Bad news for my dream of getting a mac - I have been AXED! AHAHHAAH. "as u know the company is not doing too well for the time being, I hate to do this but I have no choice, I hope u understand...." sounds all too familar right?
Well although I been at my present company for like 4 months+, I practically know how the company is run. Client wants A, boss thinks client wants B, boss tells designer/developer to do C, product C given to client who wanted A,client is pissed on why C is given when he wanted A. Boss managed to pacify client with honeyed words and it goes all over and all over again. It is a vicious cycle. All these exra work will pile up, projects get delayed, payment get delayed and things just dun work out when at the begining, all can be so simple and straight like a --------------- line.
So I will be leaving officially on the 22/12/04, 3 days before Christmas. HAHA. I will be passing on my work to my designer colleague who is buried in her work. She is handling 3 persons' work load, so when I leave, she will be doing 5 persons' work as currently I am doing 2. This is prob the worst scenario any designer can get and is my main reason why I do not want to touch on design related work. Only a minority of designers in SG can respected for their effort,creativity,talents and professionalism. Most of the peasant bosses or other people see designers as graphic-whore.
It is no suprise when people said the creative industry in SG is appauling. Creative industry=media,print,internet,TV commercials which some are really the pits. Eg, the latest Canadian Pizza CM shown on Central at 10pm onwards. It is done on a 1990s home video cam. Some of the classics are Sunpage IDD, Wayway washing powder.
Nothing much ever stand out, nothing much exciting.
I will not say designers are "elite" or what. But they tend to be more "sophiscated" or more MODERN in their thinking because they are more exposed to ang moh idealogies and concepts and thinking. They tend to think out of the box and have different tastes from the common people. Designers or designed trained people are more like Apple's Macintosh, while the commoners are like Windows PC. Well not a good analogy but I cant think of any better. haha
