I realize why I hate Graphic Design so much.

It’s not dealing with people who want me to change something for the better. It’s dealing with people who want to change things for the worst.

This is the second time in my life where I’ve helped my mother design a website. The first time was in 2008. 8 years ago. There are these characters on her site that I have to redesign because of how much better at art I am in contrast. But she’s so attached to the “stick on the refridgerator” tier original works, she refuses to have them change even if it’s for the better. No Mom seriously the art on these characters are cringeworthy bad. Their eyes are too big, they’re terribly asymettrical, one of them is just offensive. She wants me to basically copy what I did 8 years ago AND I’M JUST LIKE

NO

LISTEN

THESE DRAWINGS ARE SHIT. THAT’S NOT ME BEING OVER SENSITIVE OR A PERFECTIONIST. PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH AT THESE IMAGES. THE REDESIGNS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THINK OF YOUR BUSINESS. I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THIS BUT THERE’S SUCH A THING CALLED ART DIRECTION AND YOU’RE DEFINITELY PUSHING ME IN THE WRONG WAY
