Thought by A list Apart

Posted on 2008 05, 20 by naccrat

There is a good article on A List Apart by Keith Laferriere on “Why Did You Hire Me?”. It has a lot of interesting thoughts on handling the new gig you were hired to do. Here is one of the best thoughts from the article that could be applied to all aspects of life.

“You are responsible for your own happiness, but you should always be aware of the cost. If you feel you will be able to perform to new levels and maintain a sense of peace in your career, then by all means explore, but please remember that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

AIGA In-house Design

The AIGA now has, or I just became aware of, an in-house design section.

There are a number of unique challenges and opportunities that creatives face when practicing design in the corporate environment. This online forum offers interviews, essays and case studies specifically created and chosen to inspire and support in-house designers and design team managers. In an effort to end the isolation that many in-house designers experience, readers are urged to reach out and contribute to the discourse

It looks like there are only 6 articles now but I only imagine this getting bigger. While attending the AIGA Design Conference in Denver last year, I attended most of the in-house design focused panels and they were usually filled up. There seems to be a lot of interest in this.

I’m not sure the details on this because I can’t read the post but I believe these were ads for miniature cars. It is a great idea and a nice play on the original logos.

I think this sums it up nicely. Compliments of Webreakstuff. Hopefully we will stop hearing about this, but since the rumors are out that Microsoft is after Facebook, probably not.
