Rockstar Freelancer (cuz I’m a freelancer who moonlights as a rockstar on holidays) & Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong (cuz SitePoint books are AMAZING!) Reading is fundamental. Two eBooks would be fantastic!

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris rhoncus lacus et quam. Sed in purus. Etiam neque purus, pulvinar a, pulvinar eget, pellentesque id, nulla. Donec non erat. Proin hendrerit fringilla velit. Cras blandit. Etiam ipsum enim, lobortis sit amet, malesuada ut, laoreet id, nulla.

Thanks for the books!

“Everything you know about CSS is Wrong” and “The Principles Of Successful Freelancing”. The only reason being that I am a CSS/XHTML coder and a Freelancer.

Cheers!

Next year i’m going to start the education “Communication & Multimedia Design”. My goal is to make a living out of designing and starting my own company here in the Netherlands. Currently there are no design studios in and surrouding the place where i live. So to achieve this all it would be nice to have some books to help me in my journey.

I would like any book related to designing, but if i really have to choose two they would be: “Fuel for Design” & “The Principles of Beautiful Web Design”

Thanks in advance

@Joeys -
Communication & Multimedia Design is a great and very useful education, i am doing the same education right now.

greetz

I would choose ‘The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential’ and ‘The Principles Of Successful Freelancing’. I’m slowly moving towards working for myself, and these books could give me practical tips and things to look out for.

Cewl! ^

Because i want to be a rockstar designer and i love Collins’ books!

I would pick “The Principles Of Successful Freelancing” or “The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential”. Currently stuck in my job, I want to spread my wings and fly, so I would gladly learn some tips and tricks from freelancer gurus. Idea and business model are there but it’s always good to have best practices and analysis from people who know what they are talking about!

In addition to that, if I win the ebook, duh! That would be the first time ever I win freebies. Let’s make it happen

I would like

1.)The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques
2.)The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

Hmmm… which to choose…
1. Rockstar Freelancer, because I got made redundant in January and have gone freelancing again.
2. The Unlimited Freelancer, pretty much for the same reason and you can’t have too much info.

Great offer. Thanks, even if I don’t win ;o)

“Rockstar Freelancer” why? because looking to start freelancing and this book would be great read n help.

“Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists” why? Because a checklist will help in minimizing the margin for error and delivering my clients a First Class Web Site.

“How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” & “The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks, 2nd Edition” I am new to wordpress and would like to get better and learn more about Php so I can learn how to modified wordpress and give something back to the commuity.

# Fuel for Art: My thirst for learning more about graphics and art and new ideas (that I mainly lack) brings me to choose this book.
# WordPress eBook: Success with WordPress, recently started a wordpress blog, which is finally off with 2 posts and around 1200 downloads of a project i made…so would be better if I know how to get more exposure.

Thanks

Hello! I am a 14 year old HS student, planning on becoming a graphic designer. I have access to alot of Adobe applications, but Fuel for Design and The Photoshop Anthology would be the best thing anyone could give me! i do not have many resources available, and whenever i get hired people take advantage of me and my abilities with photoshop. With these e books you could make me succesful and help me start a career with graphic design!

Thanks for your time!

Sincerely Finnian M

Hi! I’d like “The Principles of Successful Freelancing” and “How to be a ROCKSTAR Wordpress Designer”.
I read the free sample of the principles of successful freelancing and I found it to be very interesting. As I’m beginning to freelance it would be of great help. I already own Collis Ta’eed book on freelancing and I’m putting his advice to work.
As for the ROCKSTAR Wordpress Designer book, the fact that Collis wrote it is a guarantee for it to be an excellent book!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Rockstar Freelancer and Principles of Beautiful Design will make me bad designer than the worst one who I am right now

Afterall I’m a freelancer wannabe and I suck at CSS. I mean.. I really have to learn something from them

“The unlimited freelancer”, because everyone wants to start his own business and “The Photoshop Anthology” because it seems to be a very useful reference book

Fuel for Art

ckeong

Damn, that’s one hell of a nice list! I would like “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” or “Fuel for Design”. I saw a few articals about these e-books and they seem very promising. Man, I really hope one of them is coming my way…

Keep up the great work!

