Impressive Compilation of Candid Interviews with crowdSPRING Designers Offers Rare Insight into the Artist’s Backgrounds, Career Challenges and Blueprint for Success

CHICAGO, October 23, 2012 – A free downloadable e-book from crowdSPRING, the world's #1 marketplace for custom logo design, web design, a new company name or other writing and design services, shares a unique insight into the personal life of 50 crowdSPRING creatives, and their challenges, rewards and experiences with graphic design.

In the profiles, each of the designers answers 12 key questions about who they are, their backgrounds, their inspiration, what kind of work they admire and personal attributes that are instrumental to their success.  This unique e-book, offered free of charge, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the mind and viewpoint of designers throughout the world as varied as they are talented.

Among the dozen questions that crowdSPRING designers answer in their profile are:

• How did you start out as a designer?
• What great designs have you seen recently that you love?
• What’s the first thing you do when approaching a new design?
• When designing a logo, what are some of the biggest mistakes a designer can make?
•  What advice would you give a young designer just starting out?
• What do you do with your free time?
