"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?

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

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

I invite you all into my bedroom
- "woman, on bed, not naked, can't fathom" - NBQ00ben_
- Yes she got naked so often why is she not naked in bed?NBQ00
- life's great unanswered questions.ben_
- She basically put her entire life online. It's called TMI.NBQ00
- Most shots of her are far away. Hmmm.robotron3k
- Bennn1
- Carefully edited every day by herself.NBQ00
- just a quick change
"partner at creative agency Sagmeister & Walsh." ->
"and founder of creative agency & Walsh."sted - Usually designers have resumes, not wikirobotron3k

Narcissism is a very important skill to have, especially these days. Everything is based on marketing your identity online, the more narcissistic you are the better chance you have to position yourself to be an "influencer". It's sad but it's the place that marketing is at and you might as well embrace it. I would think most designers would already know this and accept it instead of kicking and screaming when a young designer uses it to their advantage.
It's also sad the amount of misogynist comments here about Walsh using her body to get ahead. It's her body, she gets to use it however she wants. A designer doesn't get famous just for being hot.
- this thread made me learn she likes to pose for pics, pet camels and has a grumpy dog. ;)renderedred
- If you think that she got where she is today because of her talent and or grit...you are extremely gullible and naive.utopian
- The 1-2 times she appeared naked for their S&W promotion doesn't even bother me. But look how much she's posing, making portraits of herself...NBQ00
- ...smells of extreme narcissism. She even got like 5 IG accounts she's curating. And needed an extra one just for her bikini and travel pics.NBQ00
- As somebody mentioned before with sarcasm, go check out the andwalsh.com website. There's not enough Pics of her on there.NBQ00
- She's acting as if she's a fucking big name celebrity or even more legendary than Stefan. And as if she started the new agency from scratch which is a lie.NBQ00
- I'd say 70%+ of why she's well known isn't because of her actual design work but because a) she got associated with a legendary designer.NBQ00
- b) because of her viral "40 days of dating" project. The rest is just constant average eye-candy work (not bad, never said it was bad) and her posing her looks.NBQ00
- I could actually appreciate much of their work if it wasn't for her constantly shoving her face up our asses everywhere. The constant attention-seeking is lame.NBQ00
- this place (qbn) hasn't shut the fuck up about her for days... so she's doing something rightPonyBoy
- Attention (and some bad PR) from a site or design forum discussions doesn't equal business dollars tho :)NBQ00
- scnd dat @ponyrenderedred
- Third'd, pbben_
- Sounds like someone is deeply triggered by an agency run by women and minorities.reanimate
- https://andwalsh.com…
This bothers some people, a lot.reanimate - Not at all. Just annoyed by BS, don't care if male or female. Again she makes it sound like she started the agency from scratch.NBQ00
- Why care so much though. Also think you are missing a certain tongue in cheek aspect of what you are calling narcissism. It's not meant to be taken seriously.reanimate
- True, we could post memes and discuss other things but this was a hot topic/ thread for a few days. Why can't we discuss.NBQ00
- I mean it seems kind of obvious that the site has a kind of humorous, self-deprecating tone right? Like they are poking fun at themselves.reanimate
- Narcissism is not a skill. It's a negative character trait. You can market successfully and effectively without narcissism.cannonball1978
- Her narcissism is a drawback because it upstages anyone getting a sense for if they are a good fit for companies that aren't narcissticcannonball1978
- It also keeps anyone from getting a sense for how they work with clients or whether the services they offer are of valuecannonball1978
- Narcissism is a very important skill to have,
if you're doing things for your selfsted - Everything is based on marketing your identity online.
For a one man show self brand, but not for a team like advertised here.sted - position yourself to be an "influencer".
The job here is to connect the real "influencer" with the client...sted - it's the place that marketing is at.
no you are in the wrong place :)sted - this isn't about her body, what idk where u see in these comments seriously...sted

Smells like incels in here.

