never seem to get around to it.  Well, procrastination can lead to a complete halt on a business.

I wanted to get this posted today so I could point out how important it is to have your files backed up.  If you do not have a back-up drive, I suggest going out and buying one.  We spend hours on our designs and losing them would be a huge set back.  BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE!!!

I have been talking a lot about graphics lately because they are the nuts and bolts of any screen-printing business.  I wanted to share with you a video called "Stop Selling Products...Start Selling Graphics."  It is a free video from silkscreeningsupplies.com.  I thought it was very interesting and wanted to share it with you.  They talk about design templates, which is another thing you should have in your graphics library.

Design templates are customizable.  You can take a completed design and change different aspects of it to suite your needs.   Again, for us none graphic artists, this is a great tool.  We can take a completed design and change wording or graphics.  I am into learning about anything that can make my designing easier.

Here is the link....I hope you enjoy!



Thanks!
Jeanette
