Fuhgettaboutit
~ 09 October 2004 ~
I generally don’t pen articles about smaller stuff like this, but I thought I’d spend a few lines to recognize the impact of reader feedback.
A few weeks back I posted a request for design help. Several of you responded to the call with tutorials and links. One of you (yes you, Hugh) provided a helpful tutorial with “open source” design files.
So what’s the impact, you ask? It’s right here. Hugh’s tutorial and artwork — as well as feedback from the rest of you — influenced the pieces included in AdvancedMD’s latest campaign, “Fuhgettaboutit.” In the end, a few simple reader comments here on Authentic Boredom helped create a campaign that will be seen by thousands of physicians across the nation.
Who knew?
