miztarromeo: Can I download COREL X7 online

Corel.com

Excellent.

Awesome. The Artists did wonderful jobs.
And, you OP, nice job putting'em together.

PrinceAdepoju: that's cool, bro.
I bet you've learnt a lot

Sure did.

I must Say: Interesting. Love these.

Creativity defined.

erad: After the whole "bad-mouthing". I was expecting to see something worth my time. I ended up being disappointed. Or is that not the creative logo you designed on your profile?

I'll advise you spend more time improving yourself and less time trying to bring others down.

You'll be shocked to know that most of those designs you call templates are from scratch. Yes, designers up there are that good and they didn't get there by mistake.

Work on yourself bro, your designs need it.

When a fool talks, you should be able to tell. He is a BIG FOOL! I'm sorry to say this.
This is the type of people that'll charge 1k for Logo designs and it'll take them two months to come up with samples and they'll say, I'm doing from scratch. That's why.

I Fear.

And Finally, I'm done. Your views please.

Part Two Done. Now on the concluding part.

Mail not going through.

Then, that is complete ... Better to go on foot.

I’ve conducted many dozens of job interviews in the past
several years. I’ve hired some great folks as a result of
these interviews, but my experience rejecting candidates
is also pretty extensive.

I’ve gained some decent insight
into why candidates fail, and it often comes down to some
interviewing skills for which all good interviewers expect,
regardless if they know it or not.

You may be a promising candidate, but you may be getting
rejected because of bombing out on some of these skills.
So, if you’re getting a lot of rejection calls from
interviewers and you’re not sure why, these tips may be
helpful. Here are my top three reasons for rejecting
candidates.

1. Failure to Display Any Passion. To be successful in
almost any professional role, you need to have a high
degree of passion. That’s not to say you need to be
bouncing off the walls with energy, but if you look like
you’re about to fall asleep in the interview, you’re not
giving the interviewer the impression that you’re going to
dive into the job with any degree of interest or
professional curiosity.

Passion can be demonstrated in your body language,
inflection of voice, the light in your eyes, and the way in
which you show excitement when you tell that story about
when you saved the day in your last job.


2. Failure to Connect With the Job Description. All
too often, candidates come into an interview thinking they
know what the job requirements are just by reading the
job title. Most job descriptions do a halfway decent job of
explaining some of the main skills and/or experience
needed to be successful in the role. It’s unfortunate that
candidates often ignore this information and try to spend
most of the interview talking about skills and experience
that have no relevance to the job.

It’s OK if you lack some (or a lot) of the direct experience
listed in the job description, but if you make a conscious
effort to connect your experience to the skills I’m looking
for, that’s a huge plus. This shows that you took the time
to read and understand the job description, understand
the skills I’m looking for, and properly prepared for the
interview.


3. Failure to Ask Questions. I interviewed a promising
candidate a few years ago who was well on his way to
getting an offer. His experience was relevant, his
leadership and communication skills appeared strong, and
he was knocking the interview questions out of the park.
Towards the end of the interview, as I always do, I left
plenty of time for questions. He had none. He didn’t show
the slightest bit of curiosity regarding how our
organization was structured, how the team worked, what
challenges we were working through, … nothing.

Unfortunately, his resume ended up in the “rejected” pile.
An internal candidate may be able to get away with this
depending on the circumstances of the relationship with
the interviewer, but there’s no excuse for an external
candidate to not have any questions. Even if the
interviewer spends a large amount of time explaining the
ins and outs of the job, there are still hundreds of
questions a candidate could ask.

Having no questions
gives the interviewer the impression that the candidate
doesn’t understand the job well enough to ask intelligent
questions, doesn’t have any professional curiosity, or
doesn’t even care about how things are done at the
organization.

A good candidate will have many questions written down
in advance; ready to pull one out when the time is right.
Ideally, the questions will come naturally during the
course of the interview, but there’s nothing wrong with
referring to your notes to jog your memory.

The majority of the interview rejections I’ve given have had
one or more of these three failures. Notice that technical
competency isn’t on the list. For most job positions, a
baseline technical competency is a requirement, but there
are so many other traits that can predict whether a
candidate will be a good fit for the job.

The next time
you’re preparing for an interview, practice demonstrating
passion, connect your experience with the job description,
and prepare to ask questions. You’ll have a much greater
chance of landing that offer.

Coming.

People want to do business with other people, not with companies. Putting a strong personal brand on the frontline of your sales process can dramatically improve conversion rates.


Your company's brand is one of the most important factors for its eventual success. It's the culmination of your company's identity, packaged and presented in a way that's pleasing, familiar, and attractive to your prospective and recurring customers.
However, companies and organizations aren't alone in the need for solid branding.

