But what does it mean to your clients? Do they see the value in IA? What happens when they change their minds? Can IA help manage the change control process? More than ever, we must ensure that our clients find value in and embrace IA - and it's is our job to educate them."

OMG I want the red so bad I can actually taste it. But yowza - pricey pricey!

Quote: "That big publishers can't manage to sell enough print ads, in a post-print media economy shadowed by a larger economic meltdown, is not exactly shocking. What is shocking, though, is that they're essentially saying to scrappier, upstart online competitors: Take our business, please! We're throwing in the towel! If we can't play by the old rules of publishing -- the profit-soaked, imperial model with endless layers of coddled management ensconced in luxe trophy offices -- then we don't want to play at all! "

I love House Industries. And if these weren't so pricey they'd be wrapped up under the tree for my best friend - who's obsessed with ampersands. :)

This doesn't have to be grand at all. You don't have to be looking for the cure for cancer. The key is that your efforts would be missed, your customers would have a sense of loss, if you stopped doing what you're doing.

These are just beyond yum. Especially love the letterpress filters; the halftone is yum too, though.

Interesting overview of how both the print and online versions of the LA Times has changed over the years. Worth taking a peek at.

Politics aside, I think this is a really crappy thing to do as a professional photographer. It makes it clear that you, as a subject, can't trust the photographer (since you agreed to a "hero" shot and ended up looking like you're in Psycho) - in which case, why should any subject ever trust you again? It makes clear that you, as a magazine, can't trust the photographer (since she didn't make clear she'd be coming to the shoot with an agenda, potentially damaging the magazine's trustworthiness). But hey - what do I know?
