Interesting, although unremarkable and common, this reading warns of the dangers of working for the corporate or charity companies around the world. Corporate, as most people know, work off system of rules and hierarchy with strict visions of their company and their corresponding image. I have worked with corporations trying to design ads for their products and it is as restricting and even more frustrating than the article illustrates. More often than not, the marketing part of the company has a completely different vision of the ad than do their art directors and more often than not, the marketing aspect has no experience with the actual design details. Working between those barriers prove to be tough and therefore, limiting. The dangers and benefits of working with charity, however, was a relatively new concept, although easy to comprehend, when considering the economic implications of what charity is-non profit. In this case it is a balance for all graphic designs to weigh the benefits of either side.
