All content exists accept for the content they failed to design / take account of... ... they're waiting on nothing from the client.
Let me ask you this... ... if the designs have everything 'new' in them... is it really my job to pull content line by line from a PSD (that's 300 dpi by the way)... ... and to do this for 20+ pages?
These aren't quick paragraphs - these are short descriptions that were simply copy / pasted text boxes in photoshop... adding up to literally hundreds of text boxes to select and copy/paste from.
Does it make sense to ask a developer to open over 600meg worth of PSD's just to extract the final content?
That's just ridiculous... and poor management at that. If there are content changes... why not make them up-front in a nice piece of IA and keep updating that one IA doc instead of going back into the PSD's over and over again?... ... put everything you can into that IA too... from project contacts to server passwords etc...
***forwarding an email does not equate to efficient Project Management***
Time Management doesn't seem to cross the minds of those expecting folks like me (developers) to A.) work quickly... and B.) give them an accurate time estimate...
... it all adds up - especially when you leave it to one person (the developer) to keep all your content together... ... especially if you're an 'interactive agency' and not the end client...
...or... am I out of line?
