Professional graphic designers: You have a lot to juggle! Blog articles directly related to your day-to-day responsibilities can provide useful information. Examples:
• Specifying paper stock for print jobs.
• What makes a job ideal for digital printing versus offset printing?
• Tips for repurposing print layouts to online layouts.
• What are QR Codes and how can they add to your project?

Please tell me: What would you like to learn more about? What topics would be most helpful and most interesting?

@anartist gave a good response. Even that won’t need to be written about more than once or twice.
The work we do is learned and used forever. We update our knowledge with each job.
Your time would be better spent informing the public about the requirements and possiblities of graphic design. I would love to have clients that understand this is REAL work, takes real time and that there is a great deal of knowledge involved.
