Yes, I do design shit. Here's an example.

Ever wonder what it's like having your design ruined? Yes, I am experiencing that kinda shit every single day, with my dignity shattered again and again, witnessing every piece of my work become rubbish that doesn't worth a second glance. Why is it so? It is merely because everyone thinks they are talented in advertising & design. Some think designers design shit. Some come and comment on the principle of design. Some simply want ugly cut and paste stuffs. They don't know what advertising is. They don't even know what focus point means, not to mention functionality of ads at different stages.
Here is an example of how a client can be so clever. Hope you don't get sore eyes for seeing this:

Get my point?
Designers don't know how to design? Ya, thanks to our highly intelligent clients. duh.

巧了,前幾天有個學妹來電話:“聽說學長春聯很gang3,想請你寫一幅……”我馬上想到筆墨紙硯和磨墨的書童。

談了幾句才知道原來是要我用“優美城市”設計一幅嵌名聯。就是上聯“優…………城”對下聯“美…………市”,我胡亂說了幾句行話唬人,大意是“城”平聲“市”仄聲,上下聯得對調云云。

總之,後來我就答應試試用“優美”二字來設計對聯。當時想到可以用“優勢在握……”、“美景當前……”,“勢”“景”二字都是仄聲,那是不行的。

後來後來,我並沒有交出作業。你們看到的,不是我設計的。

就對聯來說,“點”“粹”“門”對“景”“舍”“乾”,第二、四、六字對了同個聲調,犯了大忌,太不專業了。

但是,這年頭,春聯這玩意兒,誰在乎專不專業呢!
