being honest

in a world becoming quickly and obsessively a do-it-yourself-everything, someone will inevitably one day come and ask you the painful question.

the most difficult time for being honest is when someone designed something on their own and asks a professional designer for their opinion on the final result. i say, be diplomatic and start with the positive. be gentle when you get to the negative.

as for the doers of such doings, if you can help it, please don’t ask. we love you and we just don’t want to hurt your feelings.
