chilaquil...
Thanks for the lesson. But I did all of that. I am the only person working on a huge corporate website. I did the design, I solved the problems they had with their current site. I gave them stats. I even did storyboards for the site. They changed shit 2 weeks into the project, expecting the same timeline.
After telling them that either we were going to have to extend the time line or give me some overtime, he said, ok we will extend the date to the 27th. He didn't change his meeting date. Now I get screwed because he has 5 other kats posted waiting for an intro.
I know intro's suck. Everyone hates them. At least designers do, but the people that want it, make the rules. No matter what. I can give them stats all day, but if they want it and are going to pay for it, what can I do?
In this case, the intro serves a good purpose. The company just went through a rebrand and wanted to introduce the new logo, new color, and new postergirl to the end user. That is what the intro does. Technology is our friend. So we are using cookies and other scripts to determin if a client has seen the site before or not. If they have, no intro, if they haven't, intro. It is simple. So it doesn't kill anything.
Just venting i guess, but it doesn't make sense where their priorities are right now.
oh well
FRESH!
