Business Plan vs Business Model

Despite the similar names, a business plan and model are both completely different segments of a business's steps towards success. In simple terms, a business 'plan' is the planned future objectives and strategies that will lead to achieving said objectives set out in a document form. A business 'model' however, while still able to described as a plan, is more so one which plans out how exactly to succeed at each operation within that business, identifying important factors such as revenue sources, types of products, intended audience and/or customer base, and financing details. In one sentence, a business plan describes what the business wants to do and achieve, while the business model is done in order to specifically just describe how exactly they will do things order to be successful.

Headshots

Image
A 'headshot' is described online professionally as a "modern portrait in which the focus is on the person", often used by models and/or actors in portfolios or when applying directly for a job position in those fields. The photograph will be used and considered as a marketing tool for that person,   and as a result, should attempt to represent that person in one photograph, also standing out - but not for any bad reasons. In terms of what makes a 'good' and professional headshot, it is important that the lighting is good, directed on your face and isn't too bright or dark to not obscure any facial details - no strong dramatic shadows for example.

The site is the split into three short parts, displayed within a list on screen; these are labelled as 'Advertisements', '2D' and '3D'. While this makes it much easier for those looking through the portfolio to find exactly the type of graphic design they are searching for and decide whether or not the person behind the work is someone to consider quicker and easier, the list...