Thanks, utopian. Learned something new today.
- Utopian = NBQ00Poochie
- lol. I was also Chukkaphob apparentlyNBQ00
- Love armchair psychologists. Even if you're right, who cares?ben_
- aka 50% of generation Z on instagram.omahadesigns
- sted-1
- that is some top level quality tracking.
should be taught so goodsted - she wants to be Björktank02
- So cringe. And yes why so choppy tracking?NBQ00
- This is what happens when you study design, smoke weed, take drugs and then think the world needs to see you name, face and mediocre designs.shapesalad
- horrendous. if you are putting yourself up front like that at least execute it well. I like(d) their work and general ethos but this stuff is cringe.fadein11
- "perfection is boring" - you're not paying attention to her "mantra", and you're talking about it. She wins.ben_
- Imperfection is different than something which looks poorly executed. I also think her mantra doesn't fit their glossy eye candy work.NBQ00
- FYI, calling someone a loser doesn’t make them a winner.imbecile
- how her eyes move + a squint at the end is perfectly enough for imperfection. lags in an object's movement makes it annoying to watch.sted
- so your critique is gospel then. got it.ben_
- Hey, hey! Don't blame it on weed :) It'd be cooler than this if she had a jointMaaku
- Is it just me or does she look a lot like AOCernexbcn
- To be fair, it's how she's looking up and down, left and right, that isn't working for me. She's doing it too many times and too fast. But what do I know...Maaku
- AOC face swap?!?robotron3k
- @ben_ my critique is that we would sit in floating cars if we weren't so in love with oil and the surface what is now asphalt would be a green surface.sted
- I can get down with that.ben_
- So easy to slander about an agency or an individual (especially in this case) This &walsh thread is somehow... poorsandpipe
- The tracking & style looks: forced, rehearsed, kitschy and overall amateurish.utopian
- It’s called design! Look it up!_niko
- student project?Beeswax

- So you have an Instagram account, thanks for coming out!ben_
- You don't need an insta account to see this.NBQ00
- Also, anonymous troll accounts should seriously fuck off.ben_
- It's up to debate if he's just trolling or speaking some truth that came up in this thread as well.NBQ00
- I meant, thanks for showing us your Instagram account.ben_
- Don't have one and it's not me. I only noticed it today as I browsed through the comments.NBQ00
- I get that someone who spends 2/3 of their time in the cotd thread can't comprehend anything other than judging a woman by what they do with their body.ben_
- I'll debate you on the merits though. Pretend she spent the last 8-9 years working diligently while Stefan showed up for a couple hour long brainstorms on eachben_
- project that they brought in. And that she cultivated relationships with clients and grew a studio from what... 4? to where they are now.ben_
- How do you know? And besides I didn't attack her talent but the over the top self-indulgent, narcissism. She may have a narcissistic personality disorder.NBQ00
- One might think she's worked hard to be where she is. If people are dropping 100-200k on their projects because of her tits, it's a crazy world we live in.ben_
- I await a testimonial that reads "Her tits got her the job, now that Stefan's dick's out of the picture we intend to sign up for twice the work"ben_
- "Her tits got her the job"
that's ridiculous! she's got no tits!pango - lol pango lolNBQ00

Jessica Walsh like one of my pic on Instagram last week. I was surprised. I didnt even followed her.
- imagine there is software on the internetz that likes images to get attention, then get followers and likes in return.uan
- awesome!instrmntl
- So have you banged her yet?BusterBoy
- naked pic?utopian
- I thought I was special when she started liking my pics :(OSFA
- Was it full of lots of pwetty colours and pwetty things?Pritt_Stick
- it was a pic of an artist installation. i guess she likes his work.Ben99
- but iam on the pic too so maybe she liked me :)Ben99
- I'm going with option B. You're hawt.OSFA
- Do you think she reads QBN? That would be funny.yuekit
- She liked one of your pics on Instagram. Blatantly wants to fuck.set
- she likes like no othersrhadden

