Choosing clients is definitely the key, if you're able to. And as Joshua mentions in his article, projects with which you maintain a long term relationship with are the best. <strong>Joshua</strong>, thanks, I'm glad I could contribute.

I like how you point out that its easier to justify design decisions when you're in the target audience: "I immediately know when the design is solid, and I can easily justify design decisions when they are questioned." Since so much of design is justifying decisions, this is a really important point. Thanks for pushing the discussion further. Thanks for the mention, Henry.

Love the Henry Ford one! Choosing clients is key in having some love and ownership of the project. Unfortunately, most clients that give you the freedom don't have the budgets either.

I think it's ready for dinner party use. You'll get an invite, know I keep saying it, but it's all part of the suspense process. :) Great work on Levi's mr! You really pulled all your skills out for that puppy. Still testing the pasta machine… I think it’s ready for dinner party use.

I was just telling the guys at work about your recent work in eCommerce. Too bad there's not that much demand for it in Australia or if there is no one is willing to pay for it. Keep up the good work! Speaking of Valentine's Day I happened to play with a cute little interactive flash canvas made by Frost design which was a fun way to kill 30mins in playing with type and icons. http://love.frostdesign.com.au/ It was great catching up with you and Megan twice this weekend! Are you sure you're busy?! :) Just kidding. You're dishing out some fantastic work Henry, well done! As for me, I'm leaving work as you know but I'm going to use this down time to get better at design for web, setup my computer so it runs better or maybe even upgrade it, re-do my website (and try to pick a style or theme). Any thoughts? Hey Henry,

I reckon we should write a script to grab the RSS feed, and then just dump out a bunch of templates using photoshop scripting - like the "create your own web2.0 logo" style. Just have it run on it's own, output files, and automatically submit them to the contest site. We can just sit back and wait for the cash to start rolling in!
