Ok, Don't mean to whinge, and can I first say that alot of design that I see around this forum does not relate to what I am about to say but:
Whenever we recieve artwork from our client's that a US agency has done it is generally SHIT!! No thought for layout composition, the type styles are all over the shop and choice of secondry colour is .... well... shocking.
I have just been briefed in to do a new project and we have to redo the whole thing.
What's going on.?
Rant over

Everytime I get artwork from other people I end up doing it myself... US or not!
It just feels safer..

Not sure if there is a higher ratio of bad designers over here, but just more designers in general. Which means there will be more bad ones as a result. I've seen my fair share of wonky foreign pieces.

i'm a canadian living in germany and i must say that their sense of clothing style is pretty shitty for the most part. nothing against the german people or anything though. of course, the good skate clothes cost twice as much over here so it's rare to see someone wearing a nice pair of Circas or a cool hoodie

i can't see any fashion in skater clothes - to me it looks all the same since i can remember. want to point me to some outstanding examples besides cool tshirts and baggy jeans?

I'd rather have my ragged set of choppers than a fucking hollywood mouth of fake ivory and fake cheddary grin to boot.

bad clothes aren't a typical german thing. yes, it is well known that our neighbours in the north have some bad habits in clothes and music - but if u ever jumped out of the car in the middle of the nowhere anyplace on earth, you will see lots of people wearing bad clothes.
