The most black-hearted, sick fucks in art direction are the poor bastards who spent bucketloads of money at a good art school only to find themselves working a 10pm-5am shift with a bunch of yahoos straight out of college making minute adjustments in a high volume, high stress environment. Anytime I see an awkward, ironic, or inappropriate contextual ad in a paper- I see the faces of my old graphic design manager and art director snickering over a lightbox.; 8:42 PM
