    What camera?

    I use a Canon 40d and a Canon 7d. I think they are both pretty brill, and there are LOTS of lenses available for Canon mounts. Maybe start with a 550d? Same wide-range of lenses, but less money than a 7d...

    Coolness, I'd like to see. Hope you find it. :)

    Olympic logo copy?

    Actually I think I quite like the logo... As a pleasant shape etc...(It's waaaaaaaay nicer than the 2012 one IMHO). But the similarities are too many. And if they are citing the mattise painting as the inspiration, then why dancing for the Olympics? Unity? I get the feeling that this is more...

    DeviantArt? Your thoughts

    Paul, I really like your 'Snake' poster. Brill.... I think I have lost some of my patience with DA.... Unless you have a billion people watching you, there's very little feedback. But there are some great artists on there if you have the time to sift through it. My gallery. Not particularly...

    Pattern poster

    Maybe, but if it were to be done that way there would be less control over the colour or each of the pattern's elements. For example, the file that I have - I can make all the dots in the pattern red, the dark horizontal line green, and the remainder of the 'star' pink if I wanted to. This...

    Experienced designers, I need your advice

    That sounds like a reasonable plan to me. If you were to follow the Financial Design road, then you will still need to have a foot in that arena, in case you get out of date - but I'm sure you know that. I'm not sure which schools are best as far as reputation goes - I have always been...

    Advise on a good computer monitor

    Image quality id the paramount for design, not even response time (the stats can be misleading). I have 2 Benq Fp241w screens from 2007 (£500 at the time! Strewth!) but they are still beautiful. And I would be tempted to get the same brand again.... Anyhow, going by reviews from the same...

    Pattern poster

    Thanks. :) I think when I make the next one(s) I'll make a more dense dot. At the minute the dot is composed from the logo you see, so maybe I could do a reversed circle or something like that....

    Here's a smaller more contrasty version. I agree that the dots need to be closer together for the next one. I reckon I'd like to do a small series on them, more testing needed though. Here's the pic:

    Experienced designers, I need your advice

    For photos, I use a combination of: Canon 7d Canon 40d Sigma Lenses 17-70mm Macro (v.v. nice) Sigma 70-300mm Sigma 10-20mm Canon 50 'nifty 50' Be careful with photography equipment. It's very easy to spend ridiculous amounts of money on nice gadgets. :) I think the combination...

    Coffee table books

    Do you print those in-house or send them out?

    Experienced designers, I need your advice

    You nailed it in a nutshell - people deconstruct and believe that they "could produce that" having no understanding of the decisions we have to make, those which the general public just can't do... The biggest one seems always to be how to start, but there are multitudes of choices that we will...

    Experienced designers, I need your advice

    Hi there. It's a tricky one, especially because of the money to be perfectly honest. From the experience that I have had (and I certainly DONT speak for everyone) is that often design itself is a 'hard sell'. If there is something to attach it to for example printing, then it's easier to give...

    Coffee table books

    Hi guys, I have been thinking about this for years, but was also wondering if any of you guys have considered /have made coffee table books? I've always thought that they are just extremely cool etc, and would be nifty to make one.... Also, of course it would be self-published, I would...
