Idiot designer.
So...There is this local kid who seems to have a fair bit of talent when it comes to designing glossy flyers and promo materials for local raves and such. I decided to throw the kid some work about a month ago and had intended on helping him build a portfolio of adult website work.
Turns out that this kid has the worst luck ever and those problems are compounded by his ADHD. PLUS he thinks he already knows it all at 21 years of age. I knew his computer sucked ass so I offered to have him work on one of my workstations. He chose not to. The first design.....Computer crashed...Design lost. Second design.......Turns out it was his room mates computer and the room mate got pissed and moved out......Design lost. Third design.......The idiot used spare parts to build his own computer....It died on him yesterday....Design lost. So then this morning...He stops by with a CD to show me what he has been working on all night with his patched computer.....What a peice of shit site it is. It is NOTHING like the original design or the sketches that we initially put together. You try to give somebody a break and all they seem to be capable of is fucking up. |

At that age, many people don't have a clue what work ethics are.... It's too bad that he blew his chance.
Disclaimer: I also realize there are very hard working younger people, it's just not the "norm".

That really sucks. It sounds like he was doing everything he could to make the site. Bad things happen in threes. I think this is that kid's sign that he shouldn't be working for you.

Sure giving the kid a break was a nice gesture,but realistically..time is money and nothing beats an experienced designer.

Damn.. did that kid know who you are?
I'm 24 now.. I think I started posting here when I was 22 or 21. If I had an opportunity like that there's no way I would have let it slip so badly. Then again.. there are a lot of people my age who have no attention to detail, no work ethic, no time management skills. Aaron.. I have a BS Electrical Engineering, work full time as that, just started a Masters in the same and have built and successfully maintained my own workstations for the last 7 years.. whatcha got for me??

The main difference between me and a lot of the GFYers is that I am out of high school and building my own business. There's NOTHING special about AaronM other than I use some common sense most of the time, I don't take shit, and I know when and how to have a good time. Cancun...4 days and counting..... |

sounds like hes down on his luck a little anyway, why rub it in his face? granted he could have been stalling, maybe he wanted to impress you and messed up the work in his overeagerness to do so. Then again hes prolly just a fuck up. oh well..FUCK HIM, FUCK HIM IN HIS STUPID ASS!!

You'll probably find that he just didn't do anything at all, until that last night. The shit about computers crashing or failing was just an excuse for not having produced anything. Seen it too many times.
