Washington Post Commercial

There is a Washington Post commercial that is airing on TV that sums up the life of a designer in the world. The commercial shows a designer working on a project with someone behind him telling him how to lay a project out. The person behind the designer is tell what colors to use and is not allowing the designer to get a word in edge wise. Then their shadows appear in the background. The shadow is a ringmaster making a dog jump through a hoop.

As designers we all have had this feeling. I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!

Hey Phil,

That sounds like a cool commercial. I'm sorry to have missed it. Perhaps I can find it online somewhere. Yeah, there do always seem to be a lot of forces who want to control design. I guess other people often feel invested in how their image is presented. It does make it hard on the designer to be limited within certain parameters.
