I told her "I don't give a shit if they're produced. If they're not as good as the best piece in your book, leave them out". <br />I'm with you, Rich. I'd rather see how a writer or art director thinks when no one's watching than see some crappy ad for a big name brand. <br />Bottoms up to you & your dad.rebrivvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504757685273774659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958990354598975042.post-80740128760176872222013-04-16T11:28:50.508-07:002013-04-16T11:28:50.508-07:00Oh, and thank you Carrie.

Ironically, the more times you read the ad the more you feel (exactly the opposite of what happens with the more Chivas you drink). Would love to see the others in the campaign. Again, it's an ad I wish I'd written. You have to stop that.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307986487573583915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958990354598975042.post-46234386368996726262013-04-16T10:12:12.610-07:002013-04-16T10:12:12.610-07:00Damn.

On the subject of non-creative people judging creative work, it is a sad necessity in any artistic endeavor (I supposed advertising is included in that in a fringe element sort of way). But when i think of true creativity, I think Vonnegut put it best when he said “Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. It's like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.” I need a drink.Carrie Talickhttp://carrietalick.comnoreply@blogger.com
