i got there submission for my book this morning...i adore TDR and they will always be my favourite i notice the site was down a while ago a recently saw the landing page was up, i really want to see what there new site looks like, i was in a ian anderson seminar at plus festival and he showed some work that will be coming out soon. BEAUTIFUL! nice bloke spoke to him. Love the logo, Dream job lol
he also told me they get more commission for exhibitions that work..
- goddamn, your use of the english language is annoying!Bluejam

they are using akkurat at tdr??

typist - an spoke at length about being pigeonholed as a producer of a particular type of work, i think this is a move to try and break the stereotype of tdr works... if they can get some good account managers in they should do well

The TDR secret is drugs to get inspired... they took drugs at any time while work. Ask some ex-tdr, you will see! :D

Hey rybo.
Saw this site and it reminded me of your KugaNinja (or what ever) logo

p.s I have no comment on the tDR holding page

What kind of thing did they submit Rybo? ... obviously not to give too much away, but was it a digital file or a print they sent in the post... typical TDR style or something unexpected???

Jesus.
It's a holding page. The Digital Club are working on their real site... it's been mentioned several times that the whole reason this update is taking forever is that they're going over 7+ years of work that not everyone has really noticed....Wired mag, albums, exhibitions.
Though, it's kind of cool to see what the ex-pats are doing; UE, SandersonBob, Build... incredible.
- Jesus, relax, nobody has really been bitchin too badly about out!
But I for one can't wait!!uncle_helv - I didnt know SandersonBob is ex DR? Lovely work.

yeah tis ok, but they go too much on trends imho. i like it, don't misunderstand me here..
but generally, the portfolio's i really enjoy have surprising style deviations in it, like completely different solutions to different design assignments..

I know what you are saying janne. Their work is diverse, they have a wide range of clients, they work across different media and they have been around for many years... I can't fault any of this.
However, the branding of their own business has been a bit ropey over the years and in many ways overshadows the quality of their work... That gimmicky little icon thing... I just don't get it.
- true, true. but perhaps i am thinking something else here. somehow their work does only fit within a fashion... hmm..janne76
