don't do design work for the nightclub industry. the following formulas apply:
design = clutter
creative = chessey
project list = redundancy
turnaround time = now

pay = slow.

owners = dicks

i would assume 1 plus would be
drinks = free
i could guzzle down a $2,000 invoice in a week.

I've got the same problem kOna, a friend keeps asking how things are going, I keep saying, "do you have any content yet?" Then we have a few beers and forget about the whole thing until he brings it up again.
I should just put a blank page and say, "Look its done, I did the best with what you gave me."

but then again, he hasn't seen the working files, only print outs. :)

no kidding megatron.
he finally sent me some photos. when we first talked i said send me a few shots that i can work into your site.
what does he do? sends me three full cds of photos. of him. i shit you not there were like 50 of him sitting on the couch with a different smile, or his hand was up, he was looking away, he was looking down, he was looking up... it went on and on holy fuck.
i sent them back and said pick 20. unbelievable.

at least you got a cd with photos... i usually get a request that goes something like this:
just get some pictures off the internet.
i have this trick where I like going to getty and getting images and just changing them a little. you should try it.or
photography is included, isn't it?

(Nov 18 05, 10:46)Hilarious, was this some sort of online shrine?
- todelete__20
i was hoping he'd send me club shots, or shots of him spinning in a club. crowd scenes.
nope. 3 cds of him in various locations of his house and 1 cd of him in a recording studio. 1 room, about 130 different photos of him in it. holding one record. holding two records. arms out. arms down. looking left. it was rediculous.
