]]> Comment on Why Crowdsourcing Your Brand Is Bad by Howiehttp://taprootcreative.com/2009/10/why-crowdsourcing-is-bad/#comment-374 Howie Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:31:48 +0000 http://www.taprootcreative.com/?p=392#comment-374 In terms of crowdsourcing for designs, for me, I am quite on the fence regarding the use of a crowdsourcing site for a logo design. It is still a touchy issue for most designers who said that crowdsourcing is a no-no for obtaining a logo design. I have tried crowdsourcing before and I know the risks involved but it comes within the territory. But there are other no-frills logo design websites online such as www.logobee.com, www.logodesignstation.com, logoyes.com, etc. which are actually great in getting a professional logo design at a fraction of the price and minus the risks of crowdsourcing (plagiarism is one of them). Seeing that there are no consultation services, the price is significantly lower than that of conventional design firms. For instance, I have tried http://www.logodesignstation.com and the experience was indeed a positive one. I managed to get my business logo design at an affordable price and the turnaround time was great as well. Highly recommended. Although crowdsourcing for logo designs could be a bane for some, many find it to be a viable alternative to get a fast logo on the cheap. It all depends on the individual actually.

Use those spare minutes of time to encourage customers to snap a code (using something like our free Recommendi QR-based survey system - fully Net Promoter Score compatible.) Tip: Make sure your landing page works on a smart phone!

]]> Comment on Go to Grad School or Get a Job? by Kelsey Kopphttp://taprootcreative.com/2010/02/grad-school-or-job/#comment-124 Kelsey Kopp Wed, 23 Mar 2011 03:26:40 +0000 http://www.taprootcreative.com/?p=472#comment-124 Hi! It's a little late to be responding to this post, but I just stumbled across it on Google. I'm having the same dilemma: I don't know whether grad school would be the best option or if it would be better to just try to get a job with a bachelor's degree. I talked to my public relations professor and she actually said that journalism experience would probably be more valuable in public relations than a master's degree. But I keep hearing from everyone else that there's no real right or wrong answer there.I'm sure you've graduated by now, but I'd like to hear what you decided! I graduate next May so I still have some time left to decide, but I'm looking for any advice possible!Thanks, Kelsey Hi!
