Welcome to

I’m a big map nut. I love and appreciate the beauty of cartography. There was a site that i found to be inspiring. Cartifact dot com is a site that builds custom maps for individuals and businesses. I did some research on the company. The company is based in Los Angeles and they have been in business for many years. They do some major project with the city of LA. I was thinking that running your own home based company could be a cool idea too. If you have skill in photoshop or illustrator, then you could probably set up your own small business. You could put up a website and start with that. This type of business would be perfect for work at home moms. It would be good for design students as well.

I like my job, but i don’t want to spend the rest of my life working for somebody. I want to have more creative freedom and i want to make a little more money. The only way that i can see this happening is if i open up my own business. Business doesn’t have to be a brick and mortar establishment. The internet allows people to work from the comfort of their own home. Consultants and design professionals do a lot of freelance work. I’ve worked on a few and really liked how it turned out.

Whether you interest lies with maps or product design, you could think about starting your own design company. As long as you can create something that people want, you can run a successful business. This post started as a post about map design, but it quickly turned into an inspirational post.
