The obligatory @media slides preview post | June 14, 2006
I’m going to be speaking at @media this week on the subject of bugs and bug fixing. To whet your appetite, here are a couple of screenshots from my hastily put together slides.
Creative pitches are toxic | June 13, 2006
In a recent survey of design agencies, the BDI calculated that unpaid creative pitches cost UK agencies an average of £38,000 per year. This may sound reasonable for a large agency with plenty of resources, especially if they are going after large projects. However over half of the design agencies in the UK employ less than five people, and £38,000 is a lot of money for a small agency.
I’ve long held the belief that creative pitches are toxic, and unpaid creative pitches doubly so. This view is upheld by a number of professional design associations that actively ban their members from engaging in unpaid creative. Creative pitches are bad for the client, bad for the designer and bad for the industry as a whole, and I’m going to explain why.
