I popped this thread open and thought, oh snap, I haven't seen some of these people in a while, then I checked the date stamp and realized I still haven't.

1. Create a multi-page document in illustrator.
that option is quite handy when you need to show boss/client multiple options on logos, or various options etc...
save as : pdf, then show to the client.You don't need every file made to be ready for the printer.
my 2cent
(and using indesign for that matter is pure waste of time IMO)

Hey, at least they didn't call you up and demand that you "remove all those FPO text thingies on top of the photos and fix the jaggy images now because we have to go to press in 5 minutes!"

No, this sounds like a poorly trained designer. Production can't get away with this kind of BS. Designers think nothing of it, because they don't have to make their stuff work in the real world.
- what kind of shite is that? who does make it work in the real world then?skt
- the production artists, skt, that's whomonospaced

these all sound like the traits of a poorly-trained production role; not that of a designer.
*goes back to .ai files and begins naming layers...

Ok - since you opened the door on this, I'm going to add to the bitch-fest.
Why can't desingers/creatives learn how to properly label layers in PSD's? 50 million complex layers with all sorts of tweaks and placements and you spend 3 hours trying to figure out what's what in a sea of "Layer 3".
Rant over. As you were.

5. When asked about it throw a fit about how you are the lead designer and nothing you do is wrong and then start ranting and yelling in another language NO ONE ELSE KNOWS!
I just got a lecture from our senior designer about logo design. We had been working on the same project, his option was images straight from shutterstock with a line of text mine were original icons drawn by myself and he gave me a talk on the 'logo creative process'.
Oh and my option was the one the client selected.

multi page illustrator documents is a misnomer, it's really just one page that becomes multiple pages when you output it to something else
- meffid0
Multipage illustrator files are fucken handy and easy to manage and print to pdf, what's your beef?
- we gots thsi nifty little program called IN DESIGN!dan5382
- dan is rightmonospaced
- mef has a pointmydo
- It is handier to do this in Illustrator than InDesign sometimes.ryngo
- I agree.. Especially when you have to layout different elements in same styleAlexanderDK

ATT creates multi page documents in illustrator. HP and pizza hut strictly design in quark only.
