Stressdesign included in Rockport Publishing Spring 2010 release.
Stressdesign is proud to be included in a new title from Rockport Publishers: Design Matters: Portfolios 01 written by Maura Keller.
During the past few years, portfolio management and self-promotion have taken on a far greater role within a graphic designer’s business model. The degree to which they can increase their earned revenue through exceptionally defined, marketing-oriented promotions and portfolio management is paramount. These individuals and agencies now identify their product as cultural tourism and stress the role of their work as economic generators.
This book defines the core elements of self-promotion and portfolio creation and provides the insights graphic designers need to showcase their work in unique and creative ways. Case studies demonstrate the different techniques designers use to create successful portfolios for different audiences and measure the results of those efforts. The book also details how often portfolios should be updated and distributed and determine workable budgets to produce a great portfolio.
Design Matters: Portfolios 01 is the sixth Rockport Publishing title work from stressdesign has been featured in since the firm was founded in 2000. Stressdesign is a brand communications firm with expertise in identity, publication and web design.

In our hometown, Syracuse University Basketball is getting tremendous attention; and for good reason. The Men’s basketball team is having another amazing season, demonstrating the talent of players and coaches. As much coverage as the team is getting in print, online and in television there’s equal coverage in a wearable medium. T-shirts. Orange T-shirts are exploding across the landscape fueled by the success of the team and events like the Orange-outs at the Dome. All this excitement has revealed a disturbing trend in bad typography, the abuse of the apostrophe. The diagram below illustrates the case.
