"Make it pop" - translation: "I'm a fucking idiot who has somehow stumbled into this position, I have input in creative projects but I haven't the slightest clue about how to do my job so I am unable to vocalise what I want without regressing into something just above baby talk"

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.

"useless creatives" = "superfluous redundancy"

multiple options on one illustrator page is handy when you're only dealing with vector objects. but when your art director decides to create a 16 page layout with high resolution images is a nightmare. to make it worse it was on one fucking layer! grrrrrr....

- 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

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...

multi page illustrator documents is a misnomer, it's really just one page that becomes multiple pages when you output it to something else

Xx.
Being a 'page decorator' instead of a 'designer' - meaning you have no ability to author original content in any way, shape or form.
Please go back to jail, do not pass go, do not collect any money that could be going to pay my student loans.

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.
