A Quickie!

Sorry, it's Friday and I'm busy. I know you'd probably like to waste more time at your job by reading this. I'll do better in the future, I promise. Anyway, on to it!

I designed a brochure for Carl Jr (but really Carl makes all of the decisions, since he pays for everything). This is the brochure that they wanted me to steal competitors work to place in it. Then they wanted me to look on istock to get some work. I tried to explain that istock (and sites like that) aren't meant to provide you with designs and that they wouldn't even have anything that they could use. Didn't matter. They made me look and only believed me when I showed them the search results. So, I designed a brochure with the given text and left room for pictures of their work that they would try to dig up. The photo areas of the brochure were clearly noted as placement for photos of work (just blank boxes since I had no photos).

I showed them what I had so far and Carl said, "It looks boring."

I said, "Yeah, those blank areas will be filled with the photos I'm waiting on."

Carl stares blankly for a minute or two and then tells Stoner to work on the brochure.

Also, Carl's idea for the website of Carl Jr's business is to have an "Under Construction" page until the designs are finished. I say, "ok, I'll just throw the logo on there and something like Coming Soon!".

He says, "Why don't you put 'Award winning website coming soon'?"

I say, "But won't people think, 'how is it an award winning site if it isn't up yet'?"

Carl says, "They'll just think we're really confident in our design".

Yeah, that's probably what they'll think.
