styledeficit bits and bobs
A home for odds and ends of drawings I do, or links and things I like the look of.
The illustrations here that I've done are ©Denise Wilton, but that doesn't mean I wont let you do something with them, if you ask me nicely, and if they're not client work.
If you want to see what I actually do for a living then Styledeficit, or Kaius Design will give you more info.
Thanks for coming.
She paints the anatomy of the horse, ON the horse. Which looks spectacular. Of course.
I’m sure it’s awesome, but that page does make it look like no one will ever see it, unless there’s a flippin’ great big blue hand pointing at it.
saved to read later.
Incidentally, I’d like to register general displeasure at the subtitle of this article: ‘And why your girlfriend is a whore’. There’s no need for it. I’m assuming it’s for SEO or the author is projecting.
Knob Creek runs out of whiskey
Hmm. This is interesting.
I spotted the story of Knob Creek running out of product here first, and found it just another example of what companies have been doing for years; shouting ‘oh god, our products are so awesome we’re running out! Look at us! We’re so great, we had no idea our products would be so popular’.
Happens with kids toys almost every xmas.
Everyone wanted a Buzz Lightyear a few years back, but they were so ‘scarce’ their PR department managed to get their scarcity (could also be read as an operations failure) all over the news, on what I can only hope was a slow news day.
This seemed to be the same thing. The way it was reported on designing 4 influence really doesn’t give it proper credit.
Failure Mag go into a bit more detail, and actually, the story is quite good.
“Rather than compromise quality for quantity, we’re letting [stocks] run out. Until the next batch is finished aging for its full nine years,”
That’s much better. That says ‘we value quality’ more than it says ‘we’ve had an ops failure and couldn’t get our orders right.’
It says ‘you get what you pay for’ not ‘we’re probably holding stocks back to make news’.
Could all be true, could be a lie. Not that bothered really, just thought the detail added a lot more to the story, and a nice idea was mis-sold by the first speedy blog post.
