Oh well, looks like Moe won't be gracing the pages of anything anytime soon. After review with the sales guys we decided to "go in a different creative direction." (They didn't like the ad.) Back to the drawing board.
This would not be too big of a deal (happens more than I care to think about), except that I fired our designer two weeks ago. (That also happens more than I care to think about.) Finding someone with any kind of creative smarts AND technical skill AND a modicum of professional / artistic integrity is apparently like trying to find a fish on the moon.
It amazes me that there are so many uncreative "creatives" out there. They come in, putz around FOREVER to get an ad together, end up with some pathetic mediocre thing that just begs to crawl under a rock and never see the light of day minutes before the deadline , and then they call it a day. Never even lose a minute's sleep over it. And they have the nerve to call themselves "creatives." Ugh, makes me crazy...
Where's the PASSION!?!? Where's the CREATIVE DRIVE?!?! Where's the VISION?!?! Don't even get me started...
So now until we find a replacement I'm doing my job AND his. Oh well, not like I was trying to get anything on MY desk finished this week...
