Article: Like wood, stainless steel has a grain, or a surface texture that runs in a particular direction. For appliances with a horizontal grain, wipe in straight motions from one side of the steel face to the other. For appliances with a vertical grain, wipe the steel face in long, fluid motions from top to bottom.  Avoid rubbing your cloth back and forth or up and down. Try to start all your wipes from one side and move straight across or down to the other. So, for example, if you start a wipe on the left side of an appliance, wipe all the way to the right, then bring your cloth back to the left to start your next wipe. This helps decrease streaks as you wipe.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The Greeting Card Association (GCA) has a listing of members that accept submissions from freelance artists. You will need to contact them first before sending in any samples or submissions. The contact information listed there is only for more information. Industry journals like Artists Market also list opportunities for freelance graphic designers who create greeting cards. Individual companies have specific guidelines for submitted artwork, including format, size, and medium. They will also have a specific address or person to send submissions to, which may be different than the person you contact for information. Make sure you are familiar with each company's guidelines before submitting something to them. Create cards that correspond only to what they ask for as far as genre and themes.  Make sure your submissions include your name and contact information. For artwork, be sure to include a copyright on your work as well. If you would like to have your work returned, include an appropriately sized, pre-addressed, stamped envelope for the editor to use. Some companies, especially those with a certain mission, are looking for specific types of card designs. These can be themes that the company promotes, or certain popular events that people like to purchase cards for. Stay on message. When designing, look at the type of cards they produce, and how those materials will affect the medium you are working with. When submitting, think about the type of company you are submitting to. Larger companies will have diverse demands, but you will face stiff competition. Smaller companies can have a tighter focus on what they want, but will be more likely to gain acceptance as long as you fit their niche. Some designers like to start with smaller companies to get some work accepted and create a reputation, building to the biggest buyers. If you get denied by one greeting card company, move on to the next one. This is a business, so you can't take criticism personally. Don't be afraid to make changes suggested by editorial staff or other feedback they give you. Each company treats its freelance workers differently, but in most cases cards are accepted on a flat fee basis. If you are proposing a line of cards, then you may be able to negotiate royalties, or an advance against future royalties.  If you are submitting text, the company will likely purchase your work outright for a flat fee (usually somewhere between $25 and $150). In general, jokes and other "punchline" work will command a higher price than poetry or verse. If you are submitting artwork, you will be able to license your work. This gives the company to reproduce your work for a limited period, and potentially in a limited market (depending on how you negotiate). You retain ownership of the work, and can license it to other companies as long as they don't conflict with your existing contracts. Flat fees for licensing can range from $275 to $500.

SUMMARY: Find companies who look for freelance designers. Get submission guidelines. Create samples that meet the company's guidelines. Keep trying, even when you face rejection. Negotiate payment.

College brings along all kinds of new challenges, especially in your first year. You may suddenly be very busy with classes, social activities, and studying. But, you will need to prioritize your significant other and make sure you give them an appropriate amount of time and attention.  Even though it's important to give your boyfriend or girlfriend your attention, it will need to be a balance. You are obviously in college because you want to succeed in school, so make sure you are giving the right amount of time to all of your academic responsibilities.  Sometimes, combining the priorities of school and a significant other can work, too—try having study dates, or doing homework together. Similarly to making your significant other a priority and making time for them, you need to make sure you make time for yourself. Taking time for yourself might seem like an easy thing to do, but you might find out it can be difficult! If you are having trouble making time for yourself, put it in your planner or on your calendar, and make sure not to schedule anything else during that time. If you go to the same school, or even take some of the same classes, the two of you might begin to feel a little overwhelmed from too much time together. Make sure to pencil some alone time into your schedule. Talk to each other honestly and openly. Do not harbor any secrets or grievances. These omissions can end up weakening your bond, especially when they finally come out.  Simply talking isn't necessarily good communication. Make sure you are really listening to your significant other rather than just waiting for your turn to speak.  An advantage of living near your boyfriend or girlfriend through college is that when you communicate with them, you can also read into their body language. For example, folded arms might indicate defensiveness, while a lack of making eye contact might signal disinterest or even shame.
