    No, Patrick, I do not feel you are "screwed," nor was that the point of my post. However, I do feel that your original rant displayed a misunderstanding of the way certain things, by their nature, function and felt that countering this might help you to re-think your position. I guess you just got pissed though?

    Like, dude, if you want to promote product on a free, public, internet forum, people will talk shit. Any public object, by the nature of it being public, is completely open for criticism and therefore people will react negatively, no matter how pure your intentions. Its a fact and trying to get around it isn't going to happen, ever.

    So, if you want to sell stuff without hearing the shit talking the people will do, you either have to pay for advertisements somewhere where people can't respond back, or convince such places to advertise you for free, in which case bitching about it here isn't doing you any good. Go learn some PR and promote like everyone else who doesn't complain.

    I dunno, man, maybe make cooler shit and people respond better to it...? If you think you can't make it as a designer, its probably because you suck, so no one wants you. I happen to know quite a few graphic designers with jobs, living plenty comfortably. But, if you wanna sell shit to make more money and/or fulfill a personal creative need, go for it, just don't expect everyone to love it and praise it.
