don't want to be argumentative but just point something out.
"Your computer is just a toolbox. No-one gives a f&#k what brand of chisels Michaelangelo used." is spot on.
However people do give a f&#k that Michael Schumacher won seven championships whilst using a Ferrari.

How affordable is graphic design in Australia?
Posted 04.08.2011 @ 12.16AM
I think IKEA is a good example of good design done cheaply, however it's a pre-packaged product that is in response to the designers own set brief to then sell to a market place.
Compare it with a Design Studio who created pre-set design branding solutions for small business ( using the example that seems to be running so far fish & chip shops). Then fish & chip shop owner's would go to the studio and buy the pre-set designs and add there own details of there business and out the door back to there shop to make it all happen.
Could be a viable business model for a studio but not sure how satisfying it would be creating off the shelf generic brand concepts for high turnover design work.

SEO "experts" = snake oil sales people
Posted 21.07.2011 @ 10.17AM
Yeah definately sketchy types,
I built a site on a CMS giving inputs for, page title, keyword, description, custom Meta Tags , all this per page and with sitewide titles and description , with whole site using friendly direct url's to all pages.
Somehow sketchy "SEO expert" talked there way into job to do what the CMS was designed for the client to do themselves.
"SEO experts" are definately the real estate agents of the web design world.

@camo Why should any organisation be financially transparent to people who aren't members of that organisation? Asking where the money goes is a fair enough question, but expecting an answer before you'd even consider joining is, with respect, ludicrous.
