Where’d you go to school? Savannah? Parsons? Ringling? The Art Institutes of Blank? Awesome, that’s a great start. I assume you have mastery of one or several Adobe programs? Excellent, that’s good to know.
Well guess what? None of that means absolutely shit when you’re in the REAL working world, because 90% of the jobs you’ll be doing on a regular basis in working America will involve you primarily working with Microsoft Office products! The holy grail of computer software, that can do absolutely nothing everything for absolutely nobody everyone!!!!!!!
Adobe InDesign may have trounced Quark as the standard within the Creative class when it comes to layout and publishing, but in the Corporate class, InDesign isn’t even worthy enough to take the soiled tissues that the almighty POWERPOINT uses to wipe its ass, and drop it into the toilet for it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s the sad and unfortunate truth. PowerPoint is the crown jewel of software greatness, as it’s WAY “easier” than Flash at embedding/playing video files, and so MUCH more “efficient” when it comes to creating forms and performing layout tasks!!
Adobe Photoshop may be an efficient tool amongst you nerds for making your memes and cheezeburgers, editing pictures of cats and putting esoteric jokes on top of existing graphics, but when it comes to true graphic design excellence, look no further than MICROSOFT WORD as the gold standard when it comes to getting shit done. It only takes a genius level intellect to realize that none of the functions are decipherable without the assistance of Google to look up how the most logical of ideas are executed. Word does everything. Photoshop can only crank out lame jokes, while Word CAN WRITE. Not only can it write, it comes with a library of pre-existing CLIP ART which are fail-proof when it comes to accentuating points and messages. And you can drag and drop graphics from the internet RIGHT INTO Word, without needing to concern yourself about copyrights and photographic rights!
It’s cute that you guys went to art school or have a wealth of experience when it comes to using “design pro-grams,” but let’s get real, you guys. If you want to make it in the real world, you got to be able to use the almighty Microsoft products in order to get there.
