Multimedia Maniac

The commercial property you choose upon which to set up your graphic design business should speak volumes about the business itself. It should be appealing, the architecture should be stunning and memorable, and of course the signage should be creative but completely utilitarian.

You Are What You Look Like

First impressions are everything and are formed in the first 10 seconds of an introduction. When people drive past your graphic design business what do you want them to think? Your building will need to be large enough to house examples of your work, for all types of clientele. Some would prefer simplistic over creative; some want more artistic graphic designs than the bare essentials; and some clients want to have far more say in the design for which they’re looking—rather than handing it over to the graphic artist.

Architecture And Landscaping

If you’re renting your commercial property, be sure that if it isn’t already aesthetically appealing that it is in your lease that you are allowed to make landscaping and architectural changes. If you’re starting from scratch you’re in luck; since you’re a graphic designer you should be able to draw up extremely appealing and artistic designs and ideas for both landscaping and architecture.

Consult a financial planner before deciding whether renting or buying suits you best.

The call came early in the morning. Can you go to Tate Modern and go down the slide? Sure, never too old for that. So there I went, backpacking on the train, the tube and then a ten minute walk down to the Thames. Tate Modern had just opened a new exhibit, Test Site by Carsten H”oller.

Deadlines were looming. Radio wanted a piece, television needed a short package. I have experienced that time pressure can be the best way to get things right, right away. No time to think, no room for trying things out. First take has to be on the spot.

And that’s what happened. Within two hours I had taped the ’slide show’ and also recorded it for radio. Went down three times (it’s a dirty job, I know, and I am that someone). Edited my radio stuff in the coffee shop and sent it thanks to mobile internet ten minutes before air time.

Colleagues who saw me that evening making a fool of myself, didn’t think this kind of participatory journalism would be helpful for my image as a serious foreign correspondent. Ha ha. To hell with them.
