I was struggling to come up with an idea for this month's creative blog post. Since we at BIGSHOT started this blog, I've felt the pressure to have a strong opinion on something in my blog post. This month, I've taken this pressure off and decided to post some online resources I use all the time in hopes they help someone else out.

Hi, May I Help You? We all hear this question on a fairly regular basis. It has different meaning based on the party asking and the party who is asked. In the world of design, it is a question that deserves further exploration.

Web designers should have a version of the hypocratic oath. First do no harm. Who would have thought the Olympics would do harm to a website. I certainly wouldn't have. At the start of this year's Olympics I innocently signed on to a certain Country's Bank's website. You could say it was the Bank of Said Country. There was greeted by a very "cool" flash piece inviting me to click on it to join in the Olympic festivities by creating fireworks. What a cool idea. What could be the downside of celebrating the Olympics with digital fireworks. Well, unfortunately, a lot.

In my previous post, Communication Design Is not Subjective I spoke about removing the subjective conversation points from the design discovery phase of a project. After reading this post a couple of times with fresh eyes, I felt it necessary to ammend some parts of the advice given therein.
