Being a freelance motion graphics designer, I’m constantly on the lookout for websites that will improve both my knowledge of the industry and my skills; however, I find this isn’t good enough because when I became a freelancer, I became my own business. I have to keep all my creative paths at the top of their game because I’m not able to pay for a lot of extra services on the money I currently make. That means I’m my own website developer, illustrator, writer, coder, photographer and so on. I have to wear multiple hats if I want to get things done inexpensively and fast.
To gain all that knowledge, I usually scour multiple websites dedicated to specific genres and try to soak up all the knowledge they offer. If they are good enough, I post the website here for everyone to view, and me to remember.
Lately, I have been finding myself constantly going back to a network of websites that I came across a while ago. All these websites are related in structure but have content spread across all the creative fields I’m interested in and many I’ve only dabbled in. Because they’re all part of the same network, this saves me time I would usually spend surfing the internet, which, in turn, saves me money (because, time is money, after all).
Fuel Brand Inc., which is an aptly named company, has created this network of sites that, as cheesy as it sounds, fuels your creativity. There are sites dedicated to motion graphics, writing, coding, illustration, venture, blogging, creativity, apps and so much more. As you move from site-to-site, you begin to realize the wealth of knowledge that this network has provided for its viewers. Articles full of tips and opinions, tutorials, industry news, interviews, inspiration, jobs and so much more for all areas of creativity are at your fingertips.
You would be hard-pressed to find all this knowledge spread across the internet, let alone in one network, and it’s all for free. I can’t recommend this site enough for anyone working in the freelance industry or those who are currently working for a company in the industry.
If you want stay on top of your industry, and all other creative industries, you have to visit the Fuel Brand Network.
