I majored in Graphic Design and had to take several classes that overlapped with Fine Arts majors (Drawing, Photo, Sculpture...). While there were a few like that, most of them that I encountered were not quite so...uppity. For instance, there were no 'brick moving' or similar incidents at my school that I'm aware of.indecks wrote:Hobie-wan wrote:Many of the 'Fine arts' majors where I went to school did. Some of them did make some genuinely interesting stuff, but there were plenty that would spend way more time coming up with some elaborate meaning behind some ugly and hastily looking made crap. There was one guy a year ahead of me, his senior project consisted of moving a neatly stacked pile of bricks around campus once a week for a month. They were just in a neat rectangular pile. Not anything actually interesting. I forget what it was, but he had some huge bullshit concept for its meaning written up. Another friend always made jokes about fine artists at school writing up something for 'poop in a bucket'.indecks wrote:No offense to any art majors here, but do all art majors have their heads up their own ass as bad as my friend Jerry does?
this is maddening. We've gotten several texts asking for "15 minutes and its done" or shit like "Im finally happy with the color, should be up momentarily."
This was like an hour ago. I bet you $5 that it's gonna be that fucking puke green with yellow text again.
Your friend is probably just over-thinking it. That's something that everyone tends to do from time to time, but I find it's more prevalent with the more artistic minded crowd. I do the same thing myself sometimes. The difference is, when you're working on your own projects it's fine (I could spend hours searching for the right type face, for instance), but I have deadlines to reach when working for other people.
If it bothers you so much don't have him do it again, or if that's not an option, give him some boundaries to work with. Like tell him what you want it to look like and maybe give him some color swatches
This really freaking bites, because we've been working so hard to get this stupid car registered here, but keep getting pointed in different directions. I'm finally making good money and feel semi-successful in life, but I'm throwing all my money at this piece of crap car. What's worse, is that we were planning on buying a brand new vehicle, but now with half of my savings are gone, there's no way we can do that.
Played lots of video games today to vent my frustration. Felt good getting all that anger out on a controller like I used to do. Just sucks that I was playing for that reason alone.
My daughter went absolutely bonkers today. She jumped in my lap and started banging on the keyboard yelling various video game characters. I pulled up a picture of Sonic and she yelled "SOOOOOOONNNIIIIIIIIIC" in the most demonic voice I've ever heard. She then saw Shadow and started yelling his name too. After she was done shouting at the screen, she grabbed her Mario toy and ran around screaming "Mario, ~weegie, Yoshi!".
