Chill dog. Criticism is the troll of the artist who puts their work out there. You just have to accept it and move on. I freelance write. You get LOTS of rejections. Chucking a fit everytime someone does not like your work is at best, a waste of energy, at worst, juvenile. Not everyone is gunna love your stuff no matter how good it is. Deal with it or quit.
exactly.
take from it what you can to improve, don't be precious about your work (it's the work being critiqued, not its author), and always consider the source. I have had stuff ripped to pieces by some while applauded by others. The trick is in comprehending which are doing you the favour. An unbalanced critique is a flawed critique; if it becomes a vehicle purely to soapbox the critter, then it fails. If it throws roses where cabbages are more apt, it fails.
I didn't attempt to offer a true critique of his work, since I have only limited knowledge in the area of advertising - but I can offer opinions and when he presents it here, NOT a critique forum, then all he can expect are people's quickie opinions. Why should he expect them to invest a lot of time in his work???
