Design Buzz on the Web
if these awards were based on real results to the client i.e. a measure increased in sales, then it would mean something... otherwise it is just a superficial recognition based on the subjective tastes of a few judges
ad agencies are always paid better than design studios like Underline because we can come up with more than just pretty design/awards, we can demonstrate to the client that our campaign directly impacted their bottom-line... creative sells, it doesn't just decorate
with millions of free articles/images at your fingertips (desktop, ipad) why PAY for a printed copy and cut down trees, release harmful chemicals into our environment
yes, style-driven designers like Underline love print, but what is best for the planet?
hello future
What the client thought of the work and how it helped them is all that matters. Awards are only for the designers who want bigger egos.
On environmental responsibility, your iPad, desktop and any other tech gadget is just as harmful to the environment in its manufacture, and in many cases creates a lot of misery when they have reached the end of their life and you throw it away.
I can't read millions of articles and I'm tired of everything being free, you can't sustain a society on marginal incomes and crowd sourced, under payed ignorance. Spend an hour or two with a quality magazine Bye Bye, bet you can't give an hour undivided attention to it without responding to your iPhone.
I can say, "Underline's poster for me increased my sales and won a d&ad award," which is true-but there are many other factors which worked in conjunction to the poster which contributed to the sales result. One being the internet, my website and customer service.
Funny thing about the internet, it isn't made of trees or ink but magically consumes far more natural resources in the form of billions of computers than a few bits of paper. Funny that you'd both be so quick to attack magazines, design and print on a free design magazine's website. The ultimate irony would be if they printed your comments in the print magazine!
Ya ya, nobody wants magazines except the millions of subscribers who still pay for them and recycle them when they are done.
I'm amazed that Apple gets away with its enviro-unfriendly products that don't have replaceable batteries (hello iPod and iPad) and are all bound to end up in landfills after a couple of years, oozing whatever toxic chemicals and minerals are required to make them.
The top causes of deforestation are agriculture, development and mining. Forestry companies actually plant more trees than they use. They have a vested interest in keeping the forest going.
Huge quantities of coal are burned in southern US to power generating stations that keep the Internet server farms going. And those server farms are expanding at a fast rate.
The enviro argument is more nuanced than current discourse suggests. Just saying.
I agree with bye bye .... bye bye print ... I stopped buying magazines/newspapers years ago
as bandwidth increases, the next generation will not even notice those filled stands
i'm getting ready to say bye bye to cable too... now i can download the few worthwhile programs i want to watch.
bye bye
