Old Mutual Entrepreneurs' Guide

At today's Net Prophet conference, Old Mutual launched their Entrepreneurs' Guide as part of their "Do Great Things" campaign. I was honoured to be one of the entrepreneurs who contributed content to the guide, so it was great to see the final product finally launched to the public about six months after I was interviewed.  The project was the brainchild of Jack Kruger, head of Old Mutual Digital and the notable omission from the credits list on the site, and took a lot of work from a big team to put together.  You'll find my contribution at DoGreatThings.co.za/duncanforrest


Minor gripe: I'm generally much more comfortable behind the lens than in front of it, so it's not often I like pictures of myself.  The stills for this project were taken by the brilliant Clare Louise Thomas, who managed to pull off a miracle by creating a number of pictures I really like!  Thanks, Clare.  My small gripe with the web design is that the person in the screen grab above isn't actually me - it's my mirror image.  I undertand why designers feel the need to flip images, but it's always bugged me when it's noticeable, and now that I've been flipped it's even more so! :)
