WHAT IS “MATE”?

QUESTIONS YOU’RE
                       ASKING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW
                       Why the hell do you nurture ridiculous ideas like this?

                       How the #^@* did it actually turn out successful?

                       Do your paying clients know what you’re up to, and why on earth
                       would they hire you if they do?!

                       How can I pull this off myself?

                       The Most Awesomest Thing Ever isn’t a mere web site.
                          It’s an approach. An attitude. A way of thinking.

“People always ask how cartoonists come up with ideas, and the
                       answer is so boring that we’re usually tempted to make up
                       something sarcastic. The truth is, we hold a blank sheet of paper,
                       stare into space, and let our minds wander.

                       (To the layman, this looks remarkably like goofing off.)”

                       Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbes

INTERNAL PROJECTS



Sunday, May 22, 2011
INTERNAL PROJECTS GIVE US
                       Freedom to explore.

                       New ways to collaberate with people in the office.

                       A chance to move beyond our respective disciplines.

                       Time to keep our dormant skills sharp.

                       Opportunity to experiment.

                       A morale boost.

TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

Sunday, May 22, 2011
TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

                       We’re proud of the work.

                       Our clients are, too.

                       When users use what we make, it’s a positive experience.

                       We get out of work on time (most of the time).

                       We learn along the way.

“T-shaped people have two kinds of characteristics, hence the use
                       of the letter “T” to describe them. The vertical stroke of the “T” is
                       a depth of skill that allows them to contribute to the creative
                       process. The horizontal stroke of the “T” is the disposition for
                       collaboration across disciplines. T-shaped people have both depth
                       and breadth in their skills.”
