Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

[Codex]

That's terrible

There should be youth all around the world, not just in Asia

On a more serious note that sucks pretty hard :/

[Spork]

^I can verify that this is all true.

And skin cancer.

[Emrico1]

and fush and chups

There's an upside

[Retardobot]

Mrs. just got her visa renewed until March 2013.

So, 10 months left in this cancerous gang-land of fish and potatoes.

[Emrico1]

Change is as good as a holiday bro :culpability:

Despite my unimpressed, self righteous attitude towards New Zealand, it's as much a career move as anything. I can't be where I want to be by staying in New Zealand.

My want to make my mark on a consumerist nation of spenders can't be done in a country of small businesses and farmers. The average client here can't satisfy me (everyone is still scared of creative design and believes what we do can be done by them if they just have the right software).

[Nostargate]

That is the way with pretty much every industry in NZ, want to progress leave country profit.

Read that on Stuff.

Hello Clarice....

[Emrico1]

believes what we do can be done by them if they just have the right software

Know that feel bro



Client says they's do it themselves if they had photoshop.
I turn laptop around with photoshop open, say "go for it"
Client nervously scratches head and says, "I'd need to learn it"
I say, "no, you'd need to spend ten years learning what I have"
Client doesn't go ahead with quote, I find out he says I'm arrogant.
I lol. Suggesting they could do my job while asking me for help isnt?



It's not the fucking god damn software you moron bastards.

[Tandoori]

It's not the fucking god damn software you moron bastards.

Indeed, otherwise I'd be a pro photographer, director, 3D graphics designer, producer and composer. Anyone can get the software, but it's more or less useless unless you know how to use it.

Fuck yeah.

Right on brother.

So true,

Even with an amazing knowledge of a certain software, if you aren't artistic or talented, it doesn't mean shit.
So, software + talent + experience = pro
Not one more than the other. In fact, I know some epic designers that have shit all knowledge of the software, they just get around it with skills.
So when douchey people say otherwise, I react with a certain amount of annoyance. AKA arrogant :suspicion:

At some stage you have to bite back otherwise they'll go on thinking that.

[Emrico1]

Agreed.

Hey, I'd be a surgeon if I just had a scalpel and a mask.
I'd be a F1 legend if I just had a F1 car and a helmet.
I'D BE A FUCKING PORNSTAR IF I JUST HAD A 10" WANGER AND... oh wait I probably would.

Fuck off bro, that's my home you're talking about.

[Retardobot]

Fuck off bro, that's my home you're talking about.

There's no cancer in Pallet Town.

[Tandoori]

Fuck off bro, that's my home you're talking about.

Gang-land of fish & potatoes?

Are you from the Bay of Plenty?

[Tandoori]

I know that this is an over-done meme, but it works particularly well because this guy tends to speak in such a retarded and fragmented way anyhow.

[Retardobot]

HAHAHAHA that was awesome.

[AvatarFACE]

Laughing so hard now.

Stop living in Gisborne.

And skin cancer.

This is nothing but true.

Clients from hell paints a different picture.
Well actually the same picture. Just with some of the words spelt (spelled) funny.
