Guest Computer Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 My heart sank after hearing that. Such sad news! They were very much and still area big inspiration on me. :cry2: Some good covers yeah, but it seems like it could be the work of just one guy, how many guys were there? They must have had day jobs anyway, right? Freelance, baby... I think they where very small but generally alot of design studios that are doing cool things are small. Alot of the bigger companies just produce generic crap. TDR where kinda in the for front of graphic design for years. TDR didn't art direct wipeout, if its they where shit. Build, Universal Everything those guys I think came from TDR. A big fucking chunk of FUCKING GREAT design has just gone down the shitta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 TDR didn't art direct wipeout, if its they where shit. ? wiki says "The Designers Republic, known for its underground techno album covers, provided "visual candy" to Wipeout 3's graphics, designing the game's icons, billboards, color schemes, and custom typefaces" this is definitely lame news though. they were so incredibly electronic music and stylish, and had some awesomeawesome cover design.

khov Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 tDR is dead ? you're sure ? that's really sad. they are among the best designers of our time. But i notice that since the departure of matt pyke, tDR werent as mindblowing as they used to be. m.pyke : http://universaleverything.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moo duck Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 read the article. maybe this is good news instead ----I want to go back to what DR was,” he says of future plans. “Working hands-on and not through account managers. I’ve never liked that agency model - it’s not where creativity lies. DR accidentally ended up there in order to service bigger clients. I’m not being ungrateful to the people who ran the business side at DR – it wasn’t their fault. I’m glad we did it - it took getting there to make me realise that it wasn’t where I wanted to be.”---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosca Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 as a design student look forward to not getting a job in design (i know several designers all with 1sts from a very nice uni, all working in comet, dominos pizza and the like) and sad news indeed about tDR but then i lost my job last year and no one gave a fuck so...
