Design For Free?!? Is it Okay to Say No?

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

As graphic and web designer (or any skill-based profession), you are undoubtedly approached with many inquiries seeking your “assistance” with a project or idea that a family member, friend or “worthy” cause wants you to lend a hand with. Of course by “assistance” they mean that they want you to work for free and by “friend” this may be that guy from high school who used to give you wedgies and swirlies on a weekly basis, who in a recent “where are they now” publication from your alma mater discovered your skill set that they are now interested in. Of course it could also be a very close friend or an organization that is helping starving children in Solamila… What do you do??? (more…)

I am sure that we have all had at least one interaction like this. Perhaps with a boss, a client or a parent, but the feeling is unmistakable.

I am sure that if you yourself are not in school you at least know of or have that one friend who seems to be a career student.

Want to know how to get rid of red eye or spice up a church flier? Well look no further, this video has all the answers!

A bit less helpful as a tutorial then YS@P, due to the rapid pace, though that does no stop this video from being a good laugh and well worth the time. College Humor certainly has done it again with this one! By the way, how awesome is the rapper name CMY-Killa’?? Check it out!!

Minivans Never Seemed so Cool

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Swagger Wagon, is an ingeniously adverting campaign centered around the two gangsta-parents seen is this catchy hip hop video above. Aiming to make the least sexy and most “parent-esque” vehicle on the road (the minivan) seem more hip and fun, Toyota employed Saatchi & Saatchi LA to “get behind the wheel”. Marketing Toyota’s Sienna though the use of humor, these ads hit the spot and miraculously seem to make that mommy/daddy-wagon seem like a sexy gangsta beast, love it! Check out the Swagger Wagon YouTube Channel for more of the humorous videos and marketing.
