Right.  What’s a Cubit?

Tuesday, November 11, 2003

I’ve been trying to get a producer at work to get me some graphics specs so I can properly deliver some design elements to him.

After countless failed attempts he finally tells me, “You know, whatever, as long as it’s really big.  You know, like, thirty six… thousand… zigga… ziggalas.”

My favorite is: “can you whip up something cool first then I can provide you with direction”

You know, us non-artistic people just assume that you artistic people don’t like a lot of direction.  Don’t you prefer to just be free with your ideas?

I have to admit that I’ve probably said some dumb things to design staff.

But none as bad as the time that my 75 year old boss told a guy that the perfectly innocent (I forget what it was) design he had just submitted reminded him of oral sex.

Just don’t end up with a Stonehenge in danger of being trod upon by dwarfs.

Then there are those who believe that you can do everything known to man. No matter the circumstance, you know how to do it regardless.

Of course with the advent of the internet and various technologies it’s easier than ever to learn something new, but just because our position says “graphic designer” doesn’t mean we can do everything that deals ‘exclusively’ with design work.

Everyone has room for improvement and learning is an everyday function of life.

“it just looks a little dentisty to me.....”

I worked at a place where one of the senior administrators consistently failed to provide direction. He instead relied on, “I don’t know… Work your magic.”

Noah. Riiiiight.

My favourite is when a client says, “I want something really cutting edge… y’know?”
