    I had a series of gigs once rebuilding stuff that had been outsourced... there were a HUGE amount of "not quite right" assumptions, the stuff was okay based on its assumptions, but terrible based on what was really needed.....

    Context is what a designer can bring.... by actually meeting the clients customers, actually living in the same place / zeitgeist / mindset / culture, a local designer can "get it" in a way that an outsourced designer may not... Most clients don't understand this till they've been burned on an outsourcing headache... where they got "ok stuff" that simply missed the target....

    I think it's our responsibility to tell that story, and do it well, rather than sound like whiners...
