For all you art people out there...
I have to squeeze in 100 more words. yay!
g'night.

In my understanding of design, there is always going to be an issue at hand. Problem has a negative connotation, so I chose the word issue instead. The issue is typically presented to a designer by a client. The client may or may not have an audience....

how bad is it , that you wrote an informative journal, and i cant stop lookin at your oic. im a typical guy i know.

Spoken very eloquently.

I'd have to add that being able to bend with the client is extremely important. If the designer can't or refuses to take what the client says into account, then one of the initial elements of the problem is not being addressed. Sometimes as a designer we have to understand that not every project can be as visually appealing as we want it. The client must feel that the end product is satisfactory and that is more important than whether the designer thinks it's aesthetically perfect or not. The client does not have prior knowledge of typography, color theory or composition so the suggestions made to the designer are not always good and more often than not are quite terrible. A good designer is able to decipher whether these changes are the clients personal preference or if a key element of the concept is not coming across. Often, the client will have nothing more to say than "I really like blue, can we make it blue?" When asked why blue, the client will have no actual reason other than it's their favorite color. Personal preference is an ever-common hurdle that designer's face. As a designer you must be able to either talk them out of it or bend and incorporate it into your design.

Well Dora, look what you did. Now I'm late for work. Time to go and 'bend' for tha man.

World Market rocks, doesn't it?

Cleaning party......hmmmm..... you should be fairly safe as long as you do get men's room duty......right? On the other hand maybe you'll get drinks from the boss. smile
aficionado:
you still gotta do that second half of your 20 random facts, yo! or not. If it feels more of a distraction then just ditch it. I wouldn't be offended.

cleaning party, eh? that sounds like a jolly good time. play any good games? like ring around the toilet? that was a little lewd, sorry. heh.

I dug your Halloween costume, by the by.

aficionado:
I just had my mid-semester break. it was friday. one whole day. i spent the day being in front of the computer and being a bum instead of like, being productive or having fun. what a waste.

Had you seen Amelie before the time you watched it with your roommate? damn. I love that movie. loooooooove. It's such a cute li'l movie. and I love the music. good stuff.

I'll probably be having a pretty boring Halloween, too. so you're in good company. wink
