  • Minutes Matter Office Photos (The small office)




    Recently, I have had a couple of people request the photos of my office. I decided to post them here to share with everyone. Years ago we spent a couple of days contemplating the best way to lay out one of our offices to maximize the space. We have 9' ceilings which is great but this room is incredibly small. Below are a few things we did to make sure we used every inch to the max.
    • Mounted cabinets all the way up to the ceiling.
    • Added lots of custom cubby holes for easy access to paper, envelopes and vendor catalogs.
    • We added open bookshelves to store vendor binders and some of my favorite books.
    • Added large pull out keyboards to conserve floor space.
    • Added large pencil drawers.
    • Added several drawers for hanging file folders.
    • Left a large opening under desk to store printers. (Didn't want printers to take up valuable desktop space.)
    • Added cork board to wall behind desks.
    • Added wire magazine racks to store magazines.
    • Painted the wall to match the fabric of the window treatment; wanted the room to look as large as possible.
    • Mounted the window treatment to the ceiling.
    • For durability we used white Formica for the countertops.
    • Added track lighting which allows us to position light where needed. (However, these heat up the room; need to look into florescent blubs)
    • Mounted ceiling fan to keep the room cooler in summer.

    • Color calibration: it's emerald but it looks chartreuse on my monitor?!!
      by Merlyn

      As graphic designers we rely on our computer monitors - they are our "canvas" for designing. Buying the largest monitor you can afford, both money- and space-wise, makes your task easier and more enjoyable. The price of monitors has come way down in the last several years - a 23" screen is well under $200 now and can make such a difference in both your design time and comfort. Size matters, but so do clarity and color. Kim Komando, our favorite computer guru, has some great ti...

      Happy Valentine's Day!

      All of us a Minutes Matter would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! What special things do you do on Valentine's Day? Jerry and I are looking forward to seeing a play.

    • House Cleaning on the Forum Has Begun!
      by Debbie Green Sutherland

      We decided it was time to do some MAJOR house cleaning on our forum. We have deleted thousands of old and irrelevant threads/posts. We have also tried to simplify navigation in the forum. You'll notice, Studio only has two forums and QuickBooks has one forum. It is super easy to post a question in either forum, since both forums only have one area to post a question. The section for both forums is "General Questions."

      Both Studio & QuickBooks forums have a "Resources &...
