Now I never said that, my posts have been inspired by comments along this vain
'i'm not gonna sell out and put my name to some shit just because some suit thats never heard the word 'no' in his life offers me a few quid.'
'Why employ a designer if you think you know better yourself? Unfortunately tho', when it comes to design, opinions are like arseholes.'
'creatives live and die (not usually literally) by the work they do, so if a client basically wants to hire you to be a software operator and not a designer, i'd fuck them off.'
The whole I'm a designer I know better attitude is wrong, if you fuck 'suits' off because they dare to have an arsehole of an opinion then I'm afraid you will die financially if not creatively - unless you can work your way to the top of your tree where people will come to you for your style and consultancy skills, not just because your a 'designer'
