The design director skipped work

Let go of Liao.

Wu Zheng sighed.

Instead of hoping that the ruthless director will be allowed to leave, it is better to skip work in person.

But before skipping work, it's better to fix this broken forum first.

Wu Zheng read Jiang Heng's news again and again, six different PPTs, promotional pages, meeting prologue, and exhibition boards, in two and a half days.

This is close to sticking the big words of overtime on his forehead.

Moreover, the design plan needs to allow sufficient time for superior approval.

That is to say, in order to ensure that the task is completed within the time limit, Wu Zheng must determine the style and image before going to work tomorrow, and show it to the leader as soon as possible before proceeding to the next step.

June 7, 3:3 am.

Under the shadow of night, the whole city fell into a peaceful sleep. Wu Zheng sent two PDF files named "Propaganda Page" and "Meeting Preface" to Jiang Heng.

- Standing aloof from the world: Have you ever seen the imperial capital at four o'clock in the morning?

This accompanying text fully demonstrates the hard work and resentment of working overtime until midnight, taking the lead in standing on the moral high ground. After Director Jiang wakes up and sees it, he will definitely condemn himself deeply in his heart, and then blame himself for skipping work again because of guilt. Facts pretend to be invisible.

perfect.

Wu Zheng stretched his waist, raised his head and drew the character "shit" with his head to relieve the pain in his cervical spine.

Before the first dot of "Dung" was drawn, the other party actually replied.

-Jiuyuan Jiang Heng: Received, hard work.

Wu Zheng was taken aback, his first reaction was to check the time again.

-No competition with the world: Director Jiang still not asleep?

-Jiang Heng of the Ninth Academy: Just in time for a report.

- Jiuyuan Jiang Heng: Go to bed early, don't come tomorrow morning, I will give you a rest, if there is anything I will contact you.

Wu Zheng wanted to say something, but after typing the word "you", he felt that it was inappropriate, and he seemed very hypocritical.

He hit backspace to delete, and ended up sending "Okay, thanks."

June 7, 3:9 am.

Jiang Heng was sitting in the director's office, pinching his own jaw quietly to stop his yawning. Deputy directors Wang and Zhao and chief director Wansuo formed a circle and looked at the two sets of PDF files that Cai had typed out.

For this kind of image design needs, Wu Zheng usually prepares three sets of plans.

A set of plan A that the leader actually hopes to choose, a set of plan B to contrast with plan A, and a set of plan C that will never be favored by a stable leader but is not perfunctory when used to make up numbers.

When Jiang Heng presented the plan to the leader, he would arrange it in the order of CAB, so that the leader would be impressed after seeing plan C, and then feel that they can look at other things, and then see that all aspects just meet the needs I was overjoyed with the plan A, and when I wanted to see if there were any other options, I saw the plan B was obviously one level behind, so I decided to choose A decisively.

As for why Jiang Heng, a director, understands this little trick of design...

"Xiao Jiang, where's Wu Zheng?" Wan Suo looked at Plan A with satisfaction, and asked Jiang Heng casually.

"His stomach is not feeling well, he is in the toilet." Jiang Heng replied fluently.

Well, that's it.

Jiang Heng sometimes feels that he is not the director of the exhibition center, but the full-time cover and spokesperson of the design director.

10:08 am.Convention Center Office.

Liang Ziqing was working on a PPT with several hundred pages of word. This was a task assigned to her by Director Wu in the "Design Squad" group at three o'clock in the middle of the night.

She is the "new little girl" that Jiang Heng mentioned yesterday. She just graduated from the school. Because she saw several exhibition logos designed by Wu Zheng on Weibo, she was impressed by his talent and joined the Ninth Academy without hesitation. .

As a newcomer, Liang Ziqing is full of enthusiasm for all work, especially when she thinks that Angkor worked so late yesterday, she is full of motivation to struggle.

While he was working hard, there was a sudden noise next to him.

Liang Ziqing looked up, and saw Director Jiang appearing in front of his desk at some point, holding a large bag of toffee in his hand.

Liang Ziqing looked at Director Jiang nervously. As a newcomer in the workplace, she was full of fear of the leader, fearing that if she did not do well, Director Jiang would come to criticize her.

"Thank you for your hard work, have some snacks." Jiang Heng smiled and put a few pieces of candy on her table.

Liang Ziqing: It's different from what I imagined 0_0

"Thank you, Director!" Surprised, Liang Ziqing responded warmly to Director Jiang's sudden concern on the surface.

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Do it well", and distributed some candies to the other two design girls: Yang Xiaowei and Wang Yingying, and finally grabbed a large handful and put them on Wu Zheng's empty work station.

14:05 in the afternoon.

Wu Zheng woke up with a yawn, and before he could wash up, he picked up his phone to read WeChat.

Sure enough, the screen was swiped by a porter again.

-Jiang Heng of the Ninth Academy: I submitted the plan, and the leader of the Academy chose Case A.Some specific refinement schemes are proposed.

-Jiang Heng of Jiuyuan: Mr. Li proposed to add the emblem of Jiuyuan to the carriage part of the cover, and to add some flowing and line-like, fresh and natural decorations on the car body.

...you just say you want blue waves.Wu Zheng rubbed his eyes.

-Jiang Heng of the Nine Academy: Zhang Chu proposed wow wow, Tian Chu proposed blah blah, BLABLABLABLA...