“Rockstar freelancer” & “The principles of Successful Freelancing”

Because I am attempting to move into free lancing this year, and some advice and professional tips would help greatly.

“Rockstar Freelancer” and “Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists”. Because we are outsourcing from Brazil and we have no good bibliographies here.

How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer
i am a webdesigner and would love to get in the WP design and layouts

tanks !

I would like to win “Fuel for Art” & “Fuel for Design” because currently learning art at art school hope i can master art with as many resource as i can get

Rock Star (WP) is my choice

“Fuel for Design” and “Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!”. Why? the first one because my girl is just starting a clothing line ^___^ The second one because I know EVERYTHING about CSS, so I’m curious to know what is wrong with my knowledge … ^_^ Thanx

“How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” and “Rockstar Freelancer.” Why? because i’m just starting out and wordpress and the ebooks look great.

Hello,
I want “Fuel for Art” and “Fuel for Design” just because I love the Web Design, and those books will help me to improve my skills.
10x.

I really wanted to get “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” and “Fuel for Design” because I really love design but I don’t have basic in design theory and want to make a web studio those give free WordPress templates

Hey there,

I would like “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” and “Build Your own AJAX Web Applications” because these books would help me on my career path.

In my humble opinion I am a moderately talented artist, but very untalented businessman. I think Rockstar Freelancer and Fuel for Art might be just the kickstart I need, market-wise.

Thanks for considering me,
Clox

“How to start a clothing line” and “How to sell art online” would be perfect for me, because I realy want to make a living by designing, but i’m having difficulties finding a job… Therefor, I thought that starting on my own would be a good idea, but although I have the design related “know-how”, I lack when it comes to marketing. These books would realy help me get started. Thanks!

thanks a lot

Fuel for Art and Fuel for Design..
Why? because i’m not certificated designer. It’s hard to find a design school in my country, in order to pursuit my dream to be a designer, i need every book that I can get for free..

I would like to win 2 ebooks to end world hunger.

These 2 are the books I’d be really glad if I could get:
1) How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer
2) WordPress eBook: Success with WordPress

why lie, these are two reasons why I want and need to get these two books, first is that I need to start getting into wordpressing and bloggin hopefully to make some money, seconodly because I don’t have whole lot to spend, it’d be a great chance for me to get them free, I know photoshop and basic html stuff, so maybe this will be a chance for me to further into freelancing (my alltime wish forever)

“How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” and “Simply Rails2″ I want these books to further my understanding coding and building web applications.

Hopefully this is a real give-away.

The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential and The Principles Of Successful Freelancing. becoz.. my freelancing style could be good could be worst.. i need a right benchmark and a good references like this book i never heard in my country:)

Fuel for Design & How to be a Rockstar Wordpress Designer, cause I want these desperately and dont have money to buy them.

The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques
How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer
To better my skills so that i may be able to pimp out my blog.

I’ve bought & read the “Rockstar Freelancer” book last summer and really enjoyed it. Even the layout and typography in the book made it a pleasure to read. So I would love to have a chance to read their new one “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer”. Also, I love the Site Point books. Their written by some great authors who really know what they are talking about. It would be a tough choice to pick, but for my second choice I would have to go with “Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL”. The description of the book looks great on the site point webpage. Now why would I want these books? Well for a Multimedia Production student who off on an unpaid work placement right now… I could always use the leg-up, so to say, to assist in creating and learning from. This would benefit me to learn from and to make better products for clients at my placement.

I WOULD LIKE TO WIN THESE BOOKS BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH WHEN IT COME TO LEARNING

* Rockstar Freelancer
* The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques

and

Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL

because I’m worth it !

“How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” and “Fuel for Design” I could need them

I’d love “Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!” and “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer” because I’m a young designer learning the ropes and these ebooks would be extremely helpful for me.

I don’t think I can win this. But I really want the books… Im not really a pro graphic designer but I’m desperate to be one. I’m currently working as a designer in an advertising company. And sometimes they want me to do a job that is difficult for me due to lack of knowledge. And I am also working free lance as a sideline for my savings, for my daughter’s education. I love learning, and designing is my passion…

As a beginner at freelancing I’ll definitely need these two:
Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists
The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential

what’s this? just give me 2 books : ] I can’t afford them otherwise, I like the CSS wrong one and the rockstar freelancer sounds ok too.

