Comments on: 10 guerrilla marketing tactics for designers http://www.guerrillafreelancing.com/10-guerrilla-marketing-tactics-for-designers/ Valuable advice from deep within the trenches of freelancing Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:54:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Fredrik Stai http://www.guerrillafreelancing.com/10-guerrilla-marketing-tactics-for-designers/comment-page-1/#comment-1240 Fredrik Stai Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:48:57 +0000 http://www.guerrillafreelancing.com/?p=113#comment-1240 I love the ingenuity of your ideas and think many of them are great. But a word of advice: I think as designers, we should always consider the consequences of our ideas. #4 and #5 may sound fun on paper, but I'm surprised no one else have pointed out that they're highly unethical. #4: Not many people go there any more in this digital age, but the library continues to have an important role as a FREE collection of mankind's knowledge and wisdom, untainted by commercial interests. Do you really want to be analogue spamming one of our oldest institutions? #5: Taking advantage of societies most vulnerable citizens for your own profit reeks of bad taste. As a designer, is that how you want to be perceived? I realize there's a Dog Eat Dog culture in the US, but that's just going too far. Sorry if I'm being harsh, but I believe as designer we all could benefit from getting better at realizing the consequences of our actions. I love the ingenuity of your ideas and think many of them are great.
