The KYB Billboard
What happens when you design-by-committee
What happens when you design-by-committee
Few projects have left me feeling like such a button-pushing monkey than this billboard. I was excited at first, to do my first billboard. It’s literally the largest thing I’ve ever created. It’s 48 feet wide by 14 feet tall.
However, being such a costly purchase, the entire management team wanted to provide input into the design. I mean the entire management team, including executives from our parent company. Our parent company is located in Japan. Needless to say the cultural differences contributed to the friction on the project.
Overall, I feel this project is a failure. I exhibit here as an example of what happens when you hire a graphic designer, then don’t let him design.
