i was not impressed with nick cave's soundtrack for the road

superdoofus-stratodrive:

in fact, i was extremely disappointed and it almost felt like he was masking some sort of ruinous spite while he penned score.

What did you think of the film in general?

Gawwwwddddd ...

I’m soooooooooo borscht tonight!!!!!

(translation: I’m stewing up some mother effing BORSCHT!)

Wireframe Hell

clientsfromhell:

A client wanted a website for their internal stock management system. He was really all over the show in terms of what the site should do and was constantly adding and removing functionality and pages.

So we decided to map out the whole site in black and white, interactive wireframes before we started designing the pages. That way he could see what the site could and could pick and choose the pages / functionality he did / didnt want.

So we get the B&Ws done, all working and tested. I send him a LENGTHY email that explains that the wireframes are, the fact that they arent visuals but are just line drawings to illustrate what the site layout would be like and page behaviours.

5 minutes after sending to the client I get an email back. “I like the site, but we are not sure about the design. The drawings on each page look a bit basic and arent in line with our brand guidelines…”

I honestly think that this site should be required reading for all clients before starting a project of any kind with creative types.
