    As an American we've been at this freedom of speech thing for 249 years, you've been at it since 1991, so I get it that you don't understand how we think.

    Keep trolling me, and I'm going to respond.

    Only if I had the time to create a meme with three guys commiserating about 'what's going on in Canada' when the happy-go-lucky-guy grafician shows up with his input into the conversation.

    Stop the Noise G

    • Were is this?grafician
    • Ah nevermind found it

      Yeah, this is a fact, everybody scrapped their plans to go to the US because you're dickheads now
      grafician
    • Canadian flights to the US at lowest in maybe forever

      Nobody wants to be deported I guess

      So let's talk about that free speech in 4 years?

      Why would I care about your life

      Stop caring about mine :)

    Here I go having to defend myself again.

    "wonder what canoe thinks of this? :)))

    I told him nobody will visit the US anymore soon and he flipped out"
    - grafician

    I was saying that I wanted to support Canada's tourism because of the recent issues with Trump, and grafician butt his head in and said some BS that was off topic. Check out my completely unhinged flipping out response.

    Maybe you should just stay in your country?
    Everybody else WILL NOT VISIT THE US in the near future
    - grafician

    What's that smell, a catfish? Ah, nice of you to stop by and share your cognitive dissonant considerations. You make me miss Canadians even more!
    - canoe

    STOP THE NOISE G

    • < this is you being insecure and flipping out AGAIN!

      I was speaking the truth - people ALL OVER the world are now reconsidering going to the US.
      grafician
    • You don't need to defend yourself, stop misrepresenting my comments or whatever

      What's with this victim attitude?!

      Just stop posting
      grafician
    • Gaffe, we weren't talking about US tourism, we were talking about ME going to CANADAcanoe
  • grafician-17

    This is me clearing out the air with palimpsest

    https://www.qbn.com/reply/414301…

    Canoe still thinks I am after him...still ongoing work

    Continuity? How's the new lifestyle folio website working out? You can use https://laytheme.com/ for a very nice looking folio, it's on Wordpress, you just add the images on a grid like in a design app - very useful for folios with lots of images like photographers, etc.

    utopian? maybe later but I will stop commenting on your AI posts if that helps and will stop refering to you as "AI slopper" or whatever

    Who else got beef?

    Ah yes monospaced: still ongoing - sometimes we're cool, sometimes we're not, but I am sorry for calling you an idiot so many times due to misunderstandings in the comments and such trivialities - just a tip, just ask me questions to clarify stuff before jumping to stupid conclusions and getting into an argument, Fair?

    Anybody else?

    Can we clear the stuff?

    Yes I am loud, but at least ask stuff about me before jumping to conclusions or invent all sorts of things projecting when at the end of the day you just don't know me

    Also last: this is a public forum, everything is in the open, everything is connected, so maybe let's do a reset, less trolling, more creating

    That's about it.

    IF you still feel the need to continue shitposting about me, it's on you, but I will not forget :)

    • +1 If you're capable of not attacking anything for a week and you actually do less trolling & more creating, I guarantee your experience with others will changecanoe
    • "Canoe thinks I am after him" needs to communicate stronger to canoe... how about... "I'll stop bringing up canoe so he will see that I'm not after him"?canoe
    • If you act like this in real life then we do know you. If you're playing charades then we also know you.canoe
    • My portfolio works just fine.Continuity
    • And to be frank and fair, this "apology/truce", with the condescending and belittling, is so on brand.canoe
    • I'm looking forward to "more creating" positive energycanoe
    • "Everybody else WILL NOT VISIT THE US in the near future" is a good example of how you brush people the wrong way.canoe
    • It's like when Trump said "El Salvador is a shit hole". Not all of El Salvador is bad. Not "everybody else" will not visit the states.canoe
  • palimpsest11

    This is me wiping my ass with your post, grafician.

    Play the tape back, Jamie:
    You asked that I post some of work which I did even though you hadn't shown us yours. Since the coding work I did for QBN was not valid in your eyes I posted a logo project. But that wasn't enough so you went searching for work of mine on the web and posted a video you found on YouTube thinking you had made some great discovery. It was an AI video I had already posted here. The whole thing went over your head.

    I've always thought you were a piece of shit and have always called you out on it. As much as you keep flipping the story the posts are there for all to see.

    Fuck off.

  • Beeswax0

    why don't you guys do a photoshop battle or AI imagery battle and such and we vote and decide who is best at what here.

    • AI imagery battle because that is a testament of imagination, intelligence, creativity, technical know-how and raw talent?canoe
  • canoe5

    There’s so much to unpack from your bag of bullshit.

    “Again, tell us when was your last job? When were you Chief Marketing Officer? Where?" - grafician

    Titles only seem to matter to you when you're trying to discredit someone else’s. Ironically, you’re the same guy who said 'titles are useless' five comments ago. Make up your mind.

    "Advertising industry is not a T business, you confuse terms and act like an idiot again." - grafician

    No, I’m using accurate terminology from industry reports and global market tracking. You’re the one shouting vague insults while Googling market cap numbers out of context like that proves your authority. Aren’t you the one that just said “nobody will visit the states” even though 700,000 people visited last month from the EU alone. FLOL!

    "Publicis Groupe has a market cap of $22.28B..." - grafician

    You just proved my point: market cap ≠ total industry size. Publicis isn’t the ad industry — it’s one player. Meanwhile, global advertising spend crossed $1 trillion in 2024. That’s what fuels the very UX products you work on.

