Johannes is half way through his MPA-sponsored tour of the UK. Coventry and Croydon are behind us and we're sitting in the BA lounge on the way to Falkirk with Staveley (sponsored by CPT) to come next week. He's had some very generous feedback, and well deserved I reckon. The estimable Simon Whitten called it "genuine, exceptional and inspiring" on DWF and a number of people have emailed Johannes directly. Quite apart from his photographic and design skills what always strikes me with Johannes is how genuine he is in getting to know his clients, so that he can apply his talents to their specific To View More >>
I watched a video on DWF by Jesh de Rox ("Client Connections"). Everybody loves Jesh, and “Jesh loves everybody" ...

Johannes wrote a post last week about a restaurant going the extra mile, but in the wrong direction. I thought it was real food for thought ... so to speak. Justine pasted it on DWF and people got the point. But Adrienne reckoned it was a bit harsh – didn't the restaurant deserve marks for trying? Absolutely, and I'm sure Johannes was out to make a point rather than beat up on them. But... It's a harsh world. Your customers probably don't care how hard you try, whether you can make payroll, how much you like oysters.
