It’s July 1! Canada Day for us Northerners (thanks for making me work on my day off, yeesh), and just another new month everyone else. However, it is possibly the greatest month of the year, thanks to the warm weather and epic thunder-and-lightning shows put on by Mother Nature. Speaking of Mother Nature, she’s a good source of inspiration. So get outside (after downloading this wallpaper) and get inspired!

It’s April! Time for tomfoolery, yardwork, and perhaps the last few days of snowboarding before putting the board away and claiming you’re going to get out way more next year. Along with these staples of the month, here is another: the April Desktop Calendar Wallpaper. Pastel colors and themes of growth are the foundation of this design; download it, set it as your wallpaper, and never be unsure of the date again! For this month, anyway.

If you don’t know about Inspired Magazine, I suggest you head over there and check ‘em out/bookmark them/follow them etc. They’re a daily design inspiration web mag that posts links, articles, design elements and a whole bunch of other goodies.

This week, I wrote a guest post for them called How to Fail at Your Design Business. It’s a tongue-in-cheek article that provides good information on what to avoid when running your own design business:

This is it. You’ve worked many long, hard hours developing your Pen tool skills in Illustrator to the point you could probably add “Pen Tool Ninja” to your business card. You’ve learned so much about graphic design that your head is bigger than Rush Limbaugh’s waistline. You know so much about web design that you pretty much invented the Internet. Now’s the time.

You’re starting your own design business.

Running your own design business is part awesome, part OHGODWHATHAVEIDONE. You’ll find tons of How to articles online, dealing with how to be a successful designer slash businessman. But where can you find an article on how to fail at your design business?
