    It has come to my attention that Unions are really passive, passive to the point where there is n longer any transparency between member and union. When you sign-up with a union you believe you are protected against abuse but are you?

    My research states no. There are large companies in South Africa that still have no union representation at all. This is indeed interesting considering that it is within in our constitution that we have a right to be a member of a union.

    As mentioned in my first blog post, Standing Out From the Crowd, Red Giant is a venture in which we aimed to be remembered. One of the primary image-related things we focused on in order to achieve that goal was great business card design.

    A full 2 weeks were spent researching, brainstorming, designing and redesigning our business cards, in order to make sure they were perfect. We wanted to receive great reactions every time we handed ...
