You know when you need a logo but no one is sending you vector art so you find a PDF they have published and pull it from that. I always feel so sneaky. It's like our industries creative Black Ops.

In August I started walking a lot two days a week and changed my eating habits. So far I’ve walked 80+ miles and have lost 30lbs. I really didn’t want to do it today, cold, drizzly but I got another 3.25 miles in. My goal is at least -50lbs.

This is why I can't trust Adobe Illustrator. Snapping is on but and it acts like it works. But zoom in 7500 and you see this. Ugh! Such a basic feature that you simply cannot trust. It's approaching ten years and the Ai team is still ignore this bug.

Leaving MAX today. My overall takeaway, you’ll see a lot more crappy vector art moving forward. The ‘Text to Vector’ generative ai feature should be titled ‘Text to Clip-Art.’ All the reels you’ll be seeing hyping it won’t scrutinize the unoriginal and poor craftsmanship.

I created 18 design directions for a client. Their committee couldn’t make a decision, so they had someone else submit a design and loved it. It made me feel like a failure. Then I see the chosen design on Instagram, and it’s horse shit. Now I don’t feel bad at all. #goodriddance

This is for ALL design programs: If you teach Illustrator ban the use of generative AI in your class assignments and teach your students how to create their artwork from scratch. Don’t be lazy. Make them appreciate craftsmanship and the process of creating original ideas.
