skinkers
Skinkers...
has anyone ever managed to use one on a job?
I've suggested them a couple of times but they've never been bought, or maybe they're just old hat? I got the Orange version on my p.c. at home (they don't seem to load on the mac). It seems like a really good idea. You can down load the "skinker to your desktop and it acts as a direct link to content on a website e.g.. the virgin one alerts you to certain deals on fairs etc but you don't have to go to the main website, it just comes up on your desk-top. They can be an animated character (like the orange one) or just a logo (bbc).
Web Development for Designers
DevKick focuses on web development articles geared towards web designers. It covers topics such as Parsing strings with jQuery, web components/widgets for web designers/developers and inspirational posts such as Graphic Design from 1950-1970. They also have a News feed that shares resources from around the web.
Great resource for designers who are intent on gaining a better understanding of development and how it can extend their design skills.

In praise of Dave Trott
Shortly after I landed my first agency job, the big boss gave me a piece of advice that has stayed with me to this day: "In marketing, you're only going to meet two types of people - simplifier and complicators".
Dave Trott's piece in this week's Campaign - How to get your first job in advertising - is testament to that advice. It's a such a breath of fresh air. I mean proper, proper...
It's a fantastic read ostensibly aimed at teams looking to get their first agency job. But it will help anyone whose job it is to evaluate and appraise creative work, whether you're agency or client side.
It is a perfect example of how process liberates rather than stifles creativity. And Dave teaches you how advertising sells products, and how to sell your creative work "If you stop trying to be clever and just be logical, the product will end up selling itself".
The piece is introduced by Peter Souter of AMV who offers up this little gem: "I suspect Dave has never called himself a "creative". He's just a salesman, albeit one of the three best salesmen Britain has ever produced".
It's Dave's gift to all of us, client or agency; creative or suit. So if you only do one thing today grab a copy from someone's desk and head for trap two. Alternatively, you can download a PDF of the piece at noisydecentgraphics.typepad.com/downloads/howtobydavetrott.pdf
