Chief. Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Okay, there's this student in my webteam class. He's our head editor and everyone knows him because his mom is on the school board. He is also under the impression that he is God's gift to graphic design, when in reality he just photoshops all different logos and pictures and never does anything original. For instance, he designed our senior shirts this year, it's a Superman Returns logo with a grayscale effect and a filter combined with pixelated wings.Check out one of his prized designsNotice anything? He plants that stupid recolored logo anywhere every chance he gets and everyone thinks he actually made it. I've told many people that he didn't because I can't stand that he gets credit for that. The newspaper is now using it in their sports section for Hays High. The thing isn't even a clear image, it's pixelated and messy. This summer he sparked my dislike for him when the webteam instructor saw a longhorns logo I made and told me to email it to this guy, since he was making some web graphics to help out a school in Nebraska with a longhorn mascot. It was about time for dismissal from our summer class, so I walked over to him and said, "Hey, you don't need to use the Texas logo, I made this if you need it," and I showed it to him on my laptop. He muttered something that sounded like "Whatever" and turned away pretending I wasn't there. And of course he used the Texas logo...I would really like to take this guy down a peg, but I usually avoid these kinds of confrontations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief. Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah, the helmet, I know. I redesigned the football uniforms, not sure where to go from there. But the point is I don't like that he takes credit for the logo, it bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 <evil laugh> You need to find a way to embarrass him in public. Order a Hawaii t-shirt and wear it A LOT. Order another one for a friend and have them do the same. You want us to (cracks knuckles) talk to him? cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatManTC Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 just order a green Hawaii hat, take a sharpie and mark out the hawaii on the back and have your schools name stitched on the back. when people ask you how you got it. tell them that that kid made it for you. or something by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no97 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm all for the Hawaii cap idea - Lids.com - Just make sure you get one that also says Hawaii on it somewhere...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazz013 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 At least they're using your logo on the news page.I think a "Property of Hawaii" t-shirt would make a good statement. Maybe pair it with this hat (looks horrible, but should draw attention). Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krona Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Suck it up kid. Life is full of authority figures who dont deserve their position. when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. and add whiskey. your life isnt judged by high school. do your own thing. you'll succeed and he'll probably become a cop. what is this doing in the logos board anyways. maybe requests?

Krona Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 well, theres a lot of kids that are a-holes that grow up and become cops, so they can keep picking on people in adulthood. im not a cop hater and id say 90% are great people, but the ones you know are the ones that have chips on their shoulders. i went to high school with a few of them. if you dont see it, then youre not looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief. Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Well, anyway, I just don't think he can get very far in college by doing just this (and trust me, that's ALL he does). There's no possible way he can continue graphic design in college without doing original work, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You definitely don't need to worry about this guy somehow becoming a millionaire hotshot graphic designer. If he can't do original stuff, he won't have a career.Buy the Property of Hawaii shirt. That is an awesome idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 people are morons when it comes to logos. When it came time to draw a logo for our new high school, this is the one that was chosen. And the fact that most people like it is what boggles my mind. He's crying, and his eyes are closed.so I know how you feel. I think wearing a shirt with the Hawaii logo right there on the front as big as you can find would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
