my favorite was someting that happened to a friend..
the client had a jpg that was like 400 x 400
and she asked him if he could "zoom in and clarify" a certain area of the image...
and he just looked at her and was like, uh no, that image is what it is...
and she went all crazy and said you mean with todays technology you cant zoom in and clarify?! I see it on CSI all the time!fucking classic all time fav
- HAHA...come on, do some CSI.akrokdesign
- she deserves to be knocked down with a tv set.vrmbr

im having to instruct an egyption designer via MSN. its not going well... having given him numerous samples of the quality of work i want and the content in full hes knocked something out that looks like a basic MSWord document... dude has no concept of grid, balance, use of imagery, typography, colour, graphics... its DRIVING ME NUTS and hes now having a cow with me over it saying im unreasonable
its like showing luxury cars to someone and saying we need to produce something to compete with those and then they produce a battered fiat panda
GRRRRR!
- update: Fiat panda is too close... so lets say a cheapo plastic market skateboard from the 80'strooper
