As much as it is tempting to look at someone else’s work and say “EWWW, that sucks donkey balls”<\/em>, I’ve always tried not to do it.<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0 I think my uncle would say I don’t have the killer business spirit where I rail on my competitors and climb to the top.\u00a0 No, it’s not that.<\/p>\n

I just firmly believe that any design is the result of a relationship you have with your designer. It’s a one-on-one experience that involved tons of meetings with you, dozens of phone calls, socializing, etc resulting in a design that was interpretted by your designer to fit what you wanted.\u00a0 I wasn’t there to hear what you decided in those meetings, I didn’t listen in to your phone call conversations, I’m not as familiar with your business yet…..so who am I to judge about that design?<\/p>\n
