Hi, I’m Matt Balara.I solve design problems with my head.

Andy Rutledge, designer and author of the beautifully minimal blog “Design View” manages to elegantly turn the typical list of agency bitcheries about their clients into a list of valuable advice for clients when dealing with agencies. His post “Don’t Walk; Run.” recommends that clients refuse to work with agencies that are willing to do work for spec (freebies), who are unwilling to spend time getting to know their clients and their business, and who keep their designers too far away from their clients. If all clients would take Andy’s words to heart, they’d not only get better work from their agencies, but we designers would also be having much more fun on the job.
