Talk:The Designers Republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't see it, unless the article is referring to how some of their art takes some inspiration from urban grafitti style? Seems a little presumptive to me; an example or two in the article that leaves little doubt about their "anti-establishment" and/or "controversial" status could clarify things a bit. --69.234.233.69 06:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree with what was said above.

Besides that: a mention of the ongoing struggle between constructive (larger clients) and de-constructive (Warp mostly) approaches in their designs, especially around 2000, prior to Michael Place's departure.

This article has way too much attempt at criticism and editorial analysis, not enough factual info. Nelson 09:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This article noodles off into commentary and yet somehow manages to try to cover DR without even a single snippet of all their incredibly influential work for Pop Will Eat Itself. The closest it comes is a Wipeout screenshot. Bollinger 20:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

As an added note, the main menus from DiRT seem to be rather DR inspired. Any way we can find out if DR did it? Bollinger 20:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

God their website is obnoxious :x Given their great work with things like wipeout you'd think they could come up with something better than a customer-deflecting flash site. Is there any other site with official information like what should be on their site? I can't find much of anything on there. --67.160.118.193 (talk) 13:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What?

Because of the anti-capitalist tendencies in its work, the company has a majority of its clients in the music and entertainment industries...

Does this really make any sense? The music and entertainment industries are not "anti-capitalist" by any stretch of the imagination, so I don't see how companies in these fields would be more receptive to stuff by TDR. Besides that, they're apparently doing a commercial for Coke now, so I'd recommend removing this sentence altogether.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AutechreIncunabula.jpeg

Image:AutechreIncunabula.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
