Spencer Nugent, one of the designers showing off their skills in The Brief DVD, runs a website over at www.idsketching.com that everyone interested in industrial design should check out. One thing that he has been doing that everyone as a designer should be doing, is sketching every day. Even if it is just a quick thumbnail sketch to fire the sketching neurons…nothing helps your sketching ability more than practice.

Living in the digital age comes with many truths.  One of them being that if you create a DVD and publish it to the world, it is going to be ripped and posted to the Torrents and Usenet Groups.

While I understand that this is inevitable, I would like to put out a kind plea to anyone that is purchasing The Brief DVD for the purpose of posting it for free distribution: This is a self-funded project.  All the time put forth for the creation of this DVD has been volunteered by the Designers, Editors, and Musicians involved.  Any money that is made is being split between all parties involved.

Please, if you are posting The Brief DVD for free, I am asking kindly that you don’t so that the hard work put out by these people is not overlooked.

Thank you!
