I am starting to hate design. Every attempt to be clever, or to be enlightened. It's bullshit.

nick, give me a break. You think self doubt is being pompous?
- nick0
self doubt is fine, its natural.
the way you said it sounded like you were calling design bullshit.

dude, when i feel like that, I step awaaay from the computer, magazines, design books, etc and do something not so design related. Go boarding, hiking, play the guitar, buy a new CD, flirt with a random chickadee, etc.

I swear, after I finish some projects I'm not touching a computer for a good year. I'm burnt out.
- lifeinsodium0
what do you plan to do in that year?

These attempts to be clever, or to be enlightened are bullshit.
This is pop design. Utter shite.
Pushed by Lame CDs and "sales guys"
Bitches, the whole lot.
It's up to us to push design. Fuck what they say. I know it pays the bills, but the real shit come out of us, so if CDs aren't down, churn it out at home. Design is not defined by the dollar dollar bill, yo.
"Be just and fear not."

poetry!
hiphoprelic, we can make a song out of the wise words you just said. it will be loved by designers the world over.
i am thinking something like a mix between rage against the machine and madonna.
- hiphoprelic0
Perfect mix.
We are the real Designer's Front.
GOt to be guerilla about this shit.
"Comercial" design pay the bills and it make for good puzzle solving, but the real comes out of the struggle.
Weworkforthem... Optimal word : work.
Even our struggle to get CDs ad Promo guys to understand is one of the basics of the struggle.

lifeinsodium, maybe travel. But then I was planning a year ago for a trip to SE Asia sometime on '05, and it looks like that won't happen financially.

fate = low
nick = high

fate - you're too young to be burnt. wtf?

the trick I have found is to not get stuck on one project or medium. If you're looking at the same thing constantly it'll drive you nuts. it helps to be able to switch to something else. Try and learn something new on the side. etc.

fate - where you at man...
I'm in indy right now, these winters get to me sometimes.
- designerror0
i get fed up with it once a week, but then i just get drunk and when i wake up i worry about my hurting head from booze and not from "design" ..

Dublao, Terre Haute, about an hour out of Indy. But I'm going to be back in town at the end of February for some hardcore partying, but basically with a bunch of yougins like myself. Gonna trash the Marriot.
