Usually people respect it but sometimes I am convinced they don't see it is even there. There are a couple of times I have felt like a puppet and I did not like it. I have moved on and learned andgrown from those experiences. On the other hand, I, like you, more often than not have some faith in feedback that may not be what I originally envisioned. I too take it as an opportunity to "stretch" and possibly create something even cooler than what the original was!<BR/>I think the key is listening to our instincts about these things, and then being very diplomatic with regards to communication skills.

It has been a tough week of trying to balance more than a few client "visions" with my own creative instincts and skill limitations. I often loose myself in the process and end up feeling like nothing more than a tool in my client's hands trying to carve out their dreams and their creative visions. Commercial art is such a tough balance. I do my best.artpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548549948218554126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10963137.post-62974718238890751452008-09-24T12:54:00.000-07:002008-09-24T12:54:00.000-07:00great post and artwork rebecca.i love how insightf...great post and artwork rebecca.<BR/>i love how insightful and honest you are.Archie and Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650510881195544040noreply@blogger.com
