    "Use the same colors."

    • and for the record I UPVOTED YOU out of pity for having to deal with such bad clientsgrafician
    • It was the agency that was giving the poor direction... and believe me I brought up the issue of looking like the competition... but agencies are never wrong!canoe
    • Look, I don't have a problem asking other designers about a typeface. You've asked for help on QBN. What gives? What's the problem? Can you move on?canoe
    • For clarity, I've been here since 2002, canoe handle is 10 years old, since then 12% of my topics (20/165) have regarded typeface identification.canoe
    • Do those statistics match up to your posting standards? Anyways, I checked out your insta and I love how much fun you have with your work, makes me yearn for...canoe
    • ...the years my mind wasn't bogged down in the dynamics of handling commercial work, ya know, like this Mazda campaign I'm working on.canoe
    • Sometimes I wonder how I got this far without 'knowing shit about shit. Buy why question it? I landed a job at BBDO 20 years ago & still work on national brandscanoe
    • You understand irony? My point is, you don't know me, and you're not going to make me feel a certain way about myself by projecting your insecurities my way.canoe
    • Or whatever it is that compels you to keep harassing me and my worthiness as a designer.canoe
    • I just assumed you're taking a piss at us and our time when given this much experience you still don't know basic shit.grafician
    • Then again I know veteran CDs with awards that only know how to use Photoshop and nothing else...grafician
    • I'm sorry you feel that way, but your trolling and judgements land on deaf ears. You're better than this...canoe
