tsumikYou know it boggles my mind on how much people believe what they want to believe. I'm sitting here thinking about various design sites, design companies, and artist and how so many of them bereft of so little talent in doing things right land such big clients and big pay outs.
I guess I'm a tad bitter cause I'm dealing with photoshop mockups that were put together so poorly I'd spend three times as much time trying to fix it then just rebuilding the whole thing from scratch. And the gal for this person to claim to be a creative director.
I won't even begin to point out the four billion amateur mistakes. Yet I can see someone saying that about my design skills I guess. I'm sure along the way I've done some pretty crappy mistakes. And some higher up has gone... "how does this person claim to be a designer?"
But in light of that I guess there is always someone like me around to have to fix those mistakes so the business type people who ring lead the dog and pony show get all the praise and money.
This also leads me to another thought... how much more advantage do beautiful people get? How much help, patience from others, and bending of the rules do they get. I mean we're only human but man would it be nice to level that playing field somehow.
