what do you do when everything you make is hated by your non-designer superiors? but you (as in i) think the designs are pretty decent. sad thing is that all your superiors are non-designers but they think they know what they are talking about.
do i look for a new job? do i kill my soul and just give them the bigger logo they want?

be a man, stand up to them and sell them you're work.
Falling that, just weep.

i do try to sell the ideas. but it seems like they always have some "powerpoint presentation" they saw once and want the designs to look "just as good as that one"

is your superiors hot female?

stand up for yourself, get your ass kicked and told to eat the shit or leave, get back to your seat and make the logo bigger

Do you get paid by the hour?
if yes give them the bigger logo but take your time as you have to "redo" it
largerif no give them the bigger logo and look for a new job..but reserve the "i told you so " factor when they come back to the orginal logo

i don't know maybe i am just a bad designer. admitting is the first step i guess.

everyone needs to watch the "wall-mart" episode of south park. All the answers of the world are hidden in the episode.

just a bad day. or an awful awful day (for the lack of a better word).
i like tony's idea. i need to go sit in a corner and weep.

dude binary, i know u r good, why let those stupid fucks let u down. Tell that bitch hot boss of yours to shut up and let u decide what is good for them.
- zedvox0
she is hot?
well there is only one thing left to do.

i wish it was that easy. i have told them what is good and what is not. but thats the problem with a profession like graphic design. everyone has an opinion and they are pretty strong ones too.
if i were an accountant, it would be a bit different i guess.

it's okay to weep, but not about work.. just tell them how you feel about the situation and i'm sure they will understand

u need to carry a bow around with u.

do you not have a creative director to back you up? I spent a year as the only designer in a firm and i slowly found myself becoming submissive, and it showed in my work, you want to do stuff you are proud of so i think you know what you have to do.

i know exactly what you mean tony. i am the only designer here i haven't made something that i am proud of in quite a while.
