With all of these comments in mind. Isn't it really about the art? Didn't you get into design to be able to produce artwork?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to just get over people telling you what to do? It's part of the job. You will always have someone telling you what to do. Even if you have your own practice, your clients will tell you what to do. And we do have to find the wrong in our designs and negativity is always around us, but instead of getting hurt or taking it personal when you get good crit., I think it would be a better idea to just find a solution with in yourself to the problem at hand. After all, that is our jobs. To find creative solutions to creative problems.
What matters, in this case is to just be happy that you are doing what it is you love. And, if you are not, it is as simple as getting another job.
As a community, we should be more supportive of each other. And opinion is always subjective. So it shouldn't matter what others think. Unless you are designing something for the masses, then accepting constructive crit. might even help you out.
Their are many things in life to be negative about. If a creative director has 3 designers that hate him/her and are always negative, it will reflect in the way this person treats their designers. It's simple logic.
I left my last job because I was unhappy. I took a pay cut for a few months and now I have my own company. It may be hard to change your situation, but once you do, it works out. Just because we are not happy where we are at, doesn't mean someone else wouldn't be.
WORD UP! Lets all hold hands and make happy sounds!
Fresh!
