Anybody else get a brain aneurism when you work on a logo for a client for like three weeks and then when it's all finished they want you to hand it over to their "marketing genius" in JPEG format so that they can design the business cards themselves?
Fuck that noise.

i've just had a client ask for ALL the artwork pertaining to a catalogue we've just done.
erm... it's in quark... so i don't know how much good it'll do you...
but, to be honest, we're so thrilled to see the fucking back of your business that you're welcome to it.
asswipe.

urgh I hate when they ask for all the working files. Seems like they think they can do better, or just hire some in-house guy to update it in a few months.

Were you employed to do the collateral? or just the logo?

i was only commissioned to do the logo and the website. they never said anything about business cards n shit but i heard that they wanted the logo in jpeg so they could put ads in the paper and make business cards with it. like wtf, i know they're gonna butcher the business cards and make the company look like shite now.

that sux man. but you gotta clarify that stuff beforehand to avoid dissapointment.

educate them. some people just don't know any better and would be happy to know why a jpg is not suitable for print.

maybe make some suggestions about usage too, so they can't go too far wrong, if they still fuck it up so what?
you're displaying the logo, not the card :)

i asked them if they needed that kinda shite before starting the job and they said no. now they're asking for the files. i figure i've got better things to do with my time and i'm just gonna move on to my other clients. they can have the logo for all i care. i gave them an ai, eps, pdf, jpeg and tiff.
