Important message from Dickmans Design

[Bruno]

This is an one time announcement to let everyone know there´s NO RELATIONSHIP between Dickmans Design work and Nastygraphix´s work.

I decided to post this because of a post by tranza that said:

I want to make it clear that "Jack" AKA Marco worked here for three months (a test period that defines if the employee has what it takes to stay) and never really did anything major here. He never worked in our design dept. He was going to work in our client care dept but wasn't a right fit for us.

I dislike to see this type of post, Tranza, saying that "jack used to work at Bruno Dickman" because it relates the DICKMANS Quality standards in design, business proccesses and client care to NastyGraphix's.

This just doesnt make sense since 1) I am the one who takes care of the company strategies, marketing and new business development around here; 2) Milena does a HUGE job in Client care management and board posting; 3) Thiago is a Giant in Operations, Planning and technology implementation; and at last but very VERY importantly, about 90% of our design concepts are done by my partner Mike Dickman - a genius if you ask me. We also have a killer flash developer, awesome senior and junior designers, trainees that are better than "pros", and to put it all together, a custom management system that I have never seen anything like, in any advertising or design company of any size.

There´s NO RELATION between DICKMANS DESIGN WORK and NASTY GRAPHIX WORK. So, What are the relationships between Dickmans Design and Nasty Graphix? 1) Marco (the CEO of NG) worked here as a client care assistant for 3 months and wasn´t good enough to stay. 2) Regis, one of NG´s designers, probably a partner of marco, i dont know, worked here as well. Good for design production, never did anything related to concept design around here, meaning, there´s no relation between NG´s ability to design sites that convert to Dickman´s ability to design sites that convert. 3) Jon, a good flash animator, illustrator and production guy, worked here and freelances for NG. Again, No relations with concept design, planning, and making sure the site converts. The core of Dickmans Design was, and still IS here, shaping the edge of the industry with fresh ideas and quality work.

Dickmans Design´s mission is to provide our client´s with design and branding solutions that boost the online performance of our clients. Our work goes way beyond photoshop and flash. Our success is related to the way we think about the needs of our clients, to the way we interface with them, to the way we work and create. We deliver SOLUTIONS, not graphics. Thats probably why we call our bussiness DESIGN (art meets science - beauty and functionality) and some people call their business Graphics (well... graphics.)

My intention with the post I have just made is to once and for all disconnect any relationship there might be between Dickmans Design and NastyGraphix. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you very much for reading. I have written a lot and explained the situation in detail because I do not intend to post back in this thread. Anyone interested in talking about it can hit me up on iCQ 107450119, MSN (brunodickman at hotmail dot com) or email bruno at dickmansdesign dot com - I do not intend to post back in this thread.

Cheers!

Bruno Dickman

[mackey]

Bump from Bruno and his team!

Tell Thiago i said what up!

Great group of guys...

[sfera]

woah, see why it needs clarification

Thanks for clearing that up, as if it ever needed to be....with your magnificent reputation!

BUMP.

This is an old thread, but it seems like some people/companies just cant play by the rules. They keep trying to be or to relate to what they can't.

[seeric]

I swear by Dickman's Design. If it's not the brain child of Mike and Bruno, solely, then it's not Dickman's

SHo!

[Adam_M]

Can't wait to show the world the latest Dickmans sites

Bruno has the best design team in the industry

[Bruno]

I love you airek. I love you adam.

[tolik]

bruno are cool guy and his work are cool stuff also. i know very few good designers in industry who asking price what their work worth ;)

even if this are not cheap ;)

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

SO basically the core of newbloods bailed and made there own company.

Cool.

But why do you have to down play whether or not there designs convert or not? It's not like you guys know exactly what converts or really an authority on the matter. Your portfolio runs like shit I been doing for almost 10 years now. It's not rocket science.

Anyone can come up with "Conceptual" design, the real work is in the implementation of a design concept after approval.

Frankly I just do not think you are being fair about the guys that left your company to create there own.

I for one wish them luck, and attacking there ability to create converting design's is just silly. No sense in going Emo about a guy that said a former employee openned shop in Brazil. Designers always move on, not being of the breed to sit and judged every minute for a paycheck from a freaky over paid "Art director".

At first, we never answered to that, because we never felt necessary. Well, it's still not, but just in case, let's make things clear by our part:

1] We agree about being different of them. That was the plan since start. We don't want to look like them, to have his clients, to have this price, or whatever. We like the idea of being ourselves.

2] We don't need to speak at dickmans name, or whatever name to sell. Notice that all design companies that have a work rate a bit better than average is full of job. For us ins't different.

3] We worked with them in the past, and the disagreements between his working way and our led us to make another company. Anyway, we truly respect them.

4] We think that is very important to have your own design style, and grave it in time. To make our own way to design for adult is what we really search everyday, and what makes us have real fun, day after day. Just compare portifolios and you guys will see the difference.

So, that is it, once and for all.
Kind Regards

you guys should settle this like real Paulistas and kidnap or carjack each other

Ha Bruno you kind of make it look like NastyGraphix don't have any qualities (in a formal way though). I like both your work but I've been doing business with Marco for years and NastyGraphix is an amazing company and I've got nothing but respect for the whole crew. I'd also consider Marco a friend after all that he's done for me.

[webair]
