Freebie Friday: Vector Backgrounds, Patterns, and Florals

I’ve been tackling complicated/deep issues here at In the Worx for the past couple of weeks so I’m going to lighten up a little and share some fun freebies with you today!

And here’s a little bonus freebie for you.

I literally just discovered this really cool tool called Slick Plan. It appears to be a free tool intended for creating sitemaps and flowcharts. Something like this is helpful for me because I am a visual person and I spend a lot of time messing around drawing objects in MS Word when I’m working site maps for my web design clients. Other web-based flowchart creators I’ve come across are very expensive or too clunky to bother with. This one looks promising so I will be signing up and I’ll review it for you sometime in the future when I know if it’s good or not!

Freebie Friday: A Flowchart on Making Flowcharts

I’m in a humorous mood today so thought I’d post something fun…again.

Freebie Friday: Just Plain Fun

My family and I are on a little mini vacation right now in Memphis, TN. So while we’re have a great time at the famous Memphis Zoo today, I thought it appropriate that you should have a little fun, too.

If you haven’t met hoops & yoyo over at Hallmark, then head on over there to meet these two hilarious little creatures and their friends. I’ve been a huge fan of hoops & yoyo since their debut many years ago. They’ve gotten a few of my previous co-workers and I through some pretty stressful times just by visiting them. We loved all their animations poking fun at working at the office…which of course always hit home because they are so true.

They offer downloads, animations, printables, e-cards, a blog…heck they even have a Facebook page! My favorite is the Office Lingo Notes (PDF) on their Free Downloads page.

For those of you who are familiar with hoops and yoyo, then you already know what I’m talking about, but head on over there just the same because you KNOW you’ll be having fun in no time.

I warn you though, going to this site will make you laugh or just down right roll and you may just have so much fun that you forget all about work all together.

Have fun!

Freebie Friday: 250 Free Business Cards

For a limited time, you can get 250 free, single-sided business cards from one of our preferred online printing vendors. Their promoting their online business card designer so the only caveat is that you must use their templates and cannot upload your own design or images. They have over 700 so you wouldn’t have any problem finding one that suits you. Essentially this offer is best utilized by those wanting business cards for personal use or businesses that…ahem…don’t have a professionally designed logo. (see our Signature Specials this month!)

Now you’re probably thinking these cards are printed on flimsy paper or will have the printer’s logo on the back, right? The answer is no. These are high quality business cards printed on premium card stock with no advertising printed on them at all. Just great quality and they’re absolutely free…including the shipping! Now if that’s not a deal, I don’t know what is!

There is absolutely no cost to you. You can choose from vertical or horizontal layouts and design your free business card online in a matter of seconds.

Of course, should this offer not tickle your fancy and you want a custom designed, made-for-you business card, then you might want to check out this month’s Signature Specials where we Double your Pleasure with professionally designed identity and marketing pieces. But hurry because these specials are only available until August 21st.

Freebie Friday: Online Learning & Free Chocolate

If you’re like me and have a need to constantly learn or update your skills, then check out the online HP Learning Center. The HP Learning Center provides free, online classes that are available 24/7.

laptop Wondering what kind of classes they provide? Everything from MS Office to Adobe to business basics to digital photography. I’ve been using the HP Learning Center for a couple of years now to keep up with technology and software and have never been disappointed. You’re able to learn at your own pace, at whatever time you like, and update your skills at the same time.

Check out their entire class listing HERE. Don’t see anything you like? I can’t really imagine there isn’t anything, but bookmark it and keep checking because their offerings change almost weekly.
