anyway - back to the conversation about losing clients 'for having an attitude'...
... I recently 'parted ways' with a 'small' client (no clients are small, damnit!!!) simply for the fact that everything I was doing for them felt 'wrong'. Both wrong for their needs and wrong for MY portfolio... the client was hung up on his favorite color 'blue' which happens to be microsoft's blue-screen-of-death blue. This is one of the clients that would prefer to use a picture of his kids and dog on vacation in Aspen as his lead-in image for his brokerage firm (which happens to have 20+ employees who all refer clients to the site for forms etc and are rather embarrassed by the whole thing)...
... and of course being released from a big contract yesterday is making me wish I hadn't stopped working for the client of course...
*sigh...
... it's probably better in the long run to just suck it up and be damn sure there is always bread and butter on the table.

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

@ liking the colors.
i often admire things purely on an aesthetic level. there are certain things i enjoy if for no other reason than the colorscheme. in the instance that designers have snubbed a particular piece because it is all style and no substance, all flash and no concept, chances are you will find me sat in front of it ooohing and aaaahhing like an infant mesmerized by the pretty colors.

^that's pretty much the only purpose of that kind of design
put a whatever into a storm of colours, stripes, frills and ohhhs an aaaahs, in a way that the graphical effect is transferred to the product.
Totally baroque and is a well known pattern: When there is nothing to say all the attention goes to the form.

all said,
i still don't like that particular spacey, day-glo, smokey, diagonal-line illustration style.though i will give the artist credit that from far away it look alright, but i assume on closer inspection it looks like an arbitrary heap of trash

... on the other hand, just to cite as an example, spooky pieces are pretty much the opposite. His pieces add layers of meaning to the subject, stimulating not just the oohhhh and ahhhh but engaging your brain on something more than just pure visual pleasure.
- In your opinion, sure. I mean, I agree with you, but maybe some people get something out of the image above?Jaline

To me, it's almost the same thing as being attractive to people just based on looks (at first, anyway). I thought guys would be more into this...
- *attracted toJaline
- In terms of how you can't really help what you like.Jaline
- attractiveness is weighed more on personality than on looks.7point34
- finding beauty and finding attractiveness are not the same7point34
- Of course not. I mean being drawn to something. Sometimes you don't know a person but you like them (at first)Jaline
- first...based on beauty).Jaline
- I'm speaking to you guys like you're 2. I think you know what i mean.Jaline
- Regarding your first comment, attractiveness includes personality, but not everyone believes personality > beautyJaline
- I'm not speaking about myself. Just, in general.Jaline
- There are many levels to it. You could take it case by case.Jaline
- haha do you talk in person as much as you type?7point34
- Nope.Jaline
- jaline you should have your thoughts first, then write._salisae_
