Question about socks Jan 10, 12, 5:45 p.m.

I have been looking at getting some Happy Socks™ but at $12 a pop they are kind of expensive.

Anyone have any other stripey options?

What happened to showreels? Dec 21, 11, 4:46 p.m.

Back when I was studying in the late 90s early 00's it seemed like a new and inspiring showreel would come out every week, lots of aphex twin esque disjointed sound tracks and nicely timed video.

Im talking super fad, mk12, brand new school etc as well as student reels.

Any one seen any good ones lately?

One of my clients has just read Steve Jobs biography and now wants to take an uncompromising approach to all of his design work.

Problem is hes a retard, thanks Steve!

Content before Design Aug 18, 11, 11:45 p.m.

Surely its logical to work out what you want to say before you start on the design?

Why then does every one look at me like I just dropped my guts when I ask that we write the content before I do the design?

scroll triggered animation Jul 19, 11, 1:30 a.m.

I have searched and searched and I can't find a demostration of how this horizontal scrolling works. I have noticed a few sites using it, some nicer than others.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Clients demanding to be on your website Jul 8, 11, 12:08 a.m.

We have a few clients that are pissed off that they are not on our website.

Jquery masked backgrounds? May 19, 11, 8:01 p.m.

I was rather hoping someone might be able to point me towards some more info on how the below site background effect is done.

I have read the code and it makes sense but a tutorial or simpler example would be very helpful.

Cheers!

concept vs client version May 1, 11, 7:56 a.m.

I'm updating my folio and there are a few jobs where the client kind of ruined the design at the last minute with changes.

When it comes to adding work to your folio is it wrong to upload the version right before the client added 2c?

They look pretty much the same, the client just insisted on a dodgy photo or made a logo too big...

I'm a Dad... again! Mar 9, 11, 1:16 a.m.

Ok so I am already a dad but my boy arrived half way through a yoga class last night.

Little dude, hes called Ari. Forgot how cool this is.

Sorry O S F A, I did a great pitch for "Diego", but the wife wouldn't have it ;)

Ok so I could have worded that better.

My mate is in hospital and he cant drink beer (meds) and doesnt like chocolate or sweet things. What do blokes get blokes when they are ill?

Serious question, thanks.

Apology letter font Oct 12, 10, 5:42 a.m.

This is a serious question so if you are going to take the piss, please don't derail the whole thread.

I am currently writing an apology letter to a fellow designer for speaking out of turn. I cant think of what font to use, and they WILL look at the font.

Helvetica seems too could, DIN would look insincere, Arial would look like a just farted it out, a serif like Centennial might look like I'm taking the piss?

Anyone have any recommendations?

Home Builder Brands Sep 16, 10, 4 a.m.

I'm hoping some people on here have noticed some home builders with nice branding along their travels as I can find one builder here in Australia with decent branding.

I'm starting my research for a new home builder here and all I'm finding is crap.

Please help.
