So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Advantages Of Employing A Design Studio Over An In-House Design Team

By Alex D White


Most standard companies usually have an in-house marketing and design team. This is primarily because of the notion that it is much cheaper to conduct graphic design services on your own rather than hiring outside services. While this is true to some extent, especially if your company is large with simultaneous design projects, it may be more advantageous to hire an outside design studio for a small or medium sized business to do your print and web design jobs.

During the last couple of years, it has become very costly to locate, hire and fund in-house design talent, particularly if the talent has experience. You will have to consider such costly particulars as salaries, boosts, software costs and upgrades, holidays, matching taxes, management, health advantages, sick days, and so forth. Additionally, you might also need to plan for the price of retaining that talent.

Turnover for design teams employed in-house can be very frustrating. Ultimately, you might find the unforeseen hidden costs and headaches outweighing the supposed cost benefits. However, by outsourcing the work, you simply worry yourself with the present design. You neither need to bother about the funding of the team nor steps to make it lucrative.

In order to stay in business, graphic design studio needs to be competitive all the time. As such, this means hiring the best talent for your job. Anytime you need a job done, you can always call the studio, whether it is a print design, print production or multi-media production. Leave the management and procurement of the talent to the studio.

If you want to find experienced design talents for your in-house design team, you can almost certainly hope to fail when on a tight budget. However, since experience grows in the design studios, there are always capable hands to do your job. This way, you can minimize delays and maximize output during the design process, hence reducing the cost and making the work easier.

Additionally, outsourcing services can be an additional advantage when it comes to presenting your general message. When creating any project, generally, you will have to manage the particulars for the job. Therefore, unless of course you are able to hire or complete the job of the art director, production manager, as well as a project manager, you might miss some particulars that may otherwise broaden your target clients and the message of the company.

When looking for a design studio, you need to find out if they are efficiently knowledgeable and responsive. Find a company that takes the time to answer all your questions about the design process or at least explains some of the topics and terms with which you are unfamiliar. Consider passing a firm that hesitates to provide you with enough information.

The greatest problem companies have is coming to terms with the hourly or project rate from the studio. However, if you put this rate into perspective and weigh it against all of the headaches and long-term costs of the internal design team, you may find the cost quite reasonable. In the long run, you save quite some money outsourcing the services.
