    I'll explain that a bit...
    an agency i used to work at, the CD was this awesome awesome guy...he totally took the time to explain to me everything that was going on....taught me as many tricks about art direction as he could, and never ever minded working with me to make something better....on a few occaisions, he would ask me to send him what i was working on, and the next day i'd stop by his desk to find he'd finished it, changed things, and sent it off to the client....on each occasion, i asked about it, and explained it in detail...whatever the facts were etc...and in each case, it was absolutely teh cool/right thing to do....i never got upset, and was (and still am) in awe about what a decent guy he is, and how fantastic it was to work with him....

    however...

    his partner at the time was this dude, who was a copywriter/half-assed designer (did a lot of quark-stuff for print but that's about it) he was also the main suit-guy...did most of the client relations stuff etc...

    there were many, many occasions where he took credit for work that was done by myself....
    and more than a few times he would alter work i'd done and pass it along to the client..and it was NEVER better after he'd messed with it....
    that guy was super hard to be around for those and other reasons...

    oddly enough though, aside from that, outside of work he was tres cool to party with. lol....
