"Change the design cause it looks too much like print design"
- version30
what's stupid is that you complain instead of clarify

...as he continues to complain to people who don't care...
clarify their statement and make the appropriate changes, you're only wasting time and energy on me.
that's a fact

I just designed a luggage tag for a client that specifically asked for reverse italics. Looks like fresh shart.

Thats what they wanted, a motion blur and a super skew. Luckily we have a good relationship wit that client and still make fun of him for it.

"hey, we've just sold our domain name - can you transfer it to to the new owner"
"actually, we own that domain and lease it to you yearly, it's in the contract, you just renewed last month for the upcoming year. if you'd like to buy it from us, the price is also in the contract."
"hmm, well, we sold if for less that what you're buy-off price is... we don't want to lose money here... how can you help us make money with this?"
"perhaps you should let the new owner know that you don't actually own it, and direct them to us. we can probably save them money by letting them assume your old contract"
"no can do, we've already billed them, cashed the check, and spent the money- we'll need a different option, thanks. you just send them a copy of the url or password anyway, right? - look forward to hearing back"
"basically, yes - we send them a photo of a thumbs-up expression, which gives them the go-ahead to use the domain. then we pinky-promise and spit on the ground and turn and walk our separate ways. how much did you sell it for, i'll see what we can work out."
"we went with the go daddy price of 9.99"
"i think you should give them their money back..."

clients are mental from time to time but good designers have empathy.

I asked for a PO number - the clients reply was 'make up your own'
I explained that isn't the way it's meant to be, so he came back 2 minutes later with '123456'He's a marketing 'director'

While doing a small catalogue the client, an old lady really nice by the way. Asked me if I could open the eyes of her grandson in a photo.
I thought it was a very silly request....- hahaHombre_Lobo
