It probably happens more than people think and published about online. It's something that is in the back for your mind if you're a freelancer...no it's not winning a D&AD yellow pencil. It's the fear of your site being ripped off completely and not knowing what to do about it.
Lets make it clear, I'm not talking about subtle differences and taking design inspiration from a site. I'm talking about blatant site rip offs...

Book #THREE by Brand Nu review
Posted on Thursday April 29, 2010
Last week, Radim Malinic who works under the creative label of Brand Nu released his latest publication of work in his third book titled Book #THREE at Barrio Central in London, Soho. I was lucky enough to be invited to the exclusive book launch.
Freelancing abroad as a designer
Posted on Monday March 29, 2010
I have always flirted with the idea of working abroad, wondering what it would be like as a freelancer. Is it as glamorous as it makes out to be?
When you think about freelancing abroad you're probably thinking of sitting somewhere that overlooks a beautiful picturesque view, favourite tipple in one hand and a laptop in the other. As freelancers we have the freedom of working anywhere in the world, our office is just really a laptop and internet connection.
As some of you may know, I was recently given an opportunity to contract abroad, Dusseldorf in Germany to be exact. Granted, not as glamorous location as it could be, nor is it the first place you think for a holiday or city break. I worked for Sapient contracted on-site at Vodafone on the Vodafone 360 project. You may have seen the above-the-line adverts in the UK promoting the Vodafone 360 handsets and services.
So 2000 and late!

Hello, this is my obligatory welcome and introduction post. I'm so 3008. You so 2000 and late. (taken from Black Eye Peas - Boom Boom Boom lyrics) As the title suggests adding a blog to my site has been a long time coming so what has taken me so long?
Fear and Time are two biggest factors delaying why I should publish a blog. I know and have read countless benefits of having one but I continue to put it back.
- Fear: has held me back as I was afraid no one would visit, no one would comment and whatever I had to say the topic would have been covered by someone much more opinionated and knowledgeable than myself. Ultimately I don't want to fail.
- Time: Having to learn a CMS from scratch takes time and when you can only spare a few hours every day in the evening is tough when you work and travel in any job. Trying to dedicate a chunk of time to write feels like i'm at school, English lessons were not my favorite classes.
