Newsletters! Signed, sealed, delivered right to your inbox

As businesses have been forced to adapt to the new post-COVID-19 lifestyle, many are pivoting to be online (or more online). If you’ve been doing plenty of online orders lately, you may find yourself in possession of a huge cache of emails and wondering what to do with them. Though it might be obvious, newsletters are a great way to use that new resource to your best advantage.

There’s No Shortage of Design Work

TL;DR: Instead of competing to design visual assets, you should help design content. It is always in demand, requires ongoing attention, pays better—and no one else wants to deal with it.

A Message from GDC

As a national association that holds an event somewhere in Canada every week, GDC is extremely concerned about the potential impact of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of our members and their families.