Is Sagmeister still collecting a percentage? If not, that's just beta as fuck.
- her unwillingness to let go of the "&" shows how dependent she is on his name. obviously no longer allowed to use it to promote herself, she's clenching the "&"imbecile
- Bet Sagmeister gets royalties from that "&" usage forever, would be a smart move, the rest of the identity is Regular, not Bold...grafician
- it would be interesting to know what is going on behind itimbecile
- How would we know their partnership contract?omahadesigns
- ahaah grafician :D
just get the corp infos?
Sagmeister fucked an interns dog, they found out because it was on cam
nothing happened, just people get old...sted - industries change, and smart people let young ones prevail.sted
- Never understood why he partnered with her. No, they didn't have sex, I know from sources. He was like engaged at that time and she had a bf.NBQ00
- Just don't get it why he would want to associate with some graphic designer that just started out. He's a legendary designer. It cheapened his image.NBQ00
- Maybe finally it dawned on him that this candy commercial style she's doing is not what he wanted after all.NBQ00
- It would make sense if hes reaping 10-20% off her back as a silent partnet while at the same time disassociating himself from hercannonball1978
- sted0
- lolNBQ00
- On another note, seeing this as a potential client doesn't really want me to work with her/ them. So much self-indulgent, narcissistic self-promotion.NBQ00
- Sagmeister himself was the epitome of self-indulgent narcissistic self promotion... so how is it even remotely surprising...ben_
- that his company's successor is the same? This is one small corner of the design world that barely matters. So much screaming at a wall guys.ben_
- Stefan's self promo was done Intelligently. Had good concepts. This is just blatant "look at me eye candy"NBQ00
- What were the intelligent concepts then? Aiga poster had a deep meaning?ben_
- She moved on, her new "Ampersand" in her life is some guy who does commercials for Hertz renta-cars and Dove soap.robotron3k
- run this campaign just to occupy a symbol. want and own that &.
change the company name to
&W secretly pronounce it like envysted - lol Robo, he's just a camera guy. Not a director.NBQ00
- NBQ00-1
I guess she likes posing and having many portraits of herself.
- Abstract 3D objects are back!Bennn
- Hideous step backwards.fadein11
- When you're a "rockstar" designer you can do almost anything and you will collect awards and good comments. its how things works.Bennn
- That said, I dont totally hate these, but I dont really like em either... looks like stuff from 2004Bennn
- If she was ugly I doubt she'd be so popular. Sorry if it sounds sexist but it's not meant to be. Just how our (sad) world works.NBQ00
- "I'd love to bang the chick on the very left." - NBQ00robthelad
- lolNBQ00
- AHAHAH lame.
abstract 3d objects and putting yourself into the ad is fine for an ego-trip like that. but these compositions look like the work of a semi-pro.sted - She's cute, but not hot. Almost androgynous.Maaku
- When you are a egomaniac it makes your work lamecannonball1978
- shadows and brights have nothing to do with the composition frontal lighting, except the last one where her legs and the reflection is fucked up.sted
- I don't think it's intentional, just the kind of busywork which we all try to avoid publishing.sted
- The h8 is strong in these notes.
; )ideaist - https://www.instagra…omahadesigns
- @ideaist me no hate her or him.sted
- It's all a bit self indulgent. She's welcome to the kind of clients this will get her.MrT
- Whats this trying to say? I don't get it.thumb_screws
- looks kinda cheapneverscared
- Wow losers, btw she's cute.i_was

I'm all for female empowerment and more women on top (not just on top of me). But she's misleading with statement that she founded the company and one of the very few women founding creative agencies.
She teamed up with Sagmeister and now took over company business, structure and clients because he decided to semi-retire.
- "(not just on top of me)"
*cringeomahadesigns - It's a joke dude, relax. And stop with the dv, have some humour lolNBQ00
- But if it's a new company, maybe she did, technically.omahadesigns
- It's not really a new company. She just removed "Sagmeister" word and they did the rebranding.NBQ00
- Maybe she dissolved and reincorporated. Technically.omahadesigns
- "not just on top of me"*
*hoping Peterpancakes see this...robotron3k

She going to flash her tits in this incarnation?

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
