I just spent 2 months working on a huge project for big client... Did all my best. I got payed yes, but just for now they decided not to go with work i did...
Sometimes i think its better to work in McDonalds.

McDonalds is actually a tough place to work. Trust me.

you got paid, take the money and run. No room for ego in this biz.

^yep...
... grab another project and get going... you got paid and you can toss it in the portfolio... pick your lower-lip up... it's leaving a trail of spit through the thread. ;)

I always enjoy designing stuff more to put in my folio...than to see it go up on the web. The version that gets used invariably gets massacred by the client...so why stress about it?

sure, i will put it to portfolio.. but still, if it was online - that would be better.

design jobs always suck.
it's like being the dentist but having all people telling you what tooth is good to pick.
fuck 'em.
- Witt0
that didn't make any sense i know. so... blame the dutch for example.
- _salisae_0
did they give you a reason?
- senseg0
Yeh, they told me the style is wrong..
But during two months they were happy and i really ejoyed working on that,
Im so pissed off so im thinking to get a one week vocation or something.

maybe if they'd have paid cash for the work they wouldn't be so keen to just chuck it away.
Money represents an investment and a commitment by bothe the clients and you.
Stick the good version in your portfolio, though.
Most of the work I do gets mashed up by the client and their development team. I've ended up being thick skinned about it.
