And I learned some valuable lessons from those critiques. But for whatever reason, it's easier to take criticism from a professor or fellow classmate that can back up an opinion with a sound, 'design theory' based argument. It's the criticism without sound reason that makes you crazy. It took me a couple years to figure out how to handle it. And it's still not always easy, especially when I know my design is good. But, that being said, there's always a nugget of truth in every critique, no matter how unreasoned. That where I try to find peace with a critique. Use it to make the work better. Like Paulie said, art is subjective which makes it approachable and open for discussion. But the field is unique in that professionals have their work readily critiqued by any layperson. Imagine people walking past a Doctor and saying "Uh sir, I think you should take another look at those X-rays. Maybe it's the lighting, but I think you may have missed something." Or walking past a civil engineer and saying "Ummmm, Mr. engineer...I know you're pretty far along on this project, and I'm ok with how the bridge looks in a general sense. But don't you think it would look better if you put it over there? And used a light blue paint for the abutment? I'm in a blue mood today." It is what it is. That the tough part about the job. But, I wouldn't trade being a designer for anything. No matter how hard my wife pushes me to get a Master's. Unless you want to teach, a master's is a waste of $$ in our field With clients that give a negative critique and have no reasoning to back it up, I'll try to explain the 'why' to them before just saying fuck it and doing whatever they want. It's not worth fighting them over things if they have their mind made up. All I want in the end is their money so I can go to the track or some twisty roads.

You know after you said that, if it was like just that on a grey shirt and I centered the text, I'd wear it too . Just because it would make me laugh.

I've had to get very good at shrugging it off. It's one of the hardest parts of my job. Design is subjective. Everyone has an opinion. Sometimes an emotional opinion, and sometimes someone will say "I don't know why I don't like it. Maybe cause that thing reminds me of a (insert nonsense here). Usually the only criticism I take seriously comes from other designers, because I know they understand the theory of design, and why some things work and some things don't. So, all of that being said.....don't take the criticism so hard. You were going to receive it NO MATTER WHAT you produced. That's just how it works. A guy came to Earth and was perfect, they tortured him and crucified him on a cross..... You know someone's going to criticize everything, right? The complaint line is the beginning of the volunteer line. Thanks for designing the t-shirt, they look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife and I likely cant make the rain date, so if it gets moved to Sunday ya'll be fending for yourselves. If it gets rescheduled all together, we may be back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
