  Pretty interesting and fairly different, but all a bit too messy for my personal taste

  Great work, but yes do think its too messy, if the background color for the links was removed it would look cleaner.

  You'll always get some harsh comments here Rob, but the work is better than most of the stuff posted here.

  • agreed!– moamoa1/4

    I agree wholeheartedly but I don't see any "harsh" comments in this thread...?– Dancer2/4

    well moamoa said that brockmann would be turning in his grave, and I agreed it was bad– set3/4

    so I guess thats what I was referring to although you are right its not been that bad– set4/4

  Whilst I can certainly appreciate that the work is very good and he has worked for some top studios.

  I can't help but feel that I have seen it all before

  Just my personal opinion

  Out of interest Dancer, what have you seen lately that you thought seemed completely brand new?

  Whilst I agree there is not a lot of completely original stuff out there my point was that I have seen a lot of work that uses chunky type, solid BG colours on type only, avant garde, blah blah....
  I can only pick through some of my old posts but I think some of these designers and studios are doing exciting stuff:
  http://www.alextrochut.com/
  http://letters-numbers.com/
  http://www.thesilentlistener.com…
  http://www.kerrnoble.com/ (no site though)
  http://www.togetherdesign.co.uk/…
  http://www.radfordwallis.com/

  I am sure there are others but time is of the essence :)

  • I take it you disagree Neue?– Dancer1/3

    no I don't disagree but technically a lot of these have found their inspiration from the past, in essence, it's been done..– neue75_bold2/3

    done before..– neue75_bold3/3

  THis guy has an original take on things as well:

  • agree but it's all pretty much technology-based and fairly academic, pretty hard to bring that into the commercial realm– neue75_bold

  I think its very easy to criticize peoples work, but I'll quite happily say I'm not in the same ball park as alex t - He's amazing, hats off to him.

  • I am not saying your work is bad Rob – far from it – just making an observation– Dancer

  I love the FiveUS FiveLive Stuff - really nice. I dont post much on here but you guys love to pick on the negative and then... just. keep. ranting.

  • I assume that is targeted at me. Since when am I ranting? – we are discussing... and I am far from being negative, merely making an observation– Dancer1/2

  Puss, picking out the negatives in a design is a more constructive thing to do, isnt it?

  • I think so too– moamoa1/2

    yeah its right, but then maybe add a comment that could improve on the negative?– FallowDeer2/2

• moamoa

  I do it like this..

  when I say I don´t like it, it means that the design or whatever is not my taste, doesn´t mean its not good.

  when I say its shit, like an extended arial bold logo, its is shit and not a taste thing.

  Yes. I agree. Being constructive is a good thing. But I find that people on this site fail to see the positives more often than not.
  And often the people who have nothing nice to say, have nothing nice to show...

  • So who are you referring to then Puss as it cannot be me...– Dancer

  Rob, et al...
  know what artist does the song on this? http://www.robmillington.co.uk/p…

  • Hey, its from a Quanitc album. Album 'An Announcement To Answer' - 2nd song in. Love Quanitc. Sadly Five had to commission some music that, for me, wasn't as good. Wicked track though :)– RobM

  Its funny that a lot of the work says "Part of the Team that ..."

  The 'Tea Boy' is "Part of the Team"

  If I was looking at a portfolio site id like to see an explaination of what role was played by the person
