Jonathan explains the importance of each of these design phases and demonstrates how to best fulfill and integrate them to address clients' needs.

Identity Development Through Marketing, Sales and Investor Relations Departments
From past experiences with clients, it is presumed that a strong brand image is made through the redundancy of logo, color and type placement. While corporate standards are needed so each person involved in corporate communications can carry the organization's image appropriately, it is more important that creativity is continually interjected into every part of an identity system. In this video, discover how to bring consistency, flexibility and authenticity to a full-scope identity campaign.

Sick, Lost, Broken Brands: Symptoms and Recovery
What do you currently do when your brand seems to be stagnant or unresponsive? Throw up your hands or do nothing? In this tutorial, Jonathan Gouthier will highlight problematic areas for brands and offer some advice with case studies of larger more prominent brands that can help you jump start your brand when it's feeling down.

Repeat & Align: Spacing Tips & Techniques in Photoshop
In this tutorial, Helen Bradley supplies tips for using the Repeat & Align tools in Photoshop. You'll discover quick ways of aligning images relative both to a grid and to one another as well as using the rotate and transform tools to make perfect patterns such as starbursts and spirals.

Be Competitive With A Computer Programming Degree

2008-09-11T19:08:00.000-07:00

There is more to computers that what meets the eye. Most people use their computers to surf the Internet, type up documents or create presentations. But in order for individuals to use these applications when the need arises, someone has to create and maintain the program. With new software coming out everyday and constant updates being made to existing programs, individuals with a computer programming degree are competitively sought after in the job market. This makes receiving a degree in this particular career field even more appealing to college students.

There are many different elements associated with a software engineer position, which is how the career is commonly referred. One of the aspects a student can explore once they receive a computer programming degree is program writing. The process of writing codes to create software programs requires knowledge in a wide range of subjects. These skills include math, problem solving and logic. It is very important to be well versed in subjects such as mathematics because a lot of programs and codes require algorithms to work. The more a computer programmer knows about math, the easier their job will be.

Once a software engineer writes and creates a program, the next phase that takes place is testing. Individuals who receive a computer programming degree are not only versed in how to create and write programs, but they are also taught how to test them as well. Testing is one of the most important steps in creating a new video game, computer game or computer application. Companies can lose thousands, if not millions of dollars if they put products on the market that do not work. That is why this step is so crucial. Computer programmers are required to check every aspect of the application in order to assure that everything is in working order.

Another process in computer programming is maintenance. It is important that an individual is given the task to maintain certain applications and programs. Even though a product is created and put on the market does not mean that it can be left alone. A product is never truly finished because updates are constantly required. A lot of times programs and applications have glitches or bugs in their system that need to be worked out. Of course products are tested, but a lot of times these glitches do not come out until the product is already on the market. An individual with a computer programming degree is taught how to maintain these programs and how to implement updates to improve them.

Individuals who graduate with a computer programming degree also have the opportunity to gain numerous certificates in their line of work. Certifications, such as becoming a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer are important to students entering the job market because employers are going to look for graduates who have experience in the field. There are many different types of certifications, from computer repair to system engineering. Individuals can also become Certified Ethical Hackers. This type of certification allows programmers to hack into the system they are working on in order to find flaws in the network in order to correct them.

The market for an individual with a computer programming degree has increased over the past few decades, mainly because of the high demand for computers and electronics. From computers and DVD players to cell phones and MP3 players, technology is one of the fastest growing industries, in the United States and around the World. New products and programs are constantly entering the market, so the need for computer programmers is larger than ever.

Therefore it is best if you choose to get your computer programming certification through an accredited school. Going online you will find a list of all schools that are accredited and can provide you with the course or courses that you require.

Secondly once you have found a school that you would be interested in attending you need to carry out some research in to the computer programming certification course they offer. Look closely at what kind of reputation the school has with regard to the qualifications and training it provides. Also look closely at the content of the curriculum, does it match what you are looking for. Also take a close look at just how many students they place into each class. The bigger the classes then the less chance of you being provided with the right kind of support you need.

