haha Kelpie. Kinda the deal with these online forums though right? In person I feel it might be a bit more 'Can you sign my sketchpad!?!'...online it's all about taking pot shots from the bushes.

Totally...I was surprised at how un-pretentious that whole thing was. Lots of fun. Good folks.

Nup, TommyO - that's even more so his opinion!
So.. Sinclair you're saying his opinion IS bullshit? Would you really want to do that?
As a member of CR, you should perhaps consider how you engage yourself here - you don't need to fire fight every last person's opinion, lest you begin to undermine your own credibility.
Just sayin' - I'm a CR fan, keep up the good work (blogside, too!)

oh man, thanks for that, this is more inspiring than the sound of 3 ex-tdr designers singing Good Vibrations in one's head...

Same here tommyo, you as with Mike, Josh, all the peeps we had good chats with are genuine people that I respect.
- tommyo0
Yeah Jesse, agreed.
btw, it was good to meet you man. The Rambler is bad ass. :)

Ignoring the hype/not hype factor....
That was a good issue albeit a little on the 'skinny' side (these past few issues have been lacking in the usual quantity OF quality, haven't they?) I really enjoyed seeing Place's process and thoughts, given that he's one designer i admire as well. So it seems like a very cool initiative from CR. Looking forward to more interesting 'collaborations' of the sort!

I think this was the bullshit Sinclair was talking about?
'Don't Believe His Hype
I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself, ever since that 'CIRCLE poster' tipped me over the edge I've felt compelled to alert people.'I don't care. I think Michael is a good guy and a thinking designer. Which is getting rarer and rarer.

People interpret things how they want to, sort of what we were talking about at the show.

Not to take sides, but where's the bullshit in this opinion..?
Nairn
(Sep 11 07, 07:51)1) He really counted?
2) He's inferring it's a Build-fest, which it wasn't.
That's all.

Doesn't come into it. Jesus, you post one fucking thing...

i quite like McP's work and CR.
I guess maybe its the over saturation of McP's work on CR in most cases but I think they are well deserved.

Creative Review this month focusses on BUILD - 75 name checks and counting...

hahahaha as opposed to your whining superiority complex?
- sinclair0
Well it bothered you enough to post. I'm just replying to someone who asked about the issue. And Josimar's opinion wasnt contested- his bullshit was.
- kelpie0
oh for fucks sake, the poster is entitled to their opinion, don't take it so personally, josimar's Build hatred runs deeper than your magazine issue mate...

Hey Tommyo, yeah it's a couple of issues back now (looks for the August issue). You can check out our first blog post about the idea of the issue here though:
http://www.creativereview.co.uk/…(note the rather antagonstic nature of the initial comments and then, further down, some responses from people who dont just shit on ideas as soon as they're suggested!)
There's more stuff on Build/A month in the life of project on the blog too...

I need to pick up this issue actually. Is it in the states yet? Hope I didn't miss it!!!
