Fashion Setbacks

A career in fashion can be exciting but expect setbacks along the way. It is not a reason to give up but in most cases can be a growth period. I encourage you to share your stories of how you were able to move forward as you never know who you may be helping. I had my own set back 2 weeks ago. A very dear friend of over 20 years was murdered by her husband. At this time it is still painful and even express what I feel. For the first week after it happened I found it hard to focus on my work. I  just take it one day at a time and each day gets a little easier.

Graphic design makes all the difference in presenting a quality product. You can have an amazing idea but if not presented properly it may never get off the ground. This should be taken into consideration for all materials used in marketing. For reasonable prices and quality work check out Roxi’s website: www.studio77b.com
