My boss thinks it's still good enough to communicate the message and win awards...but we can only show the book and pretend there was no campaign.

Gramme, I just wrote you an email. I just wrote it and sent it... and then I saw the email address is to 'Studio@metagramme' not directly to you so someone else might get it... I'm really sorry!!!!!!!!

THAT BLOWS

Don't sweat it spoox – metagramme is my dusty ol' portfolio, nothing more. I actually work at another studio elsewhere. Studio@metagramme goes right to my g-mail.

I did a retail style guide for a national brand and the printer fucked up the tabs, and there was no time to redo it. I feel like it ruined a great piece and many, many hours of work. the culprit was the AE and one of my juniors - they only had to check the die-lines - damn fuckups.

Thanks for listening and for the encouraging words. You are all grand chaps and chapettes in my battered ol' book :)

There is something seriously effed up about a corporate culture that honors deadlines before quality – even if it costs unreasonable amounts of money. I seriously think this helter-skelter pace has contributed in no small part to our current economic pickle.
