pcgd Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hate how anonymity turns people into a-holes. This could have been designed by one of our own, and it certainly wouldn't garner the same response in the concept forum. A lot of the designers in the concept forum aren't getting paid...that's the big difference. Professional designers on this board have already said they don't mind the criticism. It comes with the business. And if I was a professional designer, I'd rather hear people tell me what they don't like about it, rather than stroke my ego with false pretenses.True, but all too often you hear people (on this board, too) make really disparaging remarks about how 'The designer could have at least put in a tiny bit of effort.' or 'This is so amateurish. I can't believe this guy has a job.' when they don't know who designed it or under what circumstances, what the client gave as a brief, etc. People take advantage of that anonymity and truly do take the criticism far beyond a healthy level.For example: A member of this board designed the Buffaslug. I'm sure he loved reading all the s#!t that was written about him without being able to defend himself properly (s#!t that was written without knowledge of the ins and outs of the development of professional athletic identities in general, let alone that particular identity).Believe me I heard it all when one of my designs that ended up on the ice was hated and is one of the most hated jerseys in the NHL (I didn't do the jersey but I did the crest)But what they don't understand is that was one of about 30 options and what was chosen was completely out of my control. Also the concept was not mine but the teams. But I don't care since it was my first I have it framed in my house and am proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 So who designed the Buffaslug? Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a concept is steered by the client, that is no excuse for poor execution of it. It may not be an inspired piece of art, but it should still be correctly-drawn and have a polished finish.

kpbl_design Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I admit... I'm the proud papa of the Buffaslug. I co-sign on Pat, Matt, Harry's and Funkatron's comments as well.I've actually spoken on this on these boards before, but it was about a year ago.

Not the beveling, or any of the text, though. Literally just the outline of the maple leaf.

I'd totally embrace that if I were you. The Notorious KPBL! Notorious doesn't have to be to your detriment.

kpbl_design Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks guys!I went " diggin' through the crates" last night and found previous rounds of work on that project... it was good for a few laughs, for sure!Honestly, I think that taste of negative feedback really drove me to become a better designer... Did I like it? No. Did it turn out to be worthwhile? Absolutely! Kristopher "Baze" Bazenwww.krisbazen.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
