The most embarrassing moments
Most of my friends and design heroes made up the audience. It was my first major speaking engagement. In 1996 I was invited to speak at the first AIGA National Business Conference. Sean Adams, Acting chair, Undergraduate and Graduate Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design Take your presentation cues from Madonna. The real lesson? Never attempt to cut a curve on heavy-gauge cardboard with a dull blade. The lesson? Obviously, I can’t resist: Don’t cut corners. I tried to hide my Band-Aided finger for the rest of the day. Thirty minutes later, I was back on the job. I stuck my finger in my mouth and ran down the street to REI. But instead, I told myself, ‘You can’t ask they’ll kick you out!’ Then I remembered there’s an REI a block away! They’ll have first-aid kits. In a perfect world, I would have mustered the courage to ask for a Band-Aid right then and there. I was bleeding all over the comp, all over the table, all over the floor. So there I was, a potential liability in someone else’s workspace, and still on a deadline to complete the job. When it was time to cut the cardboard around the curved edge, my hand slipped, and yup, I cut my finger. But these were a heavy gauge cardboard: a much thicker challenge for my X-Acto skills. “The boxes I had done in the past were all on standard card stock. I was bleeding all over the comp, all over the table, all over the floor. We can’t have nonemployees using the facility. And I asked them if I could use their production table. I decided to use a service bureau to get the large-scale printouts I needed. I had ‘comped’ quite a few boxes in my career, so I thought this was going to be just another job.īecause I was freelance, I didn’t have a studio. It was also my responsibility to ‘comp the box’ – make a facsimile of the final packaging. I was freelancing in the 2000s, and I had to design these cardboard shipping boxes for one of my clients. Here are their stories.ĭon’t cut corners when no one is watching.Īrianna Orland, Creative director, and founder of Paper Jam Press
To get us started, Arianna Orland recalls taking a project shortcut and drawing blood, illustrator Ping Zhu remembers botching her first big break with a major publishing house, and Zak Kyes recounts how he flew all the way to Asia just to be mistaken for someone else. In the spirit of having a collective laugh, we asked a few of our favorite designers to relive a time that made their faces burn. Whether we slip up ourselves or miss a thousand and one warning signs, we’ve all had OMG moments. However, with time and distance, we can often look back and smile rather than cry. However poor Sofia also had her share of an embarrassing moment when at the 2012 Emmy Award show, her dress ripped down her back, revealing her back to the whole world.We’ve all had spine-tingling, stomach-roiling episodes of embarrassment.
She’s funny, beautiful and incredibly sexy. All performers should take note and avoid capes! Did someone say rip? Madonna was wearing a cape which one of the dancers was supposed to pull in one fluid motion, however things went south when he pulled it and she went tumbling down. Madonna’s power packed performance on ‘Living for Love’ had larger than life props and crazy dancers. Edna Mode said NO CAPESĮdna Mode, in The Incredibles said she hated capes and rightfully so. Honey next time take a few extra minutes. Christina was probably in a hurry because her tan hadn’t dried yet and the liquid was trickling down her legs. Her legs took the trophy that day because all eyes were there. However her voice was not the center of attention that night. Wonder who she shook hands with next? When Tan gone wrong – Christina AguileraĬhristina Aguilera performed at the Etta James funeral and her performance was heartfelt and beautiful. Things got a little too far when she was seen picking her nose at a public event in New York. But somebody forgot to tell her where to draw the line. She doesn’t shy away from anything and will do whatever she pleases in public. Rosie O’Donnell is known for doing things her own way. This interview was just painful to watch. Uhm, Demi you sure? She explained that she liked mugs because they kept things warm and have nice handles. Demi Lovato was asked about her favorite dish in an interview to which she replied it was a mug. This is a slightly different case of being ‘mugged’. Well, what can we say a little more self-control maybe? Demi Lovato and Mugs In 205 while onstage Fergie peed herself and the wet spot was quite visible on her light colored trousers. Fergie however did not respond to it and ended up embarrassing herself in front of the whole crowd. When the nature calls, you better answer.
