The many or the few?

[remus]

If you had to choose between designing for the majority and doing bespoke pieces, which would you go for?

[pav_3j]

bespoke man, all the way.

[remus]

any reasoning pav?

[pav_3j]

i just prefer the word...he he

no in all honesty, i like the idea of creating one offs, just appeals to something in me.

know what i mean?

I tihnk i sort of get what your saying, although i would personally prefer to reate sometihng that is useful for loads of people.

[pav_3j]

obviously being the one who designs say, the paperclip, or the ipod, or something similar would be great (if nothing else then for the royalties? but i just love the feeling of connecting with a client, and designing something for them on a very personal level.
makes me feel all warm any fuzzy inside! he he

you can, just in a lifetime and not all at once.

But you could jsut as easily do a lifetimes work with one product. See the tomato ketchup bottle: a thing of beauty, nigh on perfect in function and bringing joy to the lives of millions worldwide

[pav_3j]

hmm, i can see your point, though perhaps a ketchup bottle wasn't the best example. he he.
i can think of a great one though.

sketchup.

still not changing my mind though

I suppose its all down to preference in the end

Anyone else got anything to add? id liek to hear some more points of view...

[pav_3j]

yeah, come on peeps.

off down the pub for 12 pints of guinness now.
fancy it remus?

pav

[remus]

Nah, im more a cider man. Thanks for the offer though

[pav_3j]

my god, i ended up going clubbing in the end.
feeling astonishingly rough now, couldn't quite do a 12 pinter, only got to 9.
