What a boring title.
?
Regardless, when I was deployed to Iraq, one of my side jobs was to Photoshop information awareness signs. One of my handbill I was making was to alert people that American forces have Predator drones in the air that are watching for people who are digging on the side of the roads. One tactic that terrorist groups used was to place explosive devices on the side of roads. The idea was to make the people of Iraq feel as if we are always watching to help cut down terrorist attacks on US soldiers.

I was what they call a ?Good Idea Fairy?. If you gave me a theme, I could make a pretty good product (handbill) out of it. My creativity surpassed the average soldier, so it was common for many guys to leave the customization to me. The guy who requested the Predator product basically let me have free range. After I finished it, I sent it to him. He would ask me to do one small change, so I would fix it and send it back. This ?fixing? issue went on for two months as the guy could not relay WHAT he actually wanted back to me, resulting in minor changes each time. I was beginning to become so ?upset? with this guy that I Photoshopped some discrete ?profane? words into the handbill and sent it back to him. He never caught on to it and that product ended up cycling around northern Iraq for millions of Iraqis to see.
?
So, the thing is, if someone else is doing work for you, make sure you are clear and concise to WHAT you want done, especially if it is a?specialty?job like Photoshop. If you don?t, I will make sure I make you feel stupid.
