Goddamn
Because Microsoft Word can do ANYTHING!
After ten years of working for myself as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, I’d become disenchanted with having to chase after clients to collect my paycheck and sought a typical 9-5 job. I interviewed for a position as a marketing manager with a company that I seemed like a great fit. During my interview, the CEO asked me what programs I use to “draw.”
Me: Uh, I usually work in Illustrator, because vector graphics are scalable.
Client: Oh that’s good, not many people would understand that or know that.
He offered me the position and I accepted. A few weeks into the job, when discussing a project with the same CEO, he asked how I was going to prepare a specific piece of marketing collateral (that included the creation of new logos and would need to be sent to a printer in .eps format). I replied “Illustrator”. He replied in a tone that was a unique cross of amused, sneering condemnation and anger.
Client: No. People don’t know how to use Illustrator, and there isn’t anything you can do in Illustrator that you can’t do in Microsoft Word. Use that.
Tfw had to learn PowerPoint to do all design for a very large client.

Complaining.
Trying to figure out how to get over that hump where that thing that I used to like to do has become a frustratingly rote job with no a creative merit whatsoever (but pays well).

I’ve seen these show up here and there on tumblr, sometimes incorrectly attributed, so I thought it might be a good idea to gather them here. Model sheets for all the major characters in Convergence: Shazam! #1. To my knowledge some of the villains haven’t been online yet.
Compressed 20 minutes of video down to 90 seconds. By the end of the third pass, I thought the timeline looked pretty neat.