    "Do you know Publicis?" - grafician

    Yes. I've actually worked with global agencies. But name-dropping agencies you haven’t worked at doesn’t make your app designs more valuable.

    "I bet you worked all your life at some local company from junior to CMO..." - grafician

    I love that you need that to be true so badly—like convincing yourself I only ever worked at some local agency somehow makes you taller. But the truth is, I’ve held design and creative positions, built campaigns, and shipped brand work seen by millions, think Chrysler, Jeep, AMEX, SEGA, NVIDIA for starters.

    I created a post directly at you, with all of the brands I’ve worked for, and you responded, but because you can’t handle the truth I have to repeat myself again. If labeling me a loser and that I never worked at BBDO is what you require, then create your own little delusional freaky world.

    "Post dumb charts to win dumb prizes." - grafician

    AI generated that chart based on category traits, but it hit a nerve because even a bot can sense when someone’s compensating.

    "What you're confusing is revenue from Google Ads, Facebook Ads... that go to tech companies!" - grafician

    You’re literally describing media spend—the very thing that fuels the entire advertising ecosystem. You don’t seem to realize that whether it goes to Google or WPP or a content publisher, it’s still advertising. It's still the engine that drives awareness, installs, signups, and UX engagement.

    "Don't confuse media budgets with advertising revenues." - grafician

    I’m not. But you clearly confuse your role in the digital product team with dominance over the entire creative economy. UX is crucial. But without advertising, nobody shows up to your app. Nobody downloads it. Nobody even knows it exists. UX is the experience. Advertising is the invitation. Learn the difference.

    You lie, you twist facts, you cherry-pick data to fit whatever narrative keeps your ego intact. You call people beneath you while offering nothing but sarcasm. You attack, then play the victim. You rant, then pretend you're above it all. And the second you’re called out, you pivot or disappear.

    And now, you’re not part of the conversation anymore. You’re just background noise we’ve all learned to tune out. The only thing you have going for you around here is a thread that someone made because nobody likes you.

    I’m done responding. I’m walking away because talking with you is like arguing with a malfunctioning pop-up ad: loud, misleading, and best ignored. The tech support for your ego has expired.

    • I asked you directly were you worked.

      If you can't tell us that then shut up.
      grafician
    • You started with the career boasting

      Now go through and tell us
      grafician
    • You said you came up from junior to CMO at some agency? Where? When?

      What agency?
      grafician
    • Also you reek of insecurity coming back to this thread to post even more bullshit

      You're hilarious

    "Anything else doesn't matter, we work for our clients not for the opinions of other designers..."

    "No, not really, opinions of other designers after the work was completed and shipped are moot :))"

    - grafician ...on one side of his cheek...

    ...and then on the other side of his cheek:

    "Aaah so you can't post any job

    Then tell people I lie :)))

    Are you working now?

    What are you working on?

    Post some recent work
    grafician
    You work at BBDO?

    grafician
    BBDO is a network, so in what city or local agency worked with BBDO?

    Michigan somewhere? Where Detroit?
    Probably Detroit as you mention car brands
    grafician
    BBDO was done in Detroit as Chrysler went bankrupt no?

    You worked there? It was 2009 or 2010
    grafician
    Ah yes the famous Troy office

    So any other agencies?

    Jobs?

    He lives in a weird world where he says "Bitch, Get me some coffee" and doesn't think there's spit in his mug when it lands at the table.

    You're the last person in the world I would go out of my way to impress. PLUS, I know you're not looking for clarity on my career and work, you're just looking to get some ammo

    I put up a campaign I worked on a few years ago and you went ape shit despite liking my awesome font choice. (I only say it's awesome because you approved of it, so it MUST be awesome). But I thought I was the "font ignorant dork"?

    Go fuck yourself. The tech support for your ego has expired.

    • Mate on those banners for amazon shop you got trashed by robo for not even using a grid :))grafician
    • This is not about impressing, this is about having a big mouth and nothing to back it upgrafician
    • I GAVE YOU the font link because I knew the font by eye :)))

      I am not a font dork, all the designers I know KNOW fonts!

      I bet you can't even difference Arial from Helvetica

    Here you go @canoe searched my aarchives for banners, I think these are my first ones in the industry

    We had a pitch or campaign for Vodafone (The Vodafone Foundation) I think it was CSR project or close

    We did video banners back then nobody doing video Flash banners in the local market

    We built huge red letters out of Vodafone's font (I can tell you the Vodafone font story in a different post if you want)

    and asked our friends to go into Victoriei's Sq (in front of the Government building) to pose for video and pictures with the letters and make up nice words for the Foundation

    Then we edited all that, then made the banners

    My role was graphic designer and flash designer, I basically did all the visual work except the video filming editing etc.

    The Apple imacs 2006 model back then were the white ones and using Flash they were fuming

    It's all in Romanian but the main red letter words "ZAMBET" means "SMILE" and the banners were animated in loops, loading videos with different nice words, some had a "peal" effect depending on the media and websites they were displayed on

    This was 2008 :)

    So my first BANNERS were done for Vodafone

    Yours?

    Because you posting 5 years old banners with sloppy design doesn't cut it mate :)

    • Here you go the date stamps

    • So maybe YOU have more works you would like to show us?
