Troubles of a Designer

people say some interesting things, i can’t stand ignorant comments, i’m sorry that’s just me..a few words that spill out your mouth can truly determine where your heads at…i guess i’m disgusted at the fact that that statement left this person’s mouth, but its whatever, only a few more months of this nonsense, and i will be back at the only consistent home i will ever have. I can’t wait until i go back to school 3 wonderful hours away from where I am at now, my philosophy “not too far, but far enough” ! Anyways, mr.guy has asked for a “me&him” day, and with anything new, i’m so nervous. 1. I have to run this day by my mom, and she is um very particular about who I talk to, so I hope the first impression is the best! and 2. The actual day…just going to be myself, a nervous wreck lol, and hopefully it will all smooth out. I hope that I am comfortable around, because if i’m not i don’t know what will happen. I can talk a whole lot, but in person, especially meeting someone for the first time, i am a mute. I just thought about this logo i’m doing for somebody, and I’m so frusterated, I mean I’m not THE best graphic designer because, i’m only 19 and i havn’t had any real training , so basically any work that I have done I’ve taught myself. So i’ve struggled and contemplated over this person’s logo, and at first I tried to talk them out of it, because I didn’t have the skills to do 3D, then I was like well its a challenge..so I accept. Then I got to working and came up with the first version of the logo, but it didn’t have any color, and was pretty flat lol. I buckled down and dished that one, sat and concetrated, and came up with a logo that is somewhat 3Dish and very colorful! I was so excited because I had faced a challenge and overcame it! And i thought i had actually done pretty well considering I have no real knowledge of anything 3D. And my clients response was “lol its cute”…my heart dropped so low…and I just became angry. The client is a guy sooo, cute is NOT an option, when its supposed to be sinsiter, mean, raw, whatever word you want to describe thats opposite of “cute”. My response is “???” and “so how do I not make it cute”….I get this back “idk”…”i failed art”…”lol,sorry”…I dismissed myself, but I was VERY upset, and VERY dissapointed, my work isn’t perfect, and i don’t profess it the best, but i try. And then on top of that he’s getting TWO logos for $60, and has already gotten another FREE, so I just want to say “f you pay me” excuse my language but on the real. He can go find someone else to create him a logo, because he certainly will not get one for $60, that’s probably unheard of in the graphic design community, I may be looked down upon in shame for my price offer, (lmao probably not…too dramatic) but I’m saying, really? so this one has urked me, very much, and i don’t even know how to approach the situation, at first I was going to ignore it, but I took it on, and now, I want to give up..
