I’m not really huge into pier design, but i do make exceptions and they seem mostly to be very good sessions. But at times it’s just like nails to a chalkboard, and my heart just sinks to the deepest levels of depression. You’ve created something nice and people like it but they give some good advice and changes. I like feedback, negative or positive, but constructive feedback. There are always times when your designs get ripped to shreds, but how are you going to get better if it doesn’t? I’ve developed a thick skin and live for the feedbacks as long as it’s contructive. If not then you just sound like a know it all that’s full of shit. Back to pier design, this week my fellow designers felt my pain and cringed as my structured comp was turned upside down - they felt sorry for me. The end result had changes that weren’t discussed at the initial design review. It might have been cool if you were hopped up on weed and working for a design studio in the 70’s with the target audience as were other hopped up design studios.
