Wanted to post this link. It's a panel called "Is spec work evil?" There are several new websites that hook up junior designers who need cash with companies who want to circumvent the cost of hiring an agency or design shop (i.e. crowdspring.com). Essentially, designers post turnkey design solutions and slap a $400 price tag on them. This has a lot of agency folks in a lather for obvious reasons. David Carson unloads both shotgun barrels on the crowdspring folks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQu0292dftA
I have to agree with the guy that said that it's here to stay whether we like it or not... While there are "ways" that things have been done... Or best case scenario briefs and processes... Things are changing..
ReplyDeleteThe entertainment and ad industry thought that people would never be interested in self created amateur content... Hello Youtube.. Everyone wants to create something... and see what others have created. Its now embedded into our social network.. Pretty soon it will be the same in the business world too.
In the end... What the people decide is the best.. Will rise to the top.
ReplyDeleteEither way.
Someone (can't remember who) called YouTube a "darkly lit space, online". Just made me laugh.
