Here's to the lazy ones.
Here's to the lazy ones.
The standards.
The conformists.
The peacekeepers.
The assists to the big scores.
The ones who don’t see the opportunities.
They're not fond of risk.
And they live their life by the status quo.
You can ignore them, forget about them, chastise them,
abuse them, abandon or acquire them.
About the only thing you can't do is envy them.
Because they are the forgotten ones.
They copy. They mimic. They quote.
They follow. They recreate. They absorb.
They push their chosen idol forward.
Maybe they just have to be supporters.
How else can they stare at an empty canvas only to recreate another’s work of art?
Or sit in silence and wish for the life of a leader?
Or gaze at possibility and see only a hurdle too high?
We have roles for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the lazy ones, we see a tragedy.
Because the people who are lazy enough to think
they can’t change the world, are the ones who watch others do it.

Info design goodness
Good Magazine's information design showing Bush Administration's tactics for the war
"The Rogue MBA Program"
It started as a brief mention in Conde' Nast Portfolio, now the Creative Brand Management track at the Brandcenter is beginning to get head nods...

It hits home...
This represents our crisis finally trickling down to touch those of us previously unaffected or invincible to our crumbling economy. This ad speaks to me in a number of ways.1. Wachovia just handed their business over to WPP. This is an example of the work that came out assuring customers their money was safe with a bank that knew how to navigate the tumultuous landscapes of changing economies. Wrong.
2. Wachovia was just purchased by Citigroup. No doubt very soon I will be a card carrying Citibank customer and one of our most prominent financial institutions will cease to be. Wachovia will be vapor.

Best case scenario.
What we'd all love to hear coming into our business and at one point was a genuine possibility.
