TO READ MORE

I'm still working on my inspiration board and goals for 2011. It's funny, I look at beautiful pictures all day long, but when it came time to pick images that reflected how I feel, I'm at a loss ... LOL

So, in the meantime, I'm piggy-backing off of a previous post, and adding - to read more!

I love to read fiction - being transported to another world, having super powers, solving a crime or walking around in a totally different era. Inspiration flows most freely then and it always helps me out of a creative rut.

Along the way someone told me, if you read ten books (in your profession) a year, within ten years you'll be within the top 10% of your field. Ten, ten and ten ... perhaps I got that mixed up somehow but I'm going with it!

I finally got my first order of the year! woo hoo, top 10% WATCH OUT

all books can be found on Amazon

In TRUST AGENTS, two social media veterans show you how to tap into the power of social networks to build your brand's influence, reputation, and, of course, profits.

THE BRAND GAP bridges the gap between brand strategy and customer experience.
excerpt from the back cover

I'm currently launching a brand upgrade and, in today's day, social media is the driving force of so many businesses, I'm hoping these two books will help me further define a solid and cohesive brand identity. My goal is to create brand recognition and loyalty among my clients, future clients and peers.

I especially can't wait to dig into the Logo Design Love. Logos aren't my specialty and I really want to work on that!

LOGO DESIGN LOVE includes sketches and final results of designs to explain why well-crafted brand identity systems are important, how to create iconic logos, and how to best work with clients to achieve success.
