Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Believe in Me_1

Shen Dong knew his temper well, and it was normal for Mr. Ma to disagree. Who would believe someone who had never touched graphic design before? If he were in his shoes, he would never believe in such a person. But others didn’t know that he too had experienced similar situations. Moreover, having the draft made the graphic design work not that difficult.

However, he couldn’t just carelessly suggest changes because no one could perfect something in just one try. It would raise suspicions, which could be troublesome. So, it was better to handle the modifications personally.

Once he had finished editing and sent it over, if he was asked about his thoughts, he would say what he wanted. He couldn’t possibly say he got it right in one go. That would be too suspicious, and he didn’t want to do it that way. It would only earn him a reputation of arrogance, which didn’t really matter.

"Let Mr. Shen try designing it himself. I have things to do here, so I will hang up now. We can get in touch later if needed," said Mr. Ma before hanging up the phone. Then he began selecting other proposals, convinced that Shen Dong’s proposal would not be accepted.

Below, people were cautiously asking which one to use. Mr. Ma spoke up, "When it comes to you, revise it again. None of these are quite right. If you can revise and find the right one, I will reward you generously. You must try your best."

After those words, Mr. Ma no longer stayed outside. On one hand, he was hopeful, never quite getting the feel he wanted from the designs. On the other hand, he worried that the group might never come up with what he desired. He might have to stick with the big brother image, which could hinder their progress.

A good icon can be instantly memorable; if not too ordinary, it would have something special that sticks with people. So, he hoped they would try harder. Returning to his room and lying on his bed, he started pondering which one to use.

Shen Dong sat in front of the computer and opened that version of Photoshop. The current Photoshop was still not perfect; if you wanted to tweak some details, you could only add a few minor touches. The functionality was many times worse than what he had encountered on that computer before. But he had no choice under the current conditions.

He had to make do with what he had, and fortunately, he could barely remember where some features were. Though it was a struggle at times, checking some online resources helped a lot.

Now was not the time to be completely thorough about every feature. Adding a small scarf as an adornment felt like groping in the dark, and it took a long while. Thankfully, after much tweaking, he settled on this version, even though it looked a bit ugly.

If he sent this icon as it was, it would surely be rejected. It was almost unbelievable that he could have created it himself – it was simply too painful to look at.

I refuse to believe it, I can’t replicate the earlier version I made. Even if I’ve forgotten how the very first version looked, I should be able to recreate what came after. Whatever it takes, I must keep trying – even if it means staying up all night.

When Shen Dong resolved to do something, he would persist until the very end, insisting on completing the task to his satisfaction. So he deleted that version and started over, over and over, until finally, he settled on a version he liked. A particularly cute little penguin with a small hat on its head, all designed with the latest technology.

It took him a particularly long time to figure out how to create it. If Shen Dong couldn’t do it, then probably no one could. The small details were later uncovered by netizens and posted online, but soon they sank like stones in the sea.

It was during one of those instances that Shen Dong chanced upon an old version that most people wouldn’t bother studying. It was he alone who closely examined it, and now he finally remembered those details, which made all the difference.

At last, this was his final version. Now it was time to see what else needed changes. After reviewing it back and forth, he made an adjustment to the little penguin’s blush, resulting in a truly perfect and adorable little penguin that appeared before his eyes. He saved it right away, opting for a JPG format, and sent it to Mr. Ma.

He hoped Mr. Ma would approve directly. Mr. Ma had adopted this version before, and although Shen Dong hadn’t made many changes, some of the techniques were still beyond his skill level. He knew he could have done even better if he had studied more.

After sending the image, he sent a WeChat message, "Mr. Ma, please check if this meets your expectations or if there’s anything that needs to be changed. If there is, just let me know, and I’ll make the adjustments."

Having said that, he didn’t concern himself with anything else, just waiting for the reply. He was confident about this proposal, certain it would be accepted. Even someone as picky as him was satisfied; why wouldn’t Mr. Ma be?

Lying in bed, incredibly bored, Mr. Ma suddenly heard the distinctive sound of a message on his computer. Perplexed about who might be messaging at this time, he considered it might be important since he couldn’t sleep anyway.

He got up and turned on the computer. After booting it, he saw the most unforgettable design of his life. Earlier, worry over the design had kept him awake, but now he completely relaxed.

This image was simply too perfect; he had never imagined a penguin could be designed as this adorable Q-version. If he had seen this design earlier, he wouldn’t have had any trouble sleeping. Who could have created something so perfect?

He had been so eager to see the image that he didn’t pay attention to the sender. Now, looking, he found the name to be both familiar and unbelievable.
