Daily Rant
Welp, I have said that blogs are just online-bitching so I might as well vent. I try not to complain too much about work, since it is a paycheck that keeps me from shoving over the scary homeless dude on the bench outside and taking up permanent residence there but! there are just those repeated things that I can not shake.

I am a graphic designer. This means I actually went to college and took courses in how to make shit look good. Which is great, because I do just that every day. I do my besties to make ugly horrible real estate, look leasable. But, the brokers are NO help what-so-ever. My absolute favorite is when they take something perfectly fine and then decide to throw a whole bunch more crap in there, do their own re-design mock up and then follow it up with "or whatever you think is best.."

Let me tell you what I think is best: the first draft I gave you. Yes drafts are for tweaking, but let me assure you, they mostly go down hill from there when these guys get involved. I realize ads are expensive but trust me, no one is going to read that shit if I have to add so much in it's down to a 5pt font. Guess what? They won't read anything smaller than 24pt so less = more. I can't tell them that though. They insist on adding logos, bullet points, starburst stickers, and useless information until it's so mucked up it's not ever going near my portfolio.

Whatever you think is best.

Why don't you give me the grainiest picture you can find, take a 5kb logo off the web, and add 3 pages of text to an quarter page ad. Looks great!

I'm done here.
