Credit where credits due!
I'm going to have a little whinge here about the way things are run in the corporate world... I was asked by my former employer to develop an application in Flash that enabled a user to upload their photo to a NW (new weekly) magazine layout, and edit the headlines therefore personalising their own magazine cover.. they could then send the cover to a friend or enter a weekly competition. The appication has been running for almost a year now with many people using it. Here's the pisser... It just won an award in the recent Awwwards (web awards) for "most innovative use of technology"... I was stoked... but then i found out that i (and my employer) recieved NO CREDIT WHAT SO EVER!!... the credit went to an agency i had never heard of who apparenlty came up with the idea?? How annoying!
