Social Media
I am a late adopter of facebook, twitter and even blogging. The only reason why we started BACE, was so that we could be the one holding the conversation and discuss topics that matter to us.

The concept aims to facilitate advertising and design as instruments for social and political change.

On a personal note, I would rather be contributing my design services to social causes that I believe in, than to haggle pennies with for-profit businesses and clients.
