Well folks, the vote is in! Next Day Flyers used Random.org to select the winner. And the winner is . . . Jim Laughter Congratulations Jim! And I hope that you enjoy the cards! For the rest of you, don't give up!! Next Day Flyers is already planning another giveaway for January! So be sure to keep reading and watch for your chance to enter! Also, while your comments didn't necessarily impact your winning, I thoroughly enjoyed them and it was so nice to actually hear from my readers!!

A couple of weeks ago I was approached by an online printer with the possibility of doing a free giveaway of their product via In Search of Design. Unfortunately, I wasn't familiar with the company in question, "NextDayFlyers.com" so I explained that without first hand knowledge of their product quality I wouldn't feel comfortable introducing my readers to their company.

The sales rep that I had spoken to set me up with a free order of these cards as well, so that I could see their quality first hand, no strings attached. If I liked the cards, we could do the giveaway, if not, no problem. All that to say, when the cards arrived last week, I was very pleased with the results! The card stock and gloss quality are as good as any I've seen and what I've dealt with from a customer service angle thus far has been great. Next Day Flyers specializes in quick turnaround on everything from business cards to brochures.

Recently I was in a seminar setting where the speaker made the following statement, "you have to choose between a designer that is creative and one that makes their deadlines". I'll be honest, that statement made my blood boil.

For starters I see this condition, what I call, "artist entitlement" among creatives in every field. Basically, it's used primarily as an excuse to miss deadlines, have temper tantrums or otherwise behave unprofessionally. It saddens me that so many creatives behave this way that colleagues mention it in their seminars.
