My entrepreneur and small business clients find all the design-related information to be unnecessary clutter for the majority of them. They prefer the information and ideas of how they can market their business better. Very few of them care about the how and why of design, they would rather have someone else worry about that –> like ME icon smile Construction Zone: Aim It Media & Creativarty

My designer friends and industry professionals find all the marketing-related information to be unnecessary information for the majority of them.

So …

Over the next week (hopefully not longer), I will be redesigning Aim It Media to be simpler and more focused on Marketing (with some business).

I am designing a completely new blogsite Creativarty strictly for design-related articles, posts and resources.

I’ve also created a new Twitter profile at Twitter/Creativarty … although I’m not tweeting form it yet, follow me there for all design-related tweets since Twitter/AimItMedia will be used for business and marketing tweets.
