Named after one of the four quintessential colors of the print medium, Cyan Ta'eed was always going to have a life in visual communication. After studying graphic design and working under some of the best in the industry, Cyan went on to not only art direct but manage her own web and graphic design agency Good Creative. She co-founded FlashDen.net in 2006, and then ran everyone's favourite freelance resource until December 2007, when she handed the reigns to Collis Ta'eed. Cyan is currently working on an exciting new Eden project that she's just itching to announce!

Some of Cyan's most popular articles are:

34 Places to Get Design Inspiration - Online and Off, 60 More Places to Get Design Inspiration - Online and Off, 101 Ideas to Get More Freelance Work and Generate New Client Leads, and The Monster List of Freelancing Job Sites.

    Hi, This is a site which is run by 5 others but is basically a forum of web designers and developers. We pride ourselves in being very friendly and were born as a spin off when they closed down the old Web Designer magazine forums.

    Come see us :-)

  82. PG Peter Birren

    I’ve been freelancing for almost 33 years. I set a high goal when I started, made the goal and promised I’d never do it again to that level because it took so much time away from my family. There’s still no retirement possibilities but the working conditions are great. The projects that have come my way have been unique and varied, from animation to logos, catalogs to POP, keyline/pasteup to the computer (Mac, of course). What a ride… and I still have time for flying hang gliders.

    If you’ve got the dedication to your purpose and solid personal discipline, it can be a great life. Sure beats the alternative.

  93. PG Collis

    THANK YOU! Thanks to everyone who submitted URLs, i’m just compiling them now.

    When we wrote this post calling for freelance sites we actually meant sites like freelanceswitch which gave advice to freelancers but we’ve received so many great submissions of freelancer sites (portfolios and the like) that we’ve decided that perhaps a listing service is in order. So its going into development and in a few weeks we should have a freelancer list-your-services directory available.

    The directory will charge a small monthly fee, this is so that the directory is kept current and only serious freelancers go in there (so that potential clients find it useful).

    Anyhow I’m going to keep compiling this list… Lots and lots of URLs to look through!!

    I managed both my blog and showcase at http://aendirect.com/ where you will find occasional posts on design philosophies, including my popular Wabi Sabi series “Zen Principles of Aesthetics”.

    I am willing to pay for a listing here, I have some spare change on PayPal which I don’t know where I should spend on.
