There are advantages of having names that are easy to spell and names that sound like an alphabet. One example is the alphabet 'J'. With names like that, it is easy to spell, easy to pronounce, easy to recall... you can basically just use it anywhere, like submitting it to a publisher. This 'J' submitted a piece of work, firstly he did not credit the studio and secondly from what I believe he did not even get any consent/permission to submit the work. The only thing that wasn't missing in the book was his name, the client (starts with 'H' ends with 'Z') and the project. Other info like the design studio, the CD and the AD were omitted.
I think the names are difficult to spell out, especially when the design studio starts with a 'F' and ends with a 'O', the CD starts with 'Y' ends with 'D', the AD, who this 'J' worked under for the project starts and ends with a 'N', and way too many alphabets
in their names.
It is as if the entire project was done by him only and the client hired him for that, which is not true. The piece of work was awarded to the studio. The work by right and by law (IPOS Law) belongs to the studio and not 'suka suka' just take and submit. He is being unethical as a person and as a designer and also he is not grateful to the design studio and people who gave him the chance to work on the piece of work. Now that the work is published, he has claimed all the credits. I could have thrown in some of Rockson's abbrevation here! Its ok, bad things spread fast! Personally, I feel 'J' has become the worst alphabet, and in time to come, others will find out the truth and agree with me.
I have submitted works to awards competitions and publications before, it is unlikely that the publishers made a mistake of not printing the other names. So, what went wrong?
