We had an ad presentation for class today and the teachers - also creative director and president of an ad company in Des Moines - really liked our campaign.
The only problem was, they hated the part I did.
I feel like I am wallowing in a pile of mud. My team-mates are easy to work with, nice and funny and just...too goddamned capable. Well, no. They're just so good at graphic design and copy that it makes me and my work seem flat. I mean...I came up with some of the concept and direction of this campaign and they fleshed it out. Nobody liked the radio copy. I did the radio copy.
It depresses me.
I feel like shit. This was my chance to shine, too. My work is lame. In fact, as the president of the company said...my work was "ngeh".
Haha. Not only am I a bad actor, I'm apparently a bad copywriter too. Wow, can my future seem any more bleak? Okay, don't answer that...the last time I posed that question, bad things happened.
Is this the precedent for this semester? I'm currently responsible for pulling props for a play, designing costumes for a musical and directing my own play. I feel like this is going to be one of those..."oh, you tried your best but it's really not what we wanted and it's definitely not enough" seasons.
I'm going to take a shower and...think happy thoughts.
