chossy made that up. 'freakworks' indeed, whoever heard of such a hingmy. He's still confused after getting beat down wi' all them sniper rifle shots to the skull last night. poor wee guy.

ha ha ha ha ha. Fantasy is definatly your strong suit josimarX
chubba if you are thinking of coming up here to work don't. Sorry to sound like a prick but Scotland has nothing to offer I really can't think of a single company up here that is not left treading water by it's London counterparts.

Not everyone...
- _smk0
true - the only ones I see are (probably) too small to take people on. I'm thinking ISO or Graphical House, but it's hard to think of anybody else.
Clients can be pretty safe and parochial up here too - but then maybe I'm just jaded...
It's not all doom and gloom though - the weathers great...
- chossy0
unfortunatly I dissagree, I think people here are talented, work extremely hard and can do a fantastic job, on the other hand the jobs that come here are worthless.
If you can give me an example of a cool company or an exciting job tell me quick cause I will probably die on the spot.

seriously mx. you've got that accent down. It's like I'm reading Irvine Welsh.
- chossy0
when I say cool company I mean a cool company that decides to take a job to Scotland I don't mean a cool Scottish company.
I also want to make it clear that I think Scottish companies are great but we just don't get the oppotunity to shine.

Jinksy fae Granton does a mean line in lino cut illustration circa '67. Apart from him, Chossy's right, we're all working for bummers who wouldnae ken (or care about) good design if it himgy'd them in the hingmy.

(Mar 1 05, 03:25)The two I mentioned are OK - fair enough not as stellar as some of the London agencies, but knocking out decent work - I think ISO are probably in London at least more than not now though...

http://www.graphicalhouse.com/I agree about us up here working really hard, being talented an all - it's like running against a brick wall sometimes trying to push anything in new directions.
I'm the same - find myself bashing out formulaic crap most of the time cos it's easier than getting good work knocked back to you all the time.
Moan moan moan ;)
