design is dead
- enfocusmedia0
Maybe they faded away with Helvetica...
- do you live inside a tupperware?Meeklo
- I guess you use Helvetica a lot...enfocusmedia
- elektromuzak0
what's the next font to fade like Helvetica? DIN? Frutiger? Avenir? or Meta?
- All have already fadedukit
- DIN is used on major TV stations in Australia. Meta is used by State Government.enfocusmedia
- So to me, DIN and Meta are 'faded'enfocusmedia

nothing seems fresh anymore when it comes to design. i feel as if i've seen it all. if anyone can shock me with something *amazing* please feel free.
- functionality is more important that 'shock value'. Save 'shock value' for 'art.enfocusmedia

still going............
infact they r in the process of rebuilding their site according to a mate of mine. {think every agency says that tho}
- elektromuzak0
yeah, every agency is never satisfied with their site, even if it's brand new... it's always under perma-construction. I suppose it could be a good thing if they are constantly trying to reinvent themselves for the better.

went to a talk by anderson a few years ago......full of shit.
- HAHA!Leigh
- no joke... he turned up pissed and his work was terrible!broxybluenose
- he is a bit fickle, true.
build on the other, great guy always nice.tank02 - Yeah, went to see Michael speak, he was really funny, self deprecating and came across as humble and very shy!ian
- actually couldn't believe how considering the volume and quality of the work, he was so nervous showing it!ian

i hate the fact that a web site is never finished (whichever), it will always have room for improvment, update or any litle twist....in the other hand a book, a magazine or any other piece of printed material its finished and.
- is a design ever really finished?tank02
- yes!broxybluenose
- yes, i think so. I might have different "models" of a design but that particular "model" will have a finished point. Websites not. its a constant design experience.valentim
- web sites not.valentim
- wrong. a ci also evolves in the time that it is used and the put the test.tank02

(DC 014 S) NEW SITE FOR THE DESIGNERS REPUBLIC SITE
http://thedigitalclub.net

Saw Ian Anderson do a D&AD talk a couple of years back - dunno if that's the same one you saw Broxy. He was so arrogant - slagging off D&AD, slagging off London, I guess he has a chip on his shoulder which has served him well so far though.
Simon Pyke's video was the best thing shown.
I remember he said it was as important to him when hiring - that the disigner would fit in with them down the pub aswell as in the studio.
- when I saw him, his basic understanding of how quicktime worked shocked mebroxybluenose
- Ian's a smart man, ive had crits with him. and beers. 2 of my friends work at DR. there not dead.crayz
- he's up himself...their shitebroxybluenose
- Bluejam0
they have a new creative director
- Benja820
the 123klan needs to do something new with their site too
- Ranger0
Maybe staying quiet and mysterious is the new shameless shouting about how great you are?
(Sagmeister take note)

Ian Anderson is my external assessor. he seems to spend most of his time getting wrecked with my tutor. and talking to us . i think he has lost faith .
