- I'm here to find others who, like me, have a hatred for Comic Sans that radiates from the inner depths of their soul, find such simple joys in creating visual ideas that work, and can turn me on to graphic design ventures and opportunities in Indianapolis.
Chocolate and Creative Spark!
The Creative Spark bar is a self-promotion tool I created to stand out from the slew of resumes that creative directors receive. I wrapped this around a king-sized chocolate bar and mailed it to various ad agencies and design firms in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Washington, D.C. The response was great, but all who responded said they simply just weren't hiring.

- Good Morning, I just read your profile and thought as a small business professional you might be interested in our local business network (IBN). Indiana Business Network has chapters all over the state. Locally we meet in Plainfield every Wednesday morning at 10am. There is no cost or obligation to check it out and the monthly dues are only $25.00. I joined recently and it is by fare the least expensive means of lead generation that I've found. I'd be happy to answer any questions if you are interested. P.S. I utilized Comic Sans in virtually all my marketing materials and grew the business to 5M. Bummr and I thought I was doing something right!

- Well, thank you! The site has really started to take off. It just exited beta and now has more than 10,000 student members contributing over 30,000 documents.
I'm not however the actual founder, although I was one of the first hired to begin work on the site during it first month of operation.
I see you work for yourself? What exactly do you do?
