What We do And Why? The basic idea behind Lucid.org is for us to provide you a space for an online C.V. to allow you to promote your skills and for others to be able to use the skills for their projects. It allows you the freedom of freelancing with the combined advantage of being able to promote these skills under the Lucid.net brand. Think of it as a design house with franchise options!! Do we profit from your endeavours? In a word no, what we do is provided the space, ask that you contribute to the maintenance of that space and that is it. We do not earn commission on your work. For large scale projects initiated by Lucid.net we would pay you as freelancers, this allows us to bid for contracts which would be too large to create as an individual, and again support the community we came from. The idea is for the individuals involved to earn money from the projects we undertake, Lucid.org to be supported to allow other contributors to host their work and therefore be able to join in future projects. We also have plans to reach the local communities in the real world outside of the internet. You have a politics section, why? In the past 10 years funding for those with creative skills has been ever decreasing. If you or your artistic adventures are not up for sale then the established rule is it’s no good or inaccessible. This has meant for the large part creative people have often had to choose between what they would like to do artistically and what they must do commercially to survive. This has often brought about conflict. Do you stick to your personal morals, or do you feed yourself? This has also lead to many accusations of ‘selling out’, becoming conformist, losing faith in your work and all the other associated things which being a small cog in a big machine involves. All of which Lucid.org believes destroys the creative sprit, and thus the inspiration and motivation for it in the first place. People should be free to be creative, the old adage “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, has often been true. This is not to say there has been no works of excellent creativity produced, just more often than not that these have been the exception not the rule. We aim to make Lucid.net, via Lucid.org synonymous with innovative design as well as retaining the individual right to be creative.
