One thing i've noticed is an increase in frustrated designers whining like bitches.
The reality of the situation is that we are whores...end of story. You do what your trick wants or you don't get paid.
We are not artists.
What we do is subjective.
There is no right answer, whatever Dieter Rams says.
99% of what we do is diluted by the CD or AD or Client or the fucking dog."Oh, but, but you wouldn't tell a surgeon how to do your heart surgery" damn fucking right. If it goes wrong I die.
If the client changes the size of the logo nobody dies.If you don't like the industry, change industries and get a job you do like. Get up every day and want to go to work and while you're there work hard.

That's a pretty sad outlook I have to say.set - I'm lucky to have *some* clients who generally accept my professional opinion and advice. You're only a whore if you allow yourself to be.set

- and other work you just give whatever nonsense they ask for and take your money. Can't argue with stupid...set

- Whatever. Everyone whines about their job at some point and by this rationale any profession, not just design, makes you a whore. I bet you're fun in meetings.MrT
