Creative resources

Ok... so I'm not nearly caught up with my 1000+ unread blog posts but I've been seeking out some resources for creatives.  Here they are in no particular order:

Coroflot - Jobs & Portfolios for creative people :  A great way to network
Design is Kinky : Cruise jobs and submit news
Create Magazine :  A host of resources for the US.  Networking, chat, set up an online profile. Regional breakdowns
LuLu :  Self publishing.  Create your own book, brochure, CD/DVD presentation.  Very affordable. Nice.
LinkedIn :  Expand your network.
Graphic Design Jobs Central :  Yeah... graphic design jobs but also architecture, gaming, marketing, music and more.
Design Encyclopedia - Written :  Submit your design articles and essays here.
IdeaFixa - Art e-magazine  :  OMG... this was too cool.
Artivi :  Sorta like YouTube for artists and galleries.  Well done.
Wet Canvas : Art Resources

I can definitely vouch for Lulu. They're a remarkable organization - I've used them quite a bit over the past few years, and have nothing but compliments.

The two or three times I've had a problem (misprinted book, question about their site, etc), their customer service knocked me out (replaced the book for free, answered the question clearly, quickly and friendly).

And of course, the quality of their stuff is very good. Their books look quite professional. I think Lulu is pretty great.

    - Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank

  • "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."

    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
