Graphic designer friend told me my logos were 'too safe' and it messed with my whole process
Had a buddy look over my portfolio last month, the kind of guy who does album art for underground bands. He said I was designing stuff that looked like it could be for a bank, no edge at all. Has anyone else gotten feedback that made you totally rethink your style, even if it felt wrong at first?

Yeah that kind of feedback stings but it actually helped me loosen up a ton.

ben402 that's exactly what happened with me a few years back. I had this guy in a workshop just stop me mid sentence and say "dude, you're thinking too hard just say what you want to say." It annoyed me at first but after that I stopped trying to sound smart and just started talking normal. Funny how a little blunt honesty can snap you out of your own head.
