In other words : 'have no self respect? can't find a job among people who appreciate design? Come work with Kanye West, a man devoid of any real design intellect that is bad at his day job and therefore has no chance at his side job :)'
a dream come true!
think of it this way. He is going to pump his money into creativity. I think it might be worthwhile to see what comes of it.
Lord have mercy!
Maybe he’ll partner with Gaga. Ridiculous…
got to respect his aspirations.
i wonder how much of this negativity is coming from real designers or creatives? i would hope very little.
i'm actually pretty excited to see what will come out of this. regardless of whether people don't appreciate him or not, i think that stepping out of the music industry and venturing into other creative fields and putting his time/money/efforts into this is a commendable thing.
c'mon guys… can't be worse of someone else already there!
