Twitter Link Roundup #105 – Small Business, Social Media, Design, Copywriting, Marketing And More Ross | October 7th, 2011
Every day on the crowdSPRING Twitter account and on my own Twitter account, I post links to posts or videos I enjoyed reading or viewing. These posts and videos are about logo design, web design, startups, entrepreneurship, small business, leadership, social media, marketing, and more! Here are some of the links that I’ve liked and shared this past week!
The image above was designed by 19 year old Hong Kong design student Jonathan Mak. Mak wanted to symbolize Jobs’ lingering presence at Apple, even though Jobs is no longer around.