After reading more than 20 detailed plans, Wu Zheng felt that the blood tank after finally sleeping was emptied again. Although he really wanted to continue disappearing, he still reluctantly replied to Jiang Heng: Received.

- Jiuyuan Jiang Heng: You finally woke up.

-Jiang Heng of Jiuyuan: Do you know how painful it is for me to stay up so late with you yesterday, to report to the director during the day, and to be arrested for a meeting during lunch break?

Wu Zheng was taken aback.

- Nothing to contend with: Didn't you write a report last night?

-Jiang Heng of the Nine Academy: ...

-Jiang Heng of Jiuyuan: I'm sleepy, I just stay up late to write reports.

Wu Zheng didn't suspect him, he swiped up the chat history, found the little raccoon touching his head emoji that Jiang Heng sent yesterday, and sent it back as it was to show comfort.

Then Wu Zheng got up, reached out to turn on the computer, thought for a while but didn't press the switch, turned around to wash, then packed his things and went out.

15:00 in the afternoon.Convention Center Office.

Liang Ziqing was about to cry.

After busy talking for a long time, she finally completed the first PPT, and after handing it over to the director, the director handed it over to Wang for review.

Wang's approval opinions came down quickly:

-There is no problem with the content, and the layout is OK, but the template is not good, please replace it with a template that can make people feel safe.

Liang Ziqing looked at this approval opinion, black question mark.JPG

Where does the template feel safe?

She tentatively made a template surrounded by brick walls on all sides, and added a small notice board in the upper right corner ingeniously.

This plan was rejected by Director Jiang before it could be delivered to Wang Suo.

"I can imagine what Wang Suo would say, it's too cartoony, the style is frivolous, and it doesn't match the style of the propaganda office." Director Jiang said sincerely, "I don't do design, but based on my understanding of the leaders, I suggest that you color Work hard."

A color scheme with a sense of security?

Are you kidding me.JPG

Liang Ziqing desperately asked Baidu "what color can make people feel safe?" Du Niang told her that it was orange, because orange can make people feel the breath of mother.

...This answer has a look of rejection.

But she still adjusted an orange template and handed it to the director as if it were a living horse doctor. After a while, the director brought Wang Suo's answer.

-It's a little better, but it's too ostentatious, and it's suspected of overwhelming the host. Change to a calmer one.

The expected answer, Liang Ziqing changed to gray.

- too dull.

...in bright blue!

-Insecure.

When Wu Zheng walked into the office, what he saw at the first sight was Liang Ziqing, who was mad in front of the computer with his head in his hands, with color palettes open in front of him, and Xiaowei, Yingying and Xiaowei who were sympathetic and helpless. A director who claims to have no rest.

"Save Ziqing, Angkor." Yang Xiaowei asked Wu Zheng for help, "She's going to go crazy with the PPT template."

"What is the director's request?" Wu Zheng asked.

"A color with a sense of security." Liang Ziqing said with a blank look and a dull expression, "Orange is too flamboyant, gray is too dull, purple is a little frivolous, blue is unsafe, light green is too dazzling, red is dangerous, Black is too rigid, white is too simple."

Jiang Heng, Yang Xiaowei, and Wang Yingying all showed painful expressions following Liang Ziqing's desperate ravings. They had been brainstorming for more than half an hour just now, but in the end they received a bunch of rejections.

The more Wu Zheng listened, the more strange his eyes became: "Why are you using those colors? Change it to a yellow background with black characters and black borders. For yellow, use R249, G236, U0, and the black borders are slightly thicker."

"Is this really possible?" Liang Ziqing asked in a daze, sounding unreliable.

"It should be fine." Wu Zheng said, "The sense of security he wants is the color of the safety signs on the road."

……

With a lightning-struck expression, Liang Ziqing adjusted the yellow and black color scheme of the safety sign Wu Zheng said, and handed it over to Wang for review again.

- Make the black border more refined, and the yellow color a little lighter, so as not to overwhelm the guest.

"It means that this template has been drafted, and the saturation of the background color should be lowered, so as not to steal the limelight from the text." Wu Zheng translated thoughtfully.

Liang Ziqing nodded movedly, thinking that he could understand the meaning of this, Angkor's EQ is too high!

After the matter was settled, Wu Zheng was just about to sit back at his work station, when he saw a lot of toffee on the table at a glance: "Who put so many toffee in my place, and threw it in a mess."

Jiang Heng, who was about to return to the office, paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

Just about to leave as if nothing had happened, Wu Zheng suddenly called out: "Director."

Jiang Heng paused again, and turned around: "What?"

Wu Zheng grabbed a handful of toffee and handed it to Jiang Heng: "Eat something sweet, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Heng took the toffee with a delicate expression and returned it to his hand after going around in a circle. Although there was no expression on his face, there was a trace of tenderness at the end of his eyes.

Finally, he raised his eyes and raised the corner of his mouth at Wu Zheng: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I don't like sweets, and I get toothaches," Wu Zheng said.

Jiang Heng: ...

"You said I gave him sweets out of good intentions, why did he humiliate me?" Ten seconds later, Wu Zheng asked Liang Ziqing in a daze.

High emotional intelligence?

"I don't know anything, I'm just a tool to modify the PPT." Liang Ziqing stared at the PPT in front of him, and said very sincerely.
