or in other words, go fuck yourself
Mar. 8th, 2005 11:19 amI have been designing for at least the last 10 years.
I have been designing professionally for at least the last 7.
I have experiance on PCs and Macs, with Pagemaker and Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator.
I remember when it was Aldus Pagemaker.
I have produced work that was seen on a regional level.
I have produced everything from a 3.5x2.5" shelftalker to a 15x25' billboard, and nearly everything in between.
I have created origional art for publication.
I have created work for print and for web. I have created work that has done both at the same time.
I have created designs for non-traditional surfaces, (t-shirts, pens.)
I painted a sheep.
I have worked on systems only stable enough to hold one program open at a time, and only for about 15 minutes at a clip.
I remember the days of Paste Up. When we still used hot wax to affix ads into a mechanical comp for the newspaper.
I have sucessfully designed under deadline by the seat of my pants, and keep coming back for more.
So when I spend hours working on an ads for you, and then you decide, (in your infinate wisdom,) that the ad you just whipped up in 20 minutes in Publisher is far more suitable, realize you have just wasted everything that has come before.
That aside from being a personal dissappointment, it is a professional kick in the teeth.
And don't you dare ask me for any more last minute favors. At least not for a very long time.
