Wannabe designers

[SparkCreative]

I get a fair few CV's sent to me through the site, mostly very bad and addressed to 'Dear Sir' which never goes down well. Anyway, I thought I'd share the latest gem with you...

Design Mania Flash Page

 

[Stationery Direct]

Lol, that's very funny, I take it you gave him/her a job lol :icon_biggrin:

 

[SparkCreative]

I didn't even reply. I don't think I've got the words...

 

[Corrosive]

Ooohh... Nice to see that Flash, tables for layout, 'save for web spacer gifs' and empty paragraph tags are alive and well in web design today. Now, where is my brand new 2002 diary... :icon_thumbdown:

 

[Corrosive]

As Jon has just pointed out, Apostrophe Mania may be a better name.

 

[TheLogoBar]

Is that an actual real website?

 

[Ian Bonner]

Ha! Ha!

Always makes me laugh when they say 'I thought I'd give graphic design a go...'

 

[spottypenguin]

Just :icon_eek:

 

[Minuteman Press]

A truly stationary company.

 

[Tony Hardy]

That's really inspired me to change my website into Flash.

 

[Katedesign]

My head hurts!

 

[ARRIVALS]

Great. I was having a sip of my tea them opened that link, and spat it over my screen. Cheers.

That was obviously a joke.

 

[gisto02]

love the use of rainbow colours and the stretched graphics!! Very inspiration haha loads of paint splats and pencils too! very original..

My favourite bit is that when you click on a link sometimes it gives you a sound effect as a reward.

Unbeatably bad design

Wow... that's really unbeatably bad design.

Flash used in 2012 = bad.
Cheesy Sound effects = bad.
Animation to "paint" your homepage onto the screen = lmao
Stretched graphics = bad.
All colours of the rainbow = bad.
Lack of any knowledge that SEO exists = bad.
Graphics cut out and saved via microsoft paint = bad.
Failure to display epilespy warning prior to bright red & flashing colours poping up = UNFORGIVABLE!!!

 

[spottypenguin]

Well, someone phone them and ask them how much for a logo design and request examples - alternatively phone and tell them they are a disgrace to the graphic design world :icon_biggrin:

 

[GazBowes]

Scarey huh!

 

[immrh]

The music is sick m8

 

[FormeCreative]

There it is, that website again. I received the CV myself followed up by a call asking if 'I could help him out and give him some work' I can't say we've got any clients that we are thinking of losing.. Only good thing is it reminded me of my old ZX Spectrum

 

[chisan]

i kinda like it! it's.. different!

you've gotta stand out right!? ha!

definitely makes you feel better about your skills and talents as a designer!
