Evolving Traditions: 15 Years of Viget Internships

By www.viget.com
Published On :: Fri, 09 Aug 2024 09:30:00 -0400

This week we will bid farewell to our fifteenth cohort of summer interns. Ciel Park (UI Developer Intern), Faye Stover (Product Designer Intern), and Paul McKissock (Application Developer Intern) joined our team ten weeks ago and have been hard at work learning and growing, teaching and sharing, and iterating ever since – and so have we. 

Viget’s 15th Summer Internship Cohort: Faye Stover, Paul McKissock, Ciel Park (left to right)

At Viget we are committed to fostering curiosity and drive both for budding engineers and designers but also for our team of full-timers who are eager to learn themselves and flex their mentorship muscles. As we’ve shared over the years, the internship is one of our favorite traditions and while a lot has changed in fifteen years, that commitment remains the same. 

Here’s a quick look at three core aspects of the Viget internship that remain flexible. 

Cohort size and available roles.

We are not married to a specific number of interns. We recruit for and match interns with available mentors who serve as our interns’ dedicated advisors.

Working location. 

This summer our interns primarily worked from our Falls Church, Virginia headquarters. We required interns to work in the office for the first three weeks of the program and the last. During weeks four through nine they were able to work remotely two to three days a week. In the past the internship has been fully in-person and fully remote. 

Cross-discipline internship project. 

Interns can expect cross-discipline collaboration during their time at Viget but how exactly that takes shape remains flexible. In years past interns spent 8 weeks coming up with, designing and building a working product. This year, with our smaller cohort of interns, we opted for a smaller approach to the group project. The project was pre-defined, scoped by our advisors, and happened over just two short weeks.   

Earlier this summer we hosted an internship alumni panel and invited Hayley McMillon (2022 Summer Cohort), Andrea Brucculeri (2019), Gabriel Kay (2019), and Vigenesh Gopalan (2018) to discuss lessons learned at Viget, life after Viget, underrated skills worth developing, tips for remote collaboration and more. The event was open to all and both current staff and other alums sat in on the moderated panel discussion. It was awesome, and everyone – long-timers and interns alike – left feeling inspired. This is my favorite aspect of the internship, our alumni network, and how our interns graduate to be active contributors.

Summer 2024 Internship Alumni Panel

I’m looking forward to staying in touch with Ciel, Faye, and Paul and I cannot wait to see all the wonderful things they accomplish. 

Does this sound like an experience you want to be a part of? We’ll host our 16th cohort of college students and recent grads next summer. Bookmark our internship page to keep an eye on future opportunities.

Why the Cheapest Hourly Rate Often isn’t the Cheapest Option

By www.viget.com
Published On :: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 10:30:00 -0400

When choosing an outsourcing partner for design and development, many decision-makers naturally start by comparing hourly rates. At first glance, it seems logical: a lower hourly rate means lower project costs, right?

The truth is, hourly rates can be a misleading metric. The actual cost of outsourcing is much more complex than the dollar amount tied to hourly rates. In this article, we’ll explore why focusing on hourly rates can obscure the true cost of a project and why it’s crucial to dig deeper when evaluating potential partners. I’ll end by suggesting a few things to focus on instead of or in addition to the hourly rate.

Efficiency vs. Hourly Rates

Imagine you have two outsourcing options for a specific task:

  • Pat: A developer who charges $100/hour and takes 3 hours to complete the task. 
  • Terry: A developer who charges $200/hour but only takes 2 hours to complete the same task.

Pat’s hourly rate is lower and Pat’s total cost looks cheaper. The total cost for Pat is $300, while for Terry, it's $400. But there's more at play than the hourly breakdown.

Terry may be faster because they are more skilled, experienced, or familiar with the problem. They produce a higher-quality output that might need little to no revision, while Pat may deliver work requiring additional oversight, rework, or fine-tuning.

This brings us to a crucial point: efficiency and expertise often outweigh raw hourly cost.

Hidden Costs of Oversight and Management

The cost of managing lower-cost teams can quickly add up. Inexperienced or less skilled developers often require more:

  • Guidance and supervision: You or your in-house team may have to spend significant time managing or directing work, which adds hidden costs to the project.
  • Rework and revisions: Less-experienced teams may not get it right the first time, and even small mistakes can snowball into major issues that need to be fixed later on.
  • Communication barriers: Some outsourcing teams might not be as effective in communicating progress or roadblocks, which can slow down the entire project and lead to missed deadlines.

Each of these factors chips away at the apparent "savings" from choosing a lower hourly rate.

Quality: The Long-Term Investment

Design and development work (insourced or outsourced) is an investment, not just a cost. High-quality work may come with a higher hourly rate, but the long-term savings are substantial:

  • Fewer bugs and technical debt: A more experienced development team will likely deliver better code, resulting in fewer bugs and long-term maintenance issues. A more experienced designer is more likely to think through and design for all edge cases, filling in all the gaps.
  • Faster delivery: A skilled team is often more familiar with best practices, frameworks, and tools that allow them to complete tasks efficiently.
  • Scalability: High-quality designers and developers think ahead and design systems that can scale with your needs, preventing costly future refactoring.

The Cost of "Cheap" Work

Sometimes, "cheap" work ends up being the most expensive in the long run. Lower-quality outsourcing might require you to:

  • Hire another team to fix or rebuild the work.
  • Delay product launches due to unanticipated project overruns.
  • Damage customer trust by releasing subpar products riddled with bugs or poor design.

