the best i ever had.
me: after speaking with them over the phone and explaining what my concept would have been, a very lovely use of white and some red/gray text.
"our corporate color is red, can you make the whole site different shades of red with white text?"
me: um, i don't advi... sure, whatever you'd like (i actually did the home page the way they wanted it just to mind fuck them.)
(2 days later and 10 minutes after posting the revision)
"um.... we can't read the text, theeeeeeee site is REALLY loud and hurts our eyes. this is horrible. can we do something else?"
me: i was just designing it as you requested, which as i recal was the opposite of what i wanted to do. i even told you this wouldn't work but you insisted. i can go back and rework it if you'd like.
"YES, PLEASE"
me: you do know i'm charing by the hour....
