    I understand that this is threatening to people, but you've got to listen to what you're saying. Aquent doesn't determine the value of design any more than the design community does. Value is assigned by the market and what actually works. If cheap/inferior design "works", then businesses will use it. If it doesn't or it hurts them, then they will turn to something better. Preventing people from seeking cheap(er) design solutions, to the extent that is even possible, does not solve this problem.

    • amazing. stop making excuses.jsds
    • that doesnt mean companies like Aquent should assist in promoting he lowest common denominator.sintaxera
    • they SHOULD be one of the chorus of designers promoting quality, experienced and informed design.sintaxera
    • I'm not making excuses. Is my only option to say, "Design contests are evil; Aquent is stupid. We'll never do it again and everything will be fine"? Or can I actually have an opinion about what's happening that differs from the consensus here?Aquentminister
    • probably you should have thought, " is this a good idea in the first place." but yes is the answer to your question._me_
    • You should address the design community directly, rather than asking inane question about contests.cannonball
