I personally really love the playful bios and the overall whimisicality of the site; it makes it seem like they're a really easygoing bunch of designers and I'd like to work at (or work with) a place like that. This was definitely a conscious decision on their part to present themselves like this. Sure, it might turn away some clients, but they might be the kind of clients that these guys don't want anyway.Sora G.

I enjoy how the site is animated and the character. Perhaps they are relying on the types of clientele that they have worked with in the past to speak their credibility level for them. <br />I guess this can kind of be related to the saying don't judge a book by it's cover, because this website is going to attract a certain type of client and perhaps this is what this firm wants to do.carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295975273146362447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-13150432081537689402011-05-05T16:16:03.421-07:002011-05-05T16:16:03.421-07:00I think the design on this site is pretty good!

Its pretty obvious by the first page with the logos of their clients like Hershey's, WB, and sketchers rolling off the machine, that they are serious and good designers.

Also considering their clients I think it actually works in their favor that they have playful design. Whether or not they are working with clients that are adults companies such as Warner Bros. create things for children so although their design is playful it seems that clients would want to go to them for work like that. I don't think playful means less professional.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957447009460734914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-70406776073439356422011-05-05T11:45:39.548-07:002011-05-05T11:45:39.548-07:00True, I suppose it is like Britney Spears explaini...True, I suppose it is like Britney Spears explaining her job.

However, it's sort of like the saying 'dress for the job you want, not the job you have.' Maybe they WANT fun playful jobs!
