be nice to your Graphic Designer

Do not be nasty to your graphic designer who is doing you favors, wasting her time and not getting paid. She obviously likes you and is willing to cramp her time for you. But she will not do rush jobs for you if you're nasty to her. Being nice to the graphic designer = rush jobs. If you want something done and your graphic designer says "I'm busy from date-A to date-B, if you give me your stuff asap, I can do this for you" and you're lazy and don't get that stuff to your graphic designer - tough shit - now you have to wait since you ignored her numberous requests. This is real life - its not perfect for everyone. Everyone is just disrespecting the graphic designer! so... NO MORE RUSH JOBS I'VE HAD IT WITH THE ABUSE. I have warned everyone for weeks that it's coming down to the wire for me and I have now reached "the wire"! for the next 7 days, it'll be hell with school and after I'll be very happy to help people with projects!

I don't want to be the nasty graphic designer, but everyone seems to think that this is the easiest thing in the world and that it takes 5 seconds to do something well and that it's okay to blow off my responsibilities and screw myself over, and my chances at getting a job with this show coming up and my portfolio due - just to change something for them at the last minute despite my "give these to me as soon as you can" requests. It must be really easy to sit across from your designer and dismiss her talents, capabilities and responsibilities.

Whatever, my inner graphic design is really insulted. Have some respect for you local artists everyone - they may seem unimportant and unintelligent to you, but you're wrong, they help the world go round, and they have lives and they have feelings.