ITIL V3: A Set of Best Practices for Managing Your IT Services

2008-09-03T15:55:00.000-07:00

Looking for ways to enhance customer service and cut waiting times for responses, ITIL V3 has emerged as a vital methodology for businesses looking to revamp their service processes. Boasting great success overseas and two revisions later, the ITIL framework, or Information Technology Infrastructure Library, now has U.S. companies eyeing the methodology and learning what it can do for them. In a nutshell, the framework helps regulate and monitor services that are provided to customers in addition to devising new ways to meet customers' needs. ITIL V3 is not a standard, but it is supported by a standard (ISO 20000) and a certification scheme from the International Standards Organization (ISO).

While in use for over two decades in Europe, however, the ITIL framework has only recently become popular in the U.S. Proponents of the framework believe that the methodology can bring much needed maturity to all information technology companies and businesses by meeting needs that may be going unrealized. In order to understand the necessity and comprehensive aspects of a business' service cycle that the ITIL framework covers, the background of the framework, as well as the usefulness of each of the ITIL V3 components, must be examined.

Background on the ITIL Framework

Developed in the 1980s by the United Kingdom's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) after realizing a lack of a methodical approach to the IT infrastructure, ITIL has since permeated Europe's business and service sector. The CCTA, now called the OGC (Office of Government Commerce), continues to work with ITIL by continuously enhancing it as well as creating new programs.

Recently, however, global companies have begun importing the useful framework into their businesses in the U.S. and have been pleased with the results and feedback. The ITIL framework, generally referred to as a set of best practices for managing information technology services, ensures that companies have a system for meeting or anticipating a customer's needs. The most recent revision of the methodology, ITIL V3, was released in June 2007 and has steadily grown in popularity with U.S. companies.

The Usefulness of the ITIL Cycle

The ITIL V3 cycle, fed by Business Value, consists of Service Strategy, which spurs Service Operation, Service Design, and Service Transition. Encompassing the cycle is the Continual Service Improvement element. Many U.S. businesses working with the ITIL framework now understand the usefulness of the framework and how it can help manage business solutions and keep track of customer service.

Service Strategy, sometimes referred to as the hub of ITIL V3, is used to establish a plan for providing customer service. From this point, three sets of processes work to turn these plans into action. Service Design develops and creates services to bolster the plan, and includes purchasing appropriate software or systems and tailoring them to the company's specific needs. When this new system of software is ready to use, Service Transition ensures that it is implemented correctly by performing control checks or tests. Service Operation processes requests from a company's customer base and addresses failures in the system. The largest part of ITIL is Continual Service Improvement, which is the process that constantly monitors and regulates services in addition to making improvements if needed.

ITIL Certification

Many IT companies are now sending eager learners to study the ITIL framework so that the methodology can be incorporated into their systems. Effective management of a customer base is something both small and large companies are always searching for, and many will find it useful to train a select staff in the specifics of ITIL V3. Students of the ITIL framework now receive a certification based on their level of learning and knowledge.

The most basic certification, Foundation, demonstrates that an individual has a fundamental understanding of the principles and terminology of the methodology. Foundation must be achieved before higher certifications can be acquired. Practitioner certification comes in different levels depending upon the ITIL V3 processes that an individual uses. This level denotes a high level of knowledge in one part of ITIL. Expert (formerly called Manager) indicates the highest level of certification achievable and demonstrates a concentrated and comprehensive discernment of the framework.

The Best Way to Manage Your IT Services

The ITIL framework offers businesses one of the fastest turnaround times for responses. The methodology after all was designed with customer service in mind. ITIL V3 is a smart system for businesses because it separates issues, examining each process closely, leaving results that are measured and setting improvement targets to guide the way. Due to the nature of the ITIL framework, it is not meant only for large, global corporations, but smaller businesses that might be using older systems.

The latest revision of the software, ITIL V3, and its predecessors are commonly referred to as a set of best practices for managing information technology services. If you need an efficient way to manage your customer service base and cut response time in half, perhaps the ITIL framework can impact your company much as it's done for many other U.S. businesses in recent years - by revolutionizing the way that companies interact with customers on a more personal level.

