Monday, June 22, 2009
Ah the age-old debate. To show prices or not to show prices on your website. There are pros and cons to both and Go Media has experimented with both in the past.

Tell me your thoughts.

It’s been a while since I posted my last review, so I’ll just cover what I did last week and last month (just briefly). Sometimes you think you know what you’ll be doing in a given month, but then suddenly things take a sudden sharp turn. FAIL sticker is a perfect example. We [...]

Thursday, February 19, 2009
We were joking around at the Go Media office one day and our IT guy Dave was talking about how cool it would be to have a FAIL sticker to stick on random stuff.

Friday, February 6, 2009
By now you should have heard about the fiasco surrounding Shepard Fairey's Obama HOPE poster. It's been all over the national media and every designer should pay close attention to it.
