No matter what you think...

...the customer is always right. Above is pretty much the final design for the poodle sign. I'm a bit uneasy about it but its what they wanted and hey that's great.

One thing that I've learned and have quickly accepted is to not get attached to my work. Especially commercial stuff. I mean, yes, you need to have passion. You need to work as hard as possible on each one to come up with the best solution to the problem. But you just have to accept that some people won't like anything that you think is "good" cause everybody has an opinion. Which is fine. You just need to give the client what they want.

And Ben, you're totally right. A good designer is somebody that can take a bunch of crap (or lollipops!) and bring the same level of interest and passion to it as their own stuff. On to more!

Oh, and they picked the pink one!
