I have really let my blog sit stupid for a while. So I have some thoughts about things, and I am contemplating some work issues. Not necessarily with my job, but my thoughts about my skills.
First. I will come out and say it. I HATE the crap I designed for Live in the Crossroads this year. It turned in to this regal mess. It's not my style. It's cluttered, weak concept, mashed together, no negative space or place for the eye to rest, the elements are competing, the color is off, and the pictures I had to work with were lame and not high res.
And somehow all of this escaped. and the end result was Whatever.
So, I feel its too late to do anything but ride this out and learn or try to figure out what I can do before next year's concerts if I can make it that long.
Second. I am feeling a little bit hacky. Like everything I do lacks this finished quality. Like things I do are maybe a little lame-brained. I don't know if its because I lack a certain knowledge, but I suspect it does have something to do with the type of work I do. I feel the need to be around other designers, to work with other designers. I feel like the quality expected from me, is a little below the real standard that I want to be set to. Anyways, I feel like I don't get to design enough.
"In my consulting experience I know this for a fact. No matter why they call seeking help, the word “respect” always seems to creep into the conversation. In-house designers continually express concern about why their opinions are not valued, why they are given very little time to get work done, why the plum jobs get sent to outside boutique shops and why there seems to be little appreciation for what they do."On the downside of being an 'innie'
"2. You have to report to a person who doesnt know much about design - you have to let your work be judges by someone who knows less about your subject than you do."
Enough of that. I plan to take a step back on my 5 whole days off, enjoy the weather, and come back feeling a little more refreshed with a clear idea of where I need to go over the next year.

The show i just saw fucking rocked. Period. I really enjoyed speed kills and eye. The sound could have been louder but my hears still ring a little so thats a good thing. We only come out at night was cool. I like the kazoos.
