2012 so far... May 22, 12, 8:58 a.m.

I thought it would be an amazing year, but it has been pretty shit so far...

I mean, not a catastrophe. But I haven't seen any aliens or a global spiritual shift yet.

On the other hands budgets are being cut and the economy is on one of it's lowest points.

I'm trying to keep positive though nevertheless.

WEB DESIGN BECAME May 21, 12, 3:22 a.m.

Stale, Humorless and more than anything BORING.

I call for a revolution before Mobile App completely kill the Internet Stars!

Sorry for the lame rant, it's Monday morning and I realize all the projects I am working on look the fucking same!!!!

Even if I present 10 different concepts it always makes same to go for the same very usable boring stuff

:(

Gay man executed in Iran May 16, 12, 9:32 a.m.

the same week Obama endorses Gay Marriage...

Is it me or does this look like a complete staged sequence of events?

Like give me a break. When did we ever hear or get such good pictures about this??
Now all of a sudden when Iran is about to be invaded we all hate them.

Every small to medium site is built on Wordpress or Tumblr these days May 16, 12, 9:27 a.m.

Does it justify to build a custom CMS anymore?
I know Tumblr itself is a website and so it is Facebook and Linkedin and Pinterest... but for any site with a budget of under $100K is there any real point in creating a custom CMS?

I don't think so anymore...

Magento vs Shopify May 1, 12, 5:16 a.m.

Any thoughts? Is Magento still the same nightmare?

I have used Shopify before and found it amazing. Just looking at alternatives for a new project.

How many female active members in QBN? Apr 13, 12, 9:23 a.m.

Honestly...

HTML5 JS/Animation/Game libraries Mar 21, 12, 9:19 a.m.

Noticed there are so many good frameworks/ libraries for developing richer JS elements now... is there a new standard though?

Dealing with a Headhunter Feb 10, 12, 11:05 a.m.

Quite probably getting a full time job through a headhunter... the job's pretty much been offered to me and I just have to go for a final meeting with my new employer.

Although I have an idea of the salary, I still have to negotiate the very last details.

What's the best time to do that and who with?
Anybody out there that's been through it?

Is the headhunter pushing for my side or the client's?
Just want to make sure I play it cool to get the most out of it, and also that I make it sound like I know what I am doing and asking for stuff at the right time.

Previously I left salary till the very last minute, making sure I left the best impression of myself and showed how much I'm worth to hit them right at the very end!

Working on the client side Jan 30, 12, 3:06 a.m.

Did anybody experience moving from Agency side / Freelancing to a full time job client side?

Had a great offer and wonder whether it could be a good step or suicide.

On the positive side I see:
- Security & monthly cash coming in
- The salary is best than most agencies can offer if not double
- high position within the company
- scale of projects would be BIG and with big budgets, i.e. working with the best creatives and best agencies
- great for cv even if I can't take it no more after 2 years

On the downside:
- loosing freedom
- reporting to vice-presidents, presidents,and a whole lot of people probably
- working with one brand only
- dealing with company politics which is something that as a freelancer you don't have to worry much about

.... The list goes on both for positive and negative points...

Thoughts? Has anybody done it?

Colour Calibration Jan 24, 12, 5:59 a.m.

Any recommendations?
My setup is a Macbook Pro with a Dell Ultrasharp...

I really don't know much about colour calibration but it seems pretty clear to me that I should get into it... :/

Looking at these at the moment.

How much does a Headhunter make per placement Jan 20, 12, 6:49 a.m.

Say if they get you a job for U$S 120K... how much do you think they'd be making for that?

Also, do they get more the higher your salary?

"Associate" Creative Director Jan 19, 12, 7:14 a.m.

What does 'associate' stand for in this case?
I really don't get it... I used to think that the person somehow owned a part of the company by being an associate, but it looks like that might not really be what it stands for, right?
