  The title is not for those of you on this board (that know what you are doing) unless you have done the following:

  1. Create a multi-page document in illustrator.

  2. Dont even use layers for each page in your doc but instead lay it all out on the art board!! (grr)

  3. Outline every font knowing that the project will need to be updated and worked on in the future.

  4. Use google images for every image you use and see nothing wrong with it (OMG grrr.)

  5. When asked about it throw a fit about how you are the lead designer and nothing you do is wrong and then start ranting and yelling in another language NO ONE ELSE KNOWS!

  How you have made a living no one knows.

  Oh yeah and ps. my animators also caught the fact that the project you were working on our companies animations for the web, you were animating for HD even though they WOULD NEVER GO TO ANY VERSION OF HIGH DEF! (no wonder it killed your machine idiot).

  what about people who pronounce it "jiff"?

  • Idiots.– MrOneHundred1/15

    NERDS!
    i also hate the term SWIFF. it's a fucking S.W.F. it's not a "quicker, cleaner upper"!!!– lvl_132/15

    http://images.busine…– lvl_133/15

    totally agree with both of these.– flashbender4/15

    everyone fucking calls them swiffs, you tard.– kelpie5/15

    i don't.– skt6/15

    I'm numb to "swiff", but "jiff", "ping", and "yerl" tap right on my spine.– blaw7/15

    swiff is necessary because of the w - that bumps it up to five fucking syllables. i don't have time for five syllables.– paraselene8/15

    never heard swiff, but jif annoys. heard png as peng though, not too bad really– i_monk9/15

    we used to say "jiff" on odd days of the week and "gif" on even days to confuse the suits– vaxorcist10/15

    I think jiff is technically the right pronounciation. It took me years to accept swiff. I won't accept flah– CyBrain11/15

    I've heard jiff, really fucking grated me.– thatblokemike12/15

    Ping is clearly gay.– CyBrain13/15

  multi page illustrator documents is a misnomer, it's really just one page that becomes multiple pages when you output it to something else

  5. When asked about it throw a fit about how you are the lead designer and nothing you do is wrong and then start ranting and yelling in another language NO ONE ELSE KNOWS!

  I just got a lecture from our senior designer about logo design. We had been working on the same project, his option was images straight from shutterstock with a line of text mine were original icons drawn by myself and he gave me a talk on the 'logo creative process'.

  Oh and my option was the one the client selected.

  Ok - since you opened the door on this, I'm going to add to the bitch-fest.

  Why can't desingers/creatives learn how to properly label layers in PSD's? 50 million complex layers with all sorts of tweaks and placements and you spend 3 hours trying to figure out what's what in a sea of "Layer 3".

  Rant over. As you were.

  • I think their really should be some standardization helped from adobe on this. I know naming folders but give out some tutorials so designers dont overlap on this subj– Iggyboo1/2

    tutorials to newbie designers so that they don't waste other designers time on rebuilding files.– Iggyboo2/2
