He would get all uppity telling ME what it should be like. Having the initial agreed concept completely ignored was just insane to me. I know designing can be tough with lots of changes etc.
I agreed to the new concept, but only after we were already over schedule and it was becoming clear what we originally agreed on would not be done. So i was just trying to salvage things.
If you saw the banners you would see the huge lack of professionalism. Small hard to read fonts, To fast of frames you cant read. It makes me think the owners are just as clueless. I have heard they spend a lot of time/money doing their portfolio then try to use that as leverage and churn through clients. I have designed for over a decade now for media sites and for my own networks. So i know exactly what quality of work I should be looking at.
Id hate to see them working with someone who is not a full blown webmaster and the crap they probably get away with.
I sadly cannot post it here as it is mainstream. No contracts were signed which is my mistake. The idea about the fla is spot on also. Just the only problem is it was done for christmas which is now passed. I appreciate your insight.  |
Thanks for the compliments. II bet the guy is either the only one with much flash experience or the owner is more print based. I do most of the flash stuff at my job and our boss came from the old days when you had to paste shit together and manually take/send it to the printer lol. He doesn't have any idea about flash he looks at what we create and says it looks cool or it looks shitty and we move forward or backward. The owner also thinks a lot about how much time they spent on it, he may have had pressure already from the flash guy about how hard it would be to change what hes done, looked at the hours spent on it, etc.
The flash guy is probably talking as much shit as he can/backpeddling to avoid having to redo it or just doesn't have the experience to do it but thought he did. He prob told the boss what you want cant be done so I made this great alternative. There are times my co worker says that to our boss and I know it can easily be done but he doesn't want to do it. He is either too self invested or to aggravated lol.
Just curious, if it doesn't compromise anything, what were the effects or actions that they agreed to but then said were impossible? I'm sorry to push the subject I am just naturally curious when I hear about shit like this. Was it like interaction stuff or just animation.
Hope you had a good holiday in lieu of these recent shortcomings.
