The new Coke Zero packaging and branding is a copywork of Pepsi Max.

The new Coke Zero packaging and branding has a lot to talk about.Given the rivalry between these two giants soft drinks manufacturers in the world,Coca Cola LTD & Pepsi,the recent branding and packaging of the Coke Zero soft drink by Coca Cola is nothing else but copywork of Pepsi. 18 Aug 2008

Have you been told that you suck at writing, designing ect.? Are you still fighting for your dream?

I'd like to know if there are any creatives out there who've been battling to keep their dream alive despite being told that they suck? Do you still believe in your abilities? Do you know of people who are keen to see you go under? How do you keep the faith alive? 5 Aug 2008

What does a freelance designer have to do to get PAID??

In short, I have 12 years industry experience, an impressive portfolio and skills. My problem is that I meet with prospective clients who hire me based on my portfolio, they send through a brief I send through a quote, which gets accepted, I do the work asap as they need it yesterday - I then wait 3-4 months for them to proof and then when I ask them to pay me, I get asked to give them a breakdown of all of the work that was involved etc etc..........What do I do??? 6 Jun 2008

Please Help....Are there any busuries for Graphic Design

I am desperately trying to help my brother further his talent and try and get him a busury to study Grahic design, we unfortunately are unable to afford tuition fee's. He completed his schooling at False Bay college in 2005 where they offered a creative course as part of his Matric, this was the real reason for us sending him to this college. This was also all that we could afford. We at the time thought that this would open some doors, unfortunatley it has not. I believe that my brother has talent and would make a great graphic designer, with the proper education. he has so much to offer, and is just looking for that break. He has in the mean time took what ever design job he could get. We know that if he gets a busury, he could get the proper training he needs. Please Help 10 Mar 2008

over-designed websites

Do companies realise how annoying it is to have to wait for the pretty pictures to finish floating by on their websites? I'm on your site because I want to know what YOU can do, not what your web designer can do. 8 Jan 2008
