The
World is Flat: Epilogue!
In July, I got an email from a woman, Joanna, who was the editor of
Commonwealth
magazine in Taiwan. They were running a story about Friedman's
book and wanted to run the graphic facilitation above with
the article.
Sure, why not? We had an easy time negotiating, contracting and sending
the files. She was a great client paying on time, sending samples,
perfectly pleasant to work with. Our only small snag was the international
dialing codes back and forth between the US and Taiwan. Very minor
snag.
August the image found 50,000 pairs of eyes in the heads of Taiwanese
businesspeople.
Of course the moral of the story or the punchline to this is that
it perfectly illustrated the point of the book. The world is very
flat when a drawing I made in my 450 square foot apartment reaches
50,000 magazine readers on the other side of the world. And that the
drawing still communicates.
