The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 12: Is AIGA Wrong About Spec Work?

October 27th, 2011 | by Nate Voss
Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show

OH MY GOD

Spending almost an hour being made to feel like a Fox News flame-war anchor, I admit, may have gotten me into a feisty mood when it came to naming today’s show (the graphic, though, is just me being a dick because Donovan left me off the last podcast’s artwork).

The breakdown:

Barack Obama‘s campaign holds a poster contest that doesn’t maybe crosses a the line from grassroots community builder into KILL-IT-WITH-FIRE Spec Work. AIGA overreacts and/or overcompensates writes a letter. Nate and Drew who may be thankful his name actually didn’t make the show title? spar while Donovan tries to make Nate feel like an idiot for even bringing it up tries to make Nate feel like an idiot for even bringing it up.

THE FINAL VERDICT MAY SHOCK YOUno it won’t.

1PT.Rule Comic: Bittersweet Ending

A whole slew of emotions are racing up from last night, not the least of which (or the least of which, depending on yourself) is the eminent retiring/departure of an old friend.

Dave Nelson demonstrates yet again why he is one of the most vital designers working out of Nebraska right now with his new site, WhyIAmVotingForObama.com. It’s an honest, earnest look at the candidate through the eyes of a devout Christian, for single-issue (ie: abortion) voters. Dave’s been a guest of our show (and earlier on the Be A Design Cast) and you can see more of his great work here, and at his blog here.
