Campaign Monitor: clean, organized, smart, stylish. After viewing this, I don’t know why one would venture elsewhere for the same service. Good design, is good design—no mater what.

Another great choice for the FWA S.O.T.D. “The Box“.

Notable. One of my favourite websites from 2009.

The latest iteration of Nike’s Jumpman 23. An all-Flash masterpiece.

Today’s FWA Site of the Day. Big(ish) brands seem to be finally embracing the screen, and the true experience it can provide.

I came across this fellows work last night after watching a TED talk he did back in 2008 (or 2007). His work is unreal—if “pushing the envelope” applies to anyone within our field, I think Jonathan Harris is the one (or one of the ones). Take some time, and explore his work. “Universe” alone should resonate with anyone involved in our industry.

Vellum is a brand-new drawing app now available in the App Store. It’s currently a little shaky on my iPod Touch, but I’m sure an update is already in-the-works.
That Blackberry must feel like a brick in your hand.

It saddens me that we are often thought of as the most “expensive” studio when local clients send out an RFQ or an RFP. The funny thing is, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. That’s the thing with the typical “Ottawa” client —and yes, there is such a thing. I’m sure they exist in any city—but they seem to litter our local landscape, like discarded rubbish on the sidewalks.
Charlatans and rogues have hijacked our industry—those masquerading as qualified designers—nothing more than a recent college grad armed with a cracked Windows copy of Flash and Dreamweaver—that they lifted from a torrent.
These rogues will build your latest web venture, fully-integrated into Wordpress, for the bargain-basement price of $900. What a fucking deal—how could you pass that up? I’m done with even caring about these vultures and clowns—this will be my final rant about them. We end-up working with clients that have vision, understanding, and a respect for our craft (as we do with theirs). I’m sorry, but I don’t want to code your interior design business site for $500 (I’ve got 2 cats I’d rather pet instead, or sleep to catch-up on).
I’ll leave it at this: to those seeking the services of a design professional, go ahead, choose that lowest price.
Have a great time building your web presence twice.