How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer will be great to improve my skills on Wordpress design world and Fuel for Design its one of the books that I was planning to buy

• The Art & Science of JavaScript
• The Principles Of Successful Freelancing

Would be great to have these two…I was really looking for this kind of stuff….omg I need a JAVA book … pick my comment plox !

- The Principles of Beautiful Web Design
- The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques

Because my boss doesn’t want to buy it :\

The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques would be what I’d like to have

I’d love “Fuel For Design” and “The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential” because I am being laid off this week and want to learn how to launch myself into a less predictable world of freelance design.

Oops… change “Fuel for Design” to “Build Your Own AJAX Web Applications”.

me wanna!

This is a very sad moment for me, as I almost wanted to cry because I could only choose 2 out of the 7 books that I really need, if not maybe all of them that I would seriously like to have. Seriously 7, so I can improve my skills in photoshop, beautiful websites, php and mysql etc..I know there are tutorials online but some reason those ebook titles caught my attention.

I have been doing website design for some time now but frankly my planning is very poor, I have no structure at all which takes me a very long to do a website lol. I am very passionate about website design/development and see myself as a long term or life. I am trying to start a business(freelancer) in website design. At the moment, I’m going through a long process in trying to write up my content for my portfolio lol. If only I paid more attention in my English class, cause it’s hard enough for someone to hire me because my English is not meeting the requirements, so please learn and don’t make the same mistake as I did. Now, I started learning php and mysql. I put my whole heart into it which taken me months to even to do a basic dynamic web page. I love learning and will continue to get better and better.

Sorry for the long story. Ok, I’ve come to my conclusion and gave this a long thought on these 2 books which I believe will benefit me in the long run.

May I please have “The Principles Of Successful Freelancing” and “Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists”

As a freelancer I would like to have ‘How to be a Rockstar wordpress designer’ and ‘Rockstar Freelancer’. Since I’ve started to wordpress sites I guess the first book will give me a good guidance to do it in proper way. The second book would help me in my freelancing I believe. Thank you for such a great giveaway.

Hi, I’m a graphic design student from Brazil. My graduation area is just beginning and is not yet fully established, so there are professors from other areas, such as engeneering (don’t ask me why) and architecture for example. They are ok, but not great, teaching us about a theory they never saw in practice leading us to pursue our own education, which is kinda good but not ideal since we should have design professors to help with atleast half of that. I really think that “Fuel for Art” and “Fuel for Design” would do wonders to jumpstart my designing ‘eye’. Thanks for reading.
Ps. I don’t think your site is stupid as the guy from PSTuts said, it’s cool man!

Thanks for the oppertunity to win some new knowlege

I would love ‘How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer’ and ‘Simply Rails 2′ I design wordpress sites (infact iv got textmate open in the background) and would love some new ideas. The rockstar freelance book was great and I loved the writing style.

I have played around with rails a bit and a book would really help, I need some motivation.

Thanks again

Odin

“Rockstar Freelancer” and “Fuel for Design”, it’s because i’m felling so newbie when comes to the world of design, i also lived where internet is expensive thing to own at my house, if it’s free i’ll be in line. in order to jump out my ideas and motivations

I’d like The Unlimited Freelancer: Unleash Your True Business Potential, and Rockstar Freelancer…

Why? I left my job a couple of months due to a family illness and I needed to stay home to watch my 4 children… I’m taking on the role as freelancer, and sending as many job requests as I can find with little to know luck… So I assume I’m doing somethings wrong and these e-books would probably help a lot. Thanks!

“The Principles Of Successful Freelancing” and “Deliver First Class Web Sites: 101 Essential Checklists” because I lost my previus job and I wanna start my freelancer carrer and improve the ways that I use to delivery websites.

Rockstar Freelancer. Hopefully this book will provide me with valuable insight on the ins and outs of the freelance business.

Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL and The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks, 2nd Edition would be great. I just starterd with PHP.

Fuel for Art

Why? – I am looking to gain knowledge and understand the realm of freelance. I have heard that The Unlimited Freelancer is a great resource and I feel that this would be tremendously helpful!

It would be wonderful to have “Principles of Beautiful Web Design” and “The Photoshop Anthology” as tools in my journey of self-taught web design.
