You've gotta love Queensland. Well, actually you don't... but for the ad land entertainment it provides. Again the serious state has hit the news with the Advertising Standards Bureau banning the ad for the Queensland Theatre Company's latest production of Romeo and Juliet.

It's our last e-news of the year and while the team breathes a sign of relief ad land is in overdrive.

We extend our sympathies to you all.

Congratulations. You've made it through those first all-important years of your career. And when asked, you can now confidently answer "I am a designer/copywriter/animator etc" without the fear of someone tapping you on the shoulder and quietly escorting you from the premises. You now have more responsibility, more creative control – and you’re more confused than ever.

Whilst they suffered in their itchy suits and stiff collars, I was free to express myself in whatever way I chose, to dress like a unique individual. Just like everyone else at work.
