BuzZ March :: The Army of One

Conceptualizing, Drafting, Designing, Producing, Copywriting, Revising, Printing... and you're in it all alone.

Designers know that not all work is done by an agency in large groups or a departmental team. Often designers find themselves being the single creative force in a variety of industries and companies. Even the lone wolf freelancers sometimes face the trials of the one-person-show. It's expected that the lone creative one may branch into numerous more responsibilities outside of the creative spirit.

In today's job markets it's not uncommon for calling needs of a Jack or Jill-of-all-trades where designers find themselves to be the entire team-in-one.

Join Andrew Lichtenhan, Tech Writer and Graphic Specialist for WIX Filters, in discussing how designers can strategize and cope with the demands of being the all-in-one workforce and design department machine. What can you bring to the table successfully when it's you, and you alone, under the deadline?
