I'm in the mood to do something free for a good cause... or for someone who really needs some help with something... as long as they can gain from it in a way that'll help them move forward.
Any suggestions? I just need something different to feel good about. :)

try open source software, or a charity or church or kids with cancer...

Well I've been wanting to make a website for my love of Welsh Corgies. Wanna collab on that?

hahaha fate... I just finished a dog site last night: http://www.poochieofbeverlyhills…
... but if you get it started... I'm in! It's your love after-all (yes... they're adorable dogs).

iDp... that stuff is gorgeous!! absolutely beautiful.

thanks...i love pro bono...besides the fact that it doesnt pay, clients are usually so much nicer to deal with.
- DutchBoy0
good stuff, iDp!!
cannot place the decoration on the bizcard though... is it supposed to be a landscape or..?
anyway, i would LOVE to do some pro-bono soon, you can make something really nice without having a bitch of a client that does not pay well enough and just wants to exploit you... way to develop your skills and support a good cause..
too bad i need some money real hard now.... but one day..

she wanted a grunge look to it...I hate that, but anyways she wanted me to add the look to the site...so I just tossed some of the grunge from the site onto the card just to show her what it would look like.

where were you about a month ago?! i was desperately trying to shifty up a new logo/identity for my construction biz http://fixmyhouse,ca and got ramsacked by 100 NT diehards in my efforts.
i've been talking with mr. snugs decided he'd help a bruda out and work out a barter. he designs my logo/site/id, while i drive to toronto for a weekend andi build his deck, it works out. but pro bono? iye yoye. that would have been a huuge help.

local humane society is a good start. get them to feed you photos/descriptions of new arrivals, then make it availble to the local public.
special places for those that take care of the little ones.

Yeah that is really nice work!

thanks guys, I really apreciate the kind words!
Pro Bono is a great thing, everyone should help pitch in to help make the world a better place in some way. Think of it as going up against the big guys and marketing the anti-product.

There used to be a design site that featured a database of probono projects. It's probably gone now. Then there was another site that you sign up to and if accepted get probono projects for organizations in Africa and around the world. Anyone remember the links to these?
