Make My Logo Bigger Cream



Agency Fusion certainly had a fun time with this little gem of a video.
I have no problems identifying with their humour even if it is reality for me.

My fellow colleagues can often relate to the problems that we go through from time to time as a graphics designer at The Shopping Channel. Just imagine!

A regular designer’s job is two-fold: one being the creative geniuses that we are, and the other being a copacetic robot that endlessly pumps out restricted visual media.
In my case however, the job cuts back the creativity to about 20%, and the rest,… well let’s just call it patience worthy of sainthood. ;-)

Luckily, I am not the only one out there in my exact predicament.

There are many people who “need” their visuals to have:

  • larger logos
  • every last bit of white space filled up
  • florescent or god-awful colour schemes
  • starbursts
  • call-to-actions on everything

Many unexplained phenomenon have resulted in these “needs”, and due to many other factors, the designer is forced to make them reality.
I’ve come to terms with these fundamental laws of the designing universe quite well.

Sometimes though, when I’m completed a job, I really wish I could attach a nice tube of “Do it yourself!” cream,… just in case.
