Now I am officially a certified one.
Shame on me!I reckon that PMs can do more than pushing emails, and that many studios have shitload of talent but very little methodology.
Anybody with me on this?

Make sure to:
Collaborate with other PMs on workflow to designers
Have concrete reasons for changes to a project
Weekly spreadsheet outlining what everyone is working on

Right, wait chaps...
I think I need to clarify something. If I think about the PM thing is because I've been doing somewhat design for many years.I know how much sucks to make changes constantly because the account director does not have the balls to sort things up, or because the creative director is stuck with the shittiest concept ever.
I suffered them, and suffer idiotic PMs and ego-driven designers every fucking day.
My point here is that most of the talented designers are not that good as business people and many businessmen think they are really 'creative'. And I think it there are ways to conciliate making money, good design and happy clients...
- I totally agree, but this is almost exactly what the comic says above ;)doublespaced
