I have been thinking about this question for the last couple of weeks. I have been working with a client who has a rather limited exposure to the world of design other than some interaction with a freelancer (who works within MS publisher) that, from what I can tell has had no actual training. Without getting into too many details, the client is blissfully unaware of how to work with a vendor in a typical or even ideal manner. At one point things had spun horribly out of control with the client rejecting every comp we presented with no justification other than they were not bright enough and the logo needed to be at least two times bigger. There were far more issues than this that I would not like to get into here, however at this point every bone in my body was screaming run, run as fast as you can and let someone else (anyone else) tackle this mess.

有人曾这样说过：在一个落后的国家里，时间是最先显露出来
的东西，而在一个睿智的国度里，时间消失了。 这里所说的时间就是伦理性的时间，传统社会成员
对具体时节十分看重，认为岁时节日有超常的时间力量。而在开明国度里，时间失去了魔力，因此人
们淡化了对时间的情感知觉，时间并没有真的消失，消失的是附加在时间之上的人文观念。

A person once said: in a backward country, Time is most prominently displayed, while in a developed country, Time seems to have disappeared. Time here refers to the rational understanding of time. People in more traditional socieities place emphasis on time, believing that the passing of time and events have a metaphysical power. Whereas in modernised socieities, time has lost its mystical power, and the sensitiveness to time has been diluted. It is not Time that has disappeared, but the cultural values and concepts that have. 

funny stuff.

john check this out; something like what you mentioned, but not really.

Really interesting project…I think this is a good thing.

I like how it relates to what we are talking about with userbility for a portfolio website.
Everything is on one surface and you are gliding across it, rather than a stack of info. You also see the history and context.
