  1. Somebody's ticked off customer

  12. Dan inspired design

    The vast majority of "designers" can't and nothing has ever made that as evident as the wrap industry. Always consider the source of the critique BEFORE you consider the critique. That said, instead of ripping down your design you could have left it up and kept working on it and posting the...
