OK! enough with the designer shit already!

You know that I AM a "real" graphic designer and take great offense when you speak ill of my fellows....!

Yes, I know that there are good designers and bad designers BUT!, if the clients don't spell out what their specific needs are and hire someone with no experience and no references, then you can't really blame anyone but yourselves for bad management....

I mean really, I get what I expect from someone I hire to do a major task for $300 knowing that the real world price would be more than 100X or $30,000 for the same -- problem is, in the porn world, nobody wants to pay

The operative word in the above described cases should be "wanna be" deigners - real designer such as myself with over 30 years experience are worth every penny we get...! that's why my clients such as AT&T and EXXON are so successful and well recognized around the globe....

Just hire me and I'll really stick it to you (but then again, I DO deliver....) -

Which is why I selected producers =-)

I actually used to be the Production Manager for the largest large format digital printer in the U.S.
People would always complain about the Digital (design) depo but I knew you get what you give =-)

It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they ARE so talented. With their ability to create you'd think they could manage to weave a good lie when they want to blow you off or something.

Wait, I thought we were talking about design here, not "personal fulfillment services"

Oh Man! Now I feel like an idiot for sure. Sometimes ppl do get sick and sometimes life does screw with a person. The majority of this industry, (not including the Big Boys who have actual paid staff) are small companies like ours, and trying hard to stay ahead of our growth.

A head cold, broken toe, or plumbing emergency, can set any 2 person team back 3 steps, at any moment. Guess all a person can do is keep plugging away, or learn to design.

Personally, I'm about out of memory space in my old brain! :eek:

You need to add "Models" to that list You wouldn't believe how many models can't get a ride to the airport or forget where the airport is on the day of shoots...
