Alexito123 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I'm confused on how to deal with this situation. We are both working on the same design, both come from an art background. I have been given most of the creative control over our designs for the past 3 years. Recently whenever we work together on designs, we get into a fight. It came out in our last fight that I think I'm better at design...UGH! I dont know how to deal with or convey not liking what he designs. How can we find a way to creatively work together?
Moose Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I'm assuming you're talking about your husband. Who's on top of the pecking order, or is this a private business where both of you are 50/50 partners?

I was a graphic designer for 11 years.. That has to be the worst place for two emotionally involved people to work.. Graphic designers are IMO the worst 'competitors'.. I have no advice other than find yourself a partner that is NOT in the art business... too much jealousy and competition IMO... Or just compromise about each other designs.. no more comments about the other one's design.. simple..
