			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got into graphic design and website development pretty much as a hobby just over 10 years ago designing t-shirts, flyers and small websites for bands, clubs and promoters throughout the U.S. as a lot of them I met while on the road with the band I was a member of. There was no myspace. There was no Purevolume. We did it all the old fashioned way by getting a &#8220;gig&#8221;, designing a flyer and plastering them allover cities and towns that we were playing.</p>
<p>During this time of sitting behind a computer, whether a laptop traveling in a van or a desktop in my home office, I have noticed one major thing. A strong sense of community and help from one designer to the next. In a time of major financial downfall with huge corporations, it seems, in my opinion, that within the design and web development community, there is a strong sense of &#8220;Let&#8217;s stand together&#8221;. I often wonder if those in charge at &#8220;bigger&#8221; companies that launch ads attacking one another such as <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/13/audi-bmw-ad-war-takes-to-the-streets-of-socal/">these</a>, sit back at the end of the day and send a quick note through email, twitter, facebook, etc simply mentioning, &#8220;Great job on that project&#8221; or &#8220;Thanks for your help with my (insert project here)!&#8221;. I agree, business is competition but getting through the day together provides a better sense of community for all.. Thoughts?</p>
