   The street deserves your work, my friend. Your work deserves the streets.

   I still like seeing hands, fingers, arms & legs in portfolio/poster images. GIves a sense of scale and it feels craft-like, which is something I want to see from designers I might work with or hire.

   It’s popular to hate the style. I wouldn’t be surprised if web designers diss it because they can’t use the method, well, unless they hold up a monitor to their chest and get that photographed, which would be a little weird.

   Goddammit!

   I have yet to get a pic of me holding a poster, bulldog clips weighing down the bottom corners, jeans carefully selected to represent.

   Ah well. I’ll catch it on the retro rebound.

   I like seeing tits and ass on posters.

   It’s funny, cause I came up across with the same idea of designers holding a poster of designers holding a poster of designers holding a poster…. I find most of the designer’s portfolios boring to death cause the way to present it seems to be more important than the work itself. I want to see the raw product, I want to see a logo in black an white, I want to see rhythm, sense of composition, risk, ambition, concept….but it’s hard to find that. Instead most of what we can see nowadays is just showing off computer skills and little more. There is still a long way to go.