In some cases, teams that seem "affordable" may not have the expertise to foresee potential pitfalls, which means costly issues arise later in the process.

Calculating the Total Cost of Ownership

To truly compare outsourcing options, decision-makers should consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), not just the hourly rate. TCO includes:

  • Efficiency: How quickly and effectively can the team complete the work?
  • Oversight: How much management and guidance will the team require?
  • Quality: Will the output meet your expectations, or will it need significant revisions or rework?
  • Maintenance: What will it cost to maintain or scale the system after the initial work is done?

A team with a higher hourly rate but lower total costs in these areas may be the more cost-effective choice in the long run. For a more complete example:

  • Pat: Your $100/hr developer completes a task in 3 hours ($300), requires 1 hour of oversight from an in-house Senior Developer ($150), and eventually needs to be refactored or rebuilt entirely ($1,000).
  • Terry: Your $200/hr developer completed a task in 2 hours ($400) based on a 10-minute overview from an in-house Senior Developer ($15), and makes an above-and-beyond measurable impact on page performance (priceless).

The best long-term investment becomes more clear when you consider all the variables. 

Conclusion: Think Beyond Hourly Rates

When investing in design or development, your goal should be to maximize ROI, not minimize hourly rates. When comparing outsourcing options, focus on the bigger picture—their efficiency, quality, and the hidden costs of oversight and management. Consider how your prospective partners measure up in terms of:

  • Results: can they point to clear results of their work in which they played some critical role?
  • References: would previous clients choose to hire them again (indicating they are worth their cost)?
  • Communication: do they respond quickly and with clarity?
  • Expertise: do they provide opinions and advice or are they simply order takers?
  • Relevance: is their prior experience directly relevant to your needs? 
  • If not, do they have a track record for navigating novelty well?

The right team might not always be the cheapest on paper, but they’ll deliver the greatest long-term value. Outsourcing isn’t about getting work done cheaply—it’s about getting it done right, and more often than not, the old mantra “you get what you pay for” holds.

Graphic Hunters: Pushing the Boundaries of Sports Visual Identity

By abduzeedo.com

Graphic Hunters: Pushing the Boundaries of Sports Visual Identity

abduzeedo

Explore how Graphic Hunters’ visual identity redefines sports branding through innovative design inspired by fashion and art.

Graphic Hunters, a Dutch studio dedicated to sports branding, isn’t playing by the typical design rulebook. Instead, their newly crafted visual identity steps outside the confines of traditional sports aesthetics, introducing elements drawn from fashion and high design. The result is a high-impact, versatile identity that positions Graphic Hunters as a creative club worth joining—whether as a client or a collaborator.

A New Playbook for Sports Branding

At the heart of Graphic Hunters’ approach is the idea that the sports industry deserves a more refined and exclusive visual experience. This belief is woven into every part of their branding, which Monga Design and Vogau led with a clear vision. The goal was to create a system that balances functionality with creative exploration, breaking conventions while still delivering practical, adaptable solutions for various applications.

This innovative take on visual identity isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a strategy aimed at redefining the brand’s place in the market. Graphic Hunters has always described itself as a team hungry for new challenges, and now, their brand identity reflects that spirit. The new look aims to make the studio stand out in the sports arena and beyond, appealing to clients and team members who value originality and impact.

Graphic Hunters’ identity combines familiar elements from the sports world—like motion and heat—with unexpected treatments. The design team drew inspiration from fashion and abstract art to create a visual language that transcends typical sports branding. This cross-pollination of ideas manifests in several core elements:

1. Typographic Experimentation: Instead of relying on traditional sports typefaces, the team played with a variety of fonts that feel bold and contemporary. Typography serves as both structure and disruption, bringing energy to each layout.

2. Photographic Treatments: The identity includes photographs that have been creatively manipulated, breaking up the grid and adding an element of surprise. This technique turns static images into dynamic design features, echoing the constant motion of sports.

3. Grid System and Stickers: To keep the brand’s applications cohesive yet flexible, a structured grid underpins the design. However, this is cleverly offset by playful elements like stickers and graphical interventions, which keep the brand feeling fresh and exciting.

One of the biggest challenges was making the visual system adaptable yet creatively open. Sports branding often leans into themes of power and motion, but Graphic Hunters wanted to do more. The result is a brand that’s equally at home on a team jersey or a digital campaign, seamlessly moving between refined, impactful moments and bold, playful expressions. This adaptability speaks to the studio’s ethos of being a “creative club,” where everyone is encouraged to push the boundaries.

Another essential aspect was research. The design team explored references beyond the sports realm, looking at high fashion and experimental graphic design. This broader inspiration palette allowed Graphic Hunters to create something genuinely unique for the industry. The identity’s experimental typography and abstract motifs capture the feeling of heat and energy—core elements of sports—while grounding them in a sophisticated design language.

Elevating Sports Design Beyond the Field

By combining these unexpected references with a strong foundation of sports elements, Graphic Hunters has crafted a visual identity that is both striking and functional. It stands as a testament to the idea that sports design can be more than bold fonts and action shots. It can be a narrative of innovation and exclusivity, appealing to an audience that appreciates both the adrenaline of sports and the sophistication of high design.

Graphic Hunters’ reimagined branding proves that sports-focused design can be just as experimental and refined as any high-fashion brand. It’s a visual identity that elevates the sports studio into a space where design meets performance, art meets action, and innovation becomes the new norm. As the brand continues to grow, this identity will serve as a powerful statement of their ambition: to bring high-impact, original design to the world of sports, one project at a time.
