Dear Blog,
Well the Show Some Old Work thread seems to be taking off which is great, except... I think the more interesting part is what people were doing, where they were doing it, how they were doing it, and any other anecdotal information that may be of passing interest.
Maybe that will happen, or maybe I just expect too much. Merely looking at old work doesn't do it. A bit like watching a riveting history programme but they just show you pictures of artifacts and refrain from narrating what it all means.
Ho Hum.

Oopsky, I would adorn your thread with tidbits from my past but I am too ashamed of it all. Regards, C.

hahaha, my current portfolio is all old work. and it's all personal concepts.
there is nothing in there that is less that 4 years old.
i take no responsibility if any of you go blind.

Creative, its not about being ashamed of it... have you seen what I've posted ffs? hardly work I'm going to be proudly bandying around in a portfolio now is it? the point is, at least for me anyway, is that if the thread continues and prospers, it will be an interesting archive of what went on in the past.
For me though the actual images are almost secondary to the context and circumstances, but try as I might, I can't get anyone to just say "this was something I did in my first job using Aldus Freehand 3.0 and blah blah blah"... for future prosperity.
I guess the problem is most people here are online designers and as your own audience you don't NEED to be told how a website was built ...you can look it up on your boffinscopes and see the scaffolding for yourselves... but I can't, so it would be really great to know "This was my first ever Flash site, and I did it using Flash 2 cross-obligated with a meshing frequency from Meekon6" or some such shit.

I hereby relinquish all hope for the Old Work thread. Its just going to be a place where people dump images and leave again.
My career as a design archivist was a short-lived disaster.

I told a client today that it was impossible for me to make a good looking and tasty cake with shit, referring to the material he gave me to work with.
Needless to say, it didn't go down well and I have now used up my allowance of "Client snaps".
Really pisses me off, that I spend it on him. I have way worse clients, I could have used it on.

- hahahahaha you're my hero7point34
- Follow it up. Send him a shit and an icing bag and ask him to try for himself. Its all good PR.SkyPoo
- all cake leads to shit so maybe the client didn't understand what you were saying?********
- Maybe a shit-cake was too strong an image. Next time tell them the whole turd-polishing schpeellocustsloth
- I sometimes forget that members of QBN talks more about shit than I would've heard over my entire life.Jaline

A bunch of Last.fm listeners and I had a little argument about which of The Mentalists' (vespa's band) songs is best.
