doing this brochure type job... left some nice white space .... as we tend to do .... client says ... you might as well put a colour in there instead of the white, it wont cost any extra
bizarro!

Had someone recently ask to have the site-wide font changed from Tahoma to Arial, noting that there'd be a "big difference in appearance."
After the font was Arial for a week of testing and content entry, I was asked "Can you make sure a designer changes the site font to Arial? It doesn't look any different yet" or something like that.
Big difference, eh?

I used to work putting client art on clothing templates and my biggest logo was a W that took up most of the front torso. Since the shape allowed for it, I didn't think they'd mind me distorting the W logo a bit so I could put the ends further up towards the shoulder. They didn't.
It was absurd.

The best way to handle these requests is psychology. Keep in mind one thing, clients want to feel important and involved. If you tell them what they know is wrong, and just throw 'better' designs at them, pride often gets in the way of rational thinking, even when they know they are wrong. The best way to get them to your way of thinking is just to make them feel like the are the ones driving, rather than you. Never show them something that they can't provide input on so they feel involved. You real talent comes from making them want what you want, but in their minds, it must appear to all be about them.
- It's a fine balance though. Overdo it and they stop paying you to design and you become an artworker as they think they do all the design anyway.

We just created a mockup for a client, with just comps from a stock libraries, but because the client didn't have money to pay for the rights to the image, they asked.
" Can we also maybe take a photo of the screen in hi res? Would it work?"
brilliant! laughed my tits off!

Happened friday.
We're working on a banner campaign. The deadline was friday evening and we were almost there with everything. On fri, at 18:30, after we sent over the last revised banners the client said: I don't know.... we don't really like our brand's colours... can you just try different color solutions?
