All About Content Marketing at the Custom Media Day
The Custom Media Day event that I attended Wednesday, organized by the Custom Content Council was an event not to be missed by anyone interested in content marketing, content strategy, or digital publishing. Below are a few brief takeaways for those who could not attend.

But, surely there was graphic design before computers, software and all these gadgets? Wikipedia says that graphic design is a collaborative process between a client and a designer – in conjunction with producers of form (i.e., printers, programmers, sign makers, etc.) — to convey a specific message to a targeted audience. That doesn’t say a thing about Adobe, dual wide-screen monitors or fancy mouses!
