Book Review: The Zen of Social Media Marketing (2010 Edition)
Social media marketing is increasingly becoming my primary method for promoting my company. I am active on a few social media networks and have been for a few years now. However, I consider myself to be an advanced newbie so I’m always on the lookout for new resources (books, blogs, etc.) that offer tips and advice. A few months back I heard about Shama Hyder Kabani’s book: “The Zen of Social Media Marketing” (2010) and decided to check it out.
Book Review: Designing Brand Identity

Book Review: Stationery Design Now!
Stationery Design Now! is a collection of 350 stationery and identity designs by many design firms for a variety of companies from around the world. After reading Stationery Design Now!
