I get this all the time:
" I don't know what it is but I like it but it's not there yet. Like I said I don't know what it is but it's not 'there' yet. I need you to get it 'there'. "

d_rek - then don't you ask questions helping them pinpoint where there issues are? If you just sit there and complain you don't know what they want, then help them. We're designers becasue we can articulate the details most others can't. So it's our job to help pull that informaiton from them. That's a big part of why we get paid in my book.

My boss regularly says 'I just wanted to say one thing', and then proceeds to tell me about half a dozen things, starting each point with 'I just wanted to say one thing'. AAAARGH!!

jfletcher,
I sure do ask questions. A lot of them as a matter of fact. Except I consistently get vague open-ended answers with no real direction or clear vision for what it is i'm supposed to be doing. When I start to ask concise, pointed questions about form and concept, time and time again, I get "Well I don't know the answer I just need you to move this around a little bit until it's in the right spot? I'll know it when I see it."
You see what i'm getting at..? It's a vicious cycle of my CD lacking clear vision and direction for projects.

And besides my CD will 'Know it when he sees it' so STFU

And i'm not trying to ride a high horse acting like my shit don't stink or i'm always the most proactive forthcoming designer. But I try my best to be on top of the projects I am involved with. The problem arises when you have a CD who can't articulate their expectations and when you ask them about what it is they want to see they can't articulate that either. It's.... it's.... it's fucking depressing is what it is.

Thanks for the irrelevant post, TheDrago. Was that taking it to the next level, are are you just bitching about your shitty CD?