IT Comp TIA Certification: For Those Who Network and Those Who Secure

2008-09-03T09:23:00.000-07:00

In terms of job options to select from and career avenues to follow, of all the fields out there to pursue it is certain that within the IT working world not only are a slew of selections available, but a handful of opportunity is also provided. Experience a side, no matter if you're extremely well-versed in computer and/or information technologies, or are, on the other hand, out of the loop with the computing world - yet enthusiastically willing to learn - there's an IT spot for you. And of the many choices available there is one that seems to be a shining choice, offering both promising results and lucrative outcomes. This IT option is that of Comp TIA, specifically Comp TIA Network+ and Comp TIA Security+.
Comp TIA Network+ and Security+ - Both Are Fine Choices

So, whether you're looking to get into networking or security operations, the Comp TIA realm of the IT working world can undoubtedly prove to be a beneficial pursuit to better your current work proficiency (as well as status) or even sturdily start you out as an IT certified professional. And it's clear that being certified in the IT world is essential to making the most money, gaining the highest level of respect and attaining career-improving promotions. Overall, gaining certifications in either of the Comp TIAs will be a great asset and accomplishment to have; this is so simply because both the networking and security work forces are constantly evolving and rapidly expanding, and as such, are continually requesting for a larger and much more adept workforce.

But, I'm sure you want to know just exactly what both the Comp TIA Network+ and Security+ certifications are all about first, right? Of course you do.

So, What Is This Comp TIA Network+ Certification?

As a vendor-neutral certification you'll know that you have options in selecting which vendors to work for and under, such as Microsoft and Cisco. Now, what you'll gain from such a certification is more or less a stamp of credibility to your specific title. In this case, you will gain competency in network administration and overall support. So, what does this confirm about you once you've completed the certification? Well, a few things. Of the knowledge gained you will confirm to current and/or prospective employers that, as a technician, you have the aptitude of media and topologies, standards and protocols as well as network implementation and general network support.

Through the examination process, you will also gain such knowledge as all-purpose security, how to keep safety in mind as well as how to communicate well, in a professional and proper manner.

And, What of This Comp TIA Security+ Certification?

Again, being a vendor-neutral certification, you'll have options. In terms of what you'll gain here, expect to know everything about IT security. Through gaining this certification you will validate, from your technician stance, that you are fully knowledgeable of communication security, infrastructure security, operational security, cryptography and all other rudimentary and general security concepts.

Why is this a worthwhile certification to pursue? Due to the simple fact that most security breaches are caused by the lack of a refined security knowledge and overall human error, having a Comp TIA Security+ certification is comfort to the working IT community's ears. This is so simply because this certification proves that you have competency and credentials with IT security, and hopefully (â€œcancelingâ€ out human error) the knack to stop an infrastructure break in way before it's even attempted.

About the Author

With the above knowledge, all you have to do now is decide and research which Comp TIA Certification is best suited or most interesting to you. So, what are you waiting for, an IT invitation? Get to it.

CCNP - Cisco Boot Camp

2008-02-05T12:35:00.000-08:00

CCNP Boot Camp Certification by smita mathur

Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) is an intermediate level certification for IT professionals who can install, configure and troubleshoot local and wide area network for enterprise organizations. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network.

The CCNP is considered proof of having the ability to work with medium-sized networks (between 100 and 500 end devices) and with technology such as QoS, broadband, VPNs, and security-minded features. To acquire a CCNP, one must pass four tests, and either re-certify or upgrade to a CCIE every three years. The CCNA is a pre-requisite for CCNP, but CCIE does not have any pre-requisites.

To give yourself the best shot at passing the CCNP Certification exams you'll need to get your hands on some actual hardware to practice on, and if you can't do that then at the very least get yourself a good simulator to work. The CCNP certification track is not one where you can brain dump your way into a job.

The Benefits Upon the completion of our CCNP course, students will have the ability to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot *Complex routed LAN, *Routed WAN *Switched LAN networks *Dial Access Services.

Pre-requisites Candidate must be CCNA certified. If you are not a CCNA, you can take a CCNA+CCNP boot camp. The boot camp is designed for I.T. Professionals with a minimum of one year networking experience, supporting a TCP/IP network. Prior exposure to ISP networks and WAN network implementations can be an added advantage. Take the pre-assessment test in our member zone to find out if this class is fit for you.