Personal branding, the art of building a unique brand around yourself as an individual, is just as important. Just as so with a traditional brand, personal branding requires you to find a signature image, a unique voice, and a recognizable standard that your readers, fans, and customers can grow to recognize.

Personal branding is becoming increasingly important because modern audiences tend to trust people more than corporations. Audiences are used to seeing advertising everywhere, and tend to believe corporations and organizations take actions and speak with only sales in mind. Personal branding allows you to establish a reputation and an identity while still maintaining a personal level of trust and interaction, usually through social media.
Furthermore, people want to do business with other people, not with companies. Putting a strong personal brand on the frontline of your sales process can dramatically improve conversion rates.
Whether you use your personal brand to consult, freelance, or drive more traffic and trust to your company, it's vitally important to establish one to stay competitive.


Step 1: Determine your area of expertise.
Before you can establish or develop your expertise, you have to decide what you want to be known for. The world of personal branding is flooded with competing entrepreneurs, so it isn't enough to choose a general field like "marketing" or "human resources." Instead, it's best to develop yourself in a very specific niche. With a niche focus, you'll have more opportunities to prove you know what you're talking about, and while your potential audience might be slightly smaller, it will also be that much more relevant. Specificity is a trade of volume for significance.


Step 2: Start writing and publishing.
Once you know your area of focus, it's time to start building your reputation, and the best way to do that is to show off your expertise. Content marketing is the best way to build a brand and reputation online; when people look for information, they tend to go back to sources that were helpful to them. If you can become a trusted source of information through your content, over time you'll become collectively known as the expert of your specific field. It's best to start your own blog and update it on a regular (at least weekly) basis, but it's also a good idea to start guest bloggingon other reputable blogs.


Step 3: Flesh out your social media profiles.
If content is the fuel for your personal brand, social media is the engine. Take the time to flesh out the details of your social media profiles, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and make sure they're consistently in line with your personal brand standards. Post updates regularly (at least once a day for Facebook and LinkedIn, at least a few times a day for Twitter), and don't be afraid to re-post your older content for your new followers.


Step 4: Speak at events and develop case studies.
If you're trying to win the business of your personal brand followers, it's a good idea to work up a few case studies. Work with your past or present clients and co-workers to spin and present a solid narrative. People love real stories more than promises or speculation, so prove what you've done by giving them digestible case studies. You should also consider looking for speaking events in your area, which will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your expertise while connecting with new audiences.


Step 5: Network, network, network.
On social media and in the real world, the key to sparking growth in your personal brand is networking. Engage with other individuals in your field, social influencers who have many connections, and anybody else who could be valuable in helping you spread the word about your expertise. Attend professional networking events to meet influencers in your area, and in the online world, engage in community discussions whenever you can. The more opportunities you have to meet people and talk, the better.

A personal brand is like a garden. Once you lay the groundwork and plant the seeds, you'll be in a great position to eventually reap the benefits. However, it still takes time and dedication to nurture and expand your creation.
As you continue to develop your personal brand, stay consistent with your efforts, pay close attention to how your audience responds to your content, and hone your direction until your focus is razor sharp.

medamillion: felix, which is one Abinibi?

Abinibi is a design academy.

-

kiki1000: Please I need tips on how to start a project on adobe after-effect, just bought the software and the worse part of it is that I tried to download tuts online but fail at ever attempt so if anybody have tips to share with me I will appreciate it much.

Visit videocopilot.net. You'll get enough tutorials to get you on your feet. And, don't forget to get C4D as well. You'll need it.

medamillion: Tanx@felix, i am good at usin bot coreldraw and photoshop but i just feel 3D Graphic&Animation is a different field entirely.With d aforementioned programs i av known how long wil it tak me to learn 3D Max/Maya and which sch in Lagos do u recommend?

Abinibi

medamillion: @Briareos, which other effect creation software can one use in place of After Effect?

3Ds max

medamillion: I am a fervent enthusiast of 3D Animation, but I don't quite know the basic programs and other prerequisite one should know very well before going into 3D Animation. Your response will be highly appreciated. NB::::I am computer literate, can work in some programs like Adobe premiere, After effects

You can get 3D max/Maya.
But, since you said can work with Premiere, it looks like you ain't good at graphics.

If that be the case, I'll advise you get design basics of Photoshop/CorelDRAW. It'll go a long way in helping you out.

Good luck.

TopNaijaMusic: we will like you to propose new graphic layouts for our site. We want it to be colourful, fun, original and professional.

With this, I think it refers to GUI.
Else, you didn't put something right.

And, "Original and professional" justifies what I said earlier.

If I'm right, you are asking designers to do GUI design for 1k?

GUI is a job that if actually you need a professional job, you'll get in touch with pros. It's not a job for everyone.

And, if you need this job, you ain't going to get it done like this.
