he got some nice work... but im not sure why some are so impress by it... his work is nice and clean, but if you take out all the BIG BRAND names off his work... will people still be as impress? its really nothing original in terms of concept... if im wrong.. can someone point out which work is outstanding? and why?
by the way, im not saying he has no talent, i do like his work. i just like to know what make his work so "inspirational" as people said...
thanks

i didnt go through all the work, but i wasnt terribly impressed on first skim...

I like the Huw Williams pieces a lot...the brand ID stuff too.

the thing is... it seem like now days... your impressive client list is more important then your work and talents....
if you have good work its just "good work".... if you have the same "good work" with a big name... its become a Amazing work... hmmm

ah, i just went through the whole body of work.
some top-notch print/identity work in there for sure.
web is less impressive imho.
still very very good, indeed.

yeah i saw that portfolio before and thought the same until I actually saw his work. Great stuff and very talented.

Do you know anyone who is doing similar type of corporate work, and doing it better? If so please link ..
btw. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass - I'm genuinely curious ..
- Solid0
.. and for the record I was talking about his corporate websites ..

thank you Mimio:
yes there is some nice work there. But if you look a Huw Williams work... its 90% the phtography.. if you know what i mean.

some of his web work looked templated but most are very clean and nice.

i like Arnaud's work:

i agree, there are few people doign work like he is, but i think the work is what makes it important, not the client.
as designers, i would think you all would FIRST look past the client, and look at the image that's being presented. there is some sharp work in there, not revolutionary, but very sharp, very clean, and very well refined.
refined, i think that is the word everyone is looking for here.

yes we all agree Dallyn's work is "nice and clean" but where is the work that is so inspiational and inpressive as Paul said? because i like to know.. im not putting his work down, i just want to know why and learn to be better also.
- Solid0
hmmmm ... I like Arnaud's work as well, but I would say they are operating at different scopes and scales (in terms of the web work) IMO

Not directly related here, but does anyone know if Sam Dallyn has any ties with Method?

his work is very "safe" and hmm most of them very arrr BMW... sorry for lack of better word.
if i have the same portfolio with the same work, and replace all the big name to some small company in china... will people still think is "insprational"
- warheros20
absolutely not!
DUH!

Also, I DO think the client has relevance in evaluation of this type of web work.
For example, designing the visual treatment for a huge global tech/r+d company like Fujitsu-Siemens IS noteworthy - not because FSC is a "big name", but because of the scope of work that is involved in a website of that size, as well as the corporate "inertia" a designer must overcome ..
I think you need to apply a different measure (of merit) to different scenarios/problems ..
- warheros20
i think you are right, solid, to some degree.
but the designer has to have that quality in his work already, i think, before he tackles a big name like fugitsu-siemens.
- setsolid0
this problem goes same with phtography... a photographer's skill sometime get rate by how many stars he/she took pic of...
but i seen some amazing photographers with amzing work and talent.. sans the big client.. are look almost as low rate talent less phtographers.
