robotron3k - I haven't been on QBN for years, catch me up. Is this your schtick now? This is how they let you act? They actually tolerate your bullshit around here?
- fate, you seem to have had artificially high expectations returning to this design site & all u see is pics of naked middle age woman designer looking for work.robotron3k
- Yes that's his schtick. And yes we do give him shit. If you pretend robo is not here, Qbn is quite worth the while.pango
- Tell fate about my plugin yo!robotron3k

I'm calling bullshit on the 2 retards fate and noneck.
They just stroking the fake flames of drama here and it's total bullshit.
I read most of the thread again and there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
COTD is more misogynistic, but men and women visit and appreciate that thread. Where is your anger over that you Social Justice Whores??
Fuck off with trying to create division here, this place is a little piece of heaven.
- it's not only COTD it's everywhere. design stuff, pop culture, politics. people belittling each other and 3rd parties all the time, everywhere.shoes
- 'trying to create division here' ... says the guy who spends his days trolling the Politics and Trumps threads.Continuity
- Bull Shit Cont. If you think I see division, you haven't been paying attention. I may post on Trump, but I post more in other threads, I contribute no doubt.robotron3k
- But I definitely don't around pooping on people who are pooping on people. Fate and noneck are just ignant hypocrites.robotron3k
- The "Downvote" need to include our names so we can all see the pussy list.robotron3k
- Nahhh this thread was divided before fate and noneck showed up.
So... Can't really blame them.pango

"eww now you're moving into the redneck category pretty fast, go back and read more of this thread and I hope u will see why you're dead wrong. can't decide when to keep the rules and when to break it can you help me out?
or should i just write below my 6x transformed shitty logo:intentionally garbage"-sted
Sted, seriously, if you want us to catch you up on current design trends, we can all pitch in and bring you up to speed.
I'm sure other people on QBN will help you and post links to designers you can study. We can give you a crash course.
- Sober up. I have work to do and it won't wait because of your drunk nostalgia.sted
- I can't wait to see the rants you'll write when you discover David Rudnickfate
- As designers, we should find ways to engage the audience in our work so that they see themselves as the main characters,sted
- so that they have an opportunity to relive their own dreams and get inspired by them.sted
- this quote is from David Rudnick.sted
- Does Scala Sans allow people to relive their own dreams and get inspired? Just asking...fate
- If your dream is to land a high-profile client, and all you have to do is to use your skills (what includes writing with the brand's typeface) yeah it does.sted
- And personally I don't think that Scala inspired anything great in todays designs.sted
- "And personally I don't think that Scala inspired anything great in todays designs"
Yes, that's my point.fate

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that she's probably on to something, the way the industry is moving.
"Influencers" really do seem to be the hot ticket for brands these days. I was just at an event where 2000+ people paid a not small admission to meet a pretty niche youtube personality. I don't GET it. But they're trading money to be in this person's club IRL. It's a phenomenon for certain, even if it doesn't make sense to me. This person has a team of ~30 behind them just to produce enough content to feed the beast. In fact most youtubers of note have multiple people working for them. Basically a design studio to handle their content production.
So, if she's trying to become the "design influencer" so that brands will come to work with her for her audience, rather than just her design talents, then all this imagery can basically act like clickbaity thumbnails, which follow a pretty predictable format: show the star in every post. Bright colours to grab attention. Emotive facial expressions. When all else fails: mild nudity.
Warhol had the whole celebrity to sell art thing worked out. Maybe this is just the next iteration of that strategy. And maybe it seems a bit clumsy as a stodgy ad agency pitch, but from the perspective of a media personality, I'm not sure if there's a whole lot of competition to be the loud proud and truly outrageous voice of design for the female millenial set.
Kudos to her for thinking outside the box.
- It's a great business model. If they experience a bit of a downturn, she can just flash her cooch and voila...BusterBoy

- kinda 5 year late for that
it looks like the juvenile overdone version of it what doesn't creates anything original just the hdr versions of the mad man era adssted - *mad men :)sted

Ya'll really needed 20 notes ragging on this?
This is fucking fun and cool and exactly the type of stuff we used to love when Newstoday first started. Charli XCX just the same kind of thing for her new album cover.
Some of you are starting to sound like boring old farts that are more concerned with being professionals and keeping your heads down than taking chances.

Sted look, it's a little sad you thought you needed to take the time and educate Jessica Walsh (or us) on the "damage" she was doing to her own.fucking.brand.
1) It's her brand, it's her logo, she can do whatever the fuck she wants. If you had even bothered to look at &Walsh's Instagram, you'd see the existing variations on the mark (beyond proportions) and understand. At least, I pray to God you would understand.

2) You really couldn't comprehend that breaking rules like this is an extremely popular design trend that positions designers and the brands they work on at the forefront of culture?
Have you missed like the last 10 years, dude? Do you need us to catch you up so you aren't falling behind?
- eww now you're moving into the redneck category pretty fast, go back and read more of this thread and I hope u will see why you're dead wrong.sted
- Sted you sound like someone who is clueless about who the leading designers are right now.fate
- can't decide when to keep the rules and when to break it can you help me out?
or should i just write below my 6x transformed shitty logo:intentionally garbagested - p.s. there is no "updating" that portfolio of yours, you need to throw it all out and start over.fate
- ty for the ps to the wrong notes, kept a few things for the update, with a different way of presentation.
I really don't need to justify my commercial work :Dsted

no one outside of new york cares who she is except her friends

We can hate but they'll just get $100k to do weird campaigns for dog food or mattress companies and no one will care. It's not like the Yankees are hiring them and Jess is insisting on a photoshoot of her in uniform as the campaign. Or she's working with people that save the world.
They'll do a decent job on branding and billboards and social media for those random startups and we might see it but there's so much garbage out there that we'll forget about it.
They're not designing anything that matters.
- I can totally imagine her pitching the concept to Yankees that she should be featured on it, riding a giant baseball bat.NBQ00
- But the Yankees aren't calling her. She can have the lame dog food companies. Let's save the anger for when companies we like hire her.omahadesigns
- As if the Yankees is a great brand.NBQ00
- omahadesigns0
- She's basic.omahadesigns
- So she's a total Instagram addictBennn
- Does she have like 10 IG accounts? Jeez, not even celebrities and models have that many.NBQ00
- BusterBoy0
She going to flash her tits in this incarnation?

Saggy, stop thinking of lame things to do to get press and just get back to having an intern cut type into your skin.

Looks like neither Sagmeister & Walsh nor Creative Review was behind the “robbery” and was a clever ruse by the upstart group achos (http://achos.es).
Full details here:
http://www.creativereview.co.uk/…
From the article:
So, how did they create such a convincing looking video of the Sagmeister & Walsh studio? "We looked for a space with similar proportions to their studio, and then we began to reconstruct the scene of the crime," achos say. "We shot a video recreating a robbery and kept the best frames. With a bit of photo editing and a lot of patience, we'd managed to get into the studio of Sagmeister & Walsh without ever leaving our homes!"

"What began it is people who did not speak up because they felt powerless. Honestly the HR Dept needs to be looked at and all initiatives come from there."

Just to be clear BusterBoy - that kind of shit gets your ass fired and blacklisted in the real world.
What made you think QBN was your safe space to act like this? You all been left to your own devices too long without any adult supervision?
