Re: Questions about Question 7

For the most part, I have supported the missions of each company that I have worked for. However, in my first design job out of undergrad, I was involved in an ad campaign for a certain local health club, which received a lot of negative feedback for being too "edgy". Long story short, some billboards went up on 83, which were poking fun at people who needed to get rid of their "muffin tops", and it ended up really offending many members of the health club. So, it was a pretty awkward having to explain to angry members why the company chose to run those ads. Either way, I suppose it's our job as designers to put our personal opinions aside (as much as we can), to come up with the best solution that will make our customer happy.
