22 year old Graphic Designer from Florida. Mecha, Games, Memes, DnD and Design
Wow! That looks like it was done professionally!
I sent a sketch of the design I am making for a client’s business card. In the email, I asked questions about the composition, what images they want included, and how detailed they want things to be drawn.
Client: I don’t care. I want you to do it. You are capable enough.
Me: Are you sure? It...
Client: We love the final design, but there’s a problem.
Me: Concerning the design?
Client: No, concerning your work. You gave us exactly what we asked for; we were hoping you would be more creative.
Wake up at god-awful early
to go to classes in a dead-end major
that I’m not good enough to get into the upper level
to get a job that won’t pay much
competing against artists that are better
on projects that take all my time
to get a mediocre grade
and my girlfriend has to act proud
because I’m an emotional mess
that continually upsets her
which makes me disappointed in myself
for being a spastic and judgmental prick
for which all my friends think I’m psycho
while they pursue actual careers
in legitimate and difficult classes
and they actually get their work done, unlike me
so they can be involved and build a resume
which i can’t seem to get together
because i can barely coordinate my time to finish assignments
and go to the gym to do piss-poor workouts
because I quit the only sport I was good at
and I feel like a slob when i look in the mirror
because I don’t have the self discipline and effort
to diet and exercise constantly and consistently
and leaves me wholly physically undesirable to anyone
so in a weak effort I go to the dining hall
and try to eat what shitty healthy food there is
because I can’t keep enough track of my money to do otherwise
and at the end of the day
I go back to my shitty cramped room
with my sloppy, asshole roommates
who I hear constantly drool disgustingly over women
and yet are still more involved than I
and when I get home
at 3 AM
after finishing a half assed project
with baggy eyes
just to sleep in my clothes
and do it all over again
and the only thing that makes me happy is
making sketches that aren’t worth a damn,
cartoons that I’m probably too old for,
my girlfriend who does her best to be proud,
tastelessly loud metal and house music,
and video games that further my time-management problems
I won’t stop fighting, which means I can’t lose.
I will overcome this. I’ll overcome everything. Because, i still have me, and thats all i need. I can. No matter what. My parents gave me a life, and a spot in a beautiful family tree, and I will prove myself. To everyone. To the world. Because I’m not giving up. And I don’t need anyone. Because as long as I believe in myself, even if I hate myself, I can win. And I will. I will fight and fight until I am where I want to be, and I am who I want to be.

put in the tags what your goals for next year are
Me: We can print the design as soon as I have a high quality version of your logo. Can you send me the original file?
Client: Sure, I’ll send it over now.
The client sends a 400x350px jpeg.
Me: This isn’t high enough quality to print; it won’t look good on the card. Do you have a bigger version?
Client: Can’t you just drag the little square to make it bigger? That’s what I do in Word.
Anonymous asked:
Well, a few things, maybe:
a) Engineering: Maybe Civic Engineering or urban planning. I like how things are laid out in cool cities…
b) Architecture: I like it when stuff is pretty, but also has cool function, and I think living spaces reallyyyy affect how someone feels in those spaces working, living, etc.
c) Chemistry: My parents are both chemists, and I have kind of a knack for science
d) Advertising: basically dumbed-down, more business-y graphic design.
Anonymous asked:
Obsession?: Probably graphic design work or comic books. Depends on how you define “obsession” I guess.
A client calls me up regarding a design that was finalized a week ago.
Client: I like the layout, but can you dial up the cool factor?
Me: Can you help me understand what you mean by that?
Client: I don’t know, just make it cooler. But don’t change it too much - my boss has already approved it.
Me: I’m not sure how to help. Can you give me some guidance?
Client: Yes, just dial up the cool factor.
The client then hangs up.
