To the smaller agencies / clients of which I'm a 3rd party designer to your main client that think by handing off a PDF packed w/YOUR CLIENT's comments / discussions / non-prescriptive and even prescriptive obvious changes that it's then my job as your designer to INTERPRET THAT CRAP and 'choose' which text to update and which to ignore etc... take a hike w/that nonsense... flush that nonsense internally through your writers / legal and provide clear and concise text changes so I can go about designing... <3

- copy pasting client feedback is now the norm... at least you're getting consolidated feedback? some projects are just rolling notes throughout the dayjonny_quest_lives
- no way to run an agency... hidden factories just eating up resources.jonny_quest_lives
- One of my PMs is a genius and can write and interpret strategically, and collaborate with me smartly. The other passes on garbage it’s so infuriating.monospaced
