As I gain experience in this industry I've begun to hear similar things repeated over and over. Myths or truths that spread around. Wanted to know if you guys had heard these or some other ones I don't mention:
I've heard a bunch of versions of the coffee stain story. As the legend goes, a scenic charge and designer had a bad working relationship and the designer was taking a long time getting a rendering of a drop to the paint department. When it finally showed up, there was a ring of coffee stain on it, and the disgruntled artist painted the stain into the drop. Other versions have the designer specifying a blue sky drop, without a swatch or color number. So the artist picks the nastiest neon blue she can.
Other legend is the luan one. Story has it that luan is so crappy because they just chop the trees down in Malaysia, load them onto the factory ship and the ship makes the sheet goods on its way across the ocean.
Anyone heard these?
