Dutch design sector bounces back (BNO Industry Monitor 2006)
After going through a difficult period, the design sector has now turned the corner. That conclusion can be drawn from the findings of the survey recently carried out by the Association of Dutch Designers (BNO). The survey was conducted among the BNO members. Although the results achieved in 2004 were disappointing, the preliminary figures for 2005 show that the Dutch design industry has now clearly regained momentum.

NO!SPEC blog launched
The mission of this blog is to educate both clients and Visual Communication designers (also known as 'graphic' designers) about the nature of speculative, or "spec" work. It also serves as a vehicle to unite designers who support the notion that spec work devalues the potential of design and ultimately does a disservice to the client.
