Not only did a client recently request "make the logo bigger", but now they're coming back to us with "make the print ads look like the website". Not just colors and style mind you, but EXACTLY like the website. They just sent over PSD files that I now have recreate high res for print. And their website has some "really great" screws, bolts, gloss, and brushed metal. Holy shit if I could just invite every client to the office one day, line em up, and blast em all through the heart like Indy Jones it would be the greatest day of my career.

haha. i hear you man.
just last week i had a phone conversation with a client whos site is literally jpgs with image maps said to me "we want this site edgy with a lot of motion but NO FLASH. all gif animations. OH. and we want ROLLOVERS for our links."
like this is 1995 all over again.
i had to shove the phones microphone in to my leg to muffle my laughing.

Ah yes, always the same with these swine.
I just now had one of these situations.Client: We want a square.
Me (next day): Here's your square, sir.
Client: Ugh. Y'know...it would have nice to have seen something more like a circle.

on the one hand, I have to be grateful to them for paying me a living wage
on the other, I hate them
