awesome
they called you in for an interview to tell you that your work sucks.
this is a good thing. your rant seems like you are high flying on your ego based on some award winning stuff that you did.

when i attempted to get into the an arts program at eciad, i was interviewed by the head of the dept. she said what i had wasn't great and told me to return next term with additional work that showed her more scope, more thought. i felt kinda kicked in the nuts, but i took her advice, worked at it, and they let my ass in the next term.

"maybe i just need a new fucking career "
To be frank, you have no formal design or technical education in your resume. Its not really a career unless you are willing to invest in that, really learn the fundamentals and both invest in and evaluate yourself.

when i was in school and handed an assignment to redesign some local cleaning service or valet company, i ignored it, because i knew no matter how sweet it ended up, that i would never want it in my portfolio. my advice is to keep designing the things you love if you're going to bulk up your portfolio with spec work.

woh. take it easy man. your work isn't shit. you just had a bit interview.
take a deep breath and get back at it.

i think we can all be assholes on any given day under the right circumstances. that said, not everyone is going to like your work, all of the time. perhaps you'll rethink some things for your next interview. i actually think the bit about opening the phonebook and picking a company to redesign sounds like more "sophomore homework assignment" advice.

that work is shit^ and id admit it. considering there was no time or effort put into either of those..
but that wasnt the work in question..http://www.top-notchcleaningserv… is shit.. made as a "draft" for pro bono work for a friend..

he said im a illustrator more then anything.. my logo portfolio was "missing diversity"
unfortunately i have none of the original logo work only print due to my ex g/f's dad dropping my 500gb external with pretty much my life on it.
so i need new work as far as logos.. but as far as my cartography I think my work is rather good in comparison to others.
he told me to get a entry level job doing whatever and spend my days off making new work because what i have isnt worth a damn
