Freakin’ Wal-Mart Designers!

Stop the Wal-Mart Designers!
What causes a designer to use Microsoft Publisher? I’m thinkin’ it would have to be crack! Or better yet the moron who designs something in PowerPoint and wants it printed. These people should be stopped.

If they stopped, we'd all be out of work. Treasure those morons and realize how much smarter you are than them.

i work on a college campus, you can only imagine the number of kids who come in here and want 2 megapixel jpegs of their frat party kegstand printed 3 feet by 3 feet on our wideformat printer. I agree that without these idiots we would all be unemployed. As long as i am never employed by one of these "idiots" i will remain content.

Wrong choice of words.
They're not designers. They're as you said morons... idiots.. uneducated, you pick! Designers use INDD and the like.

FWIW, Walmart designers tend to work in Indesign and submit pretty decent pdf's.

Hey, I'll take the WalMart designers just as long as they hand me a PDF. There's a lot of money in that market...
