hmmm..... I rarely SAW things like this written, but I HEARD things more like "this client hates green, so we have to change the color scheme"
Wasn't written in case client saw the comps with notes.... he'd be pissed off....

When I'm approving or critiquing work, I always try to be specific. Saying "I don't like it" or "start over" is bullshit, and offers no value on how to improve (well, maybe start over does). Backing up suggestions helps the designer with..... wait for it..... direction!
Otherwise, you get into unnecessary rounds of revision from a designer who's trying to read your/client's mind.- < also, I realize this isn't what the original post requested.bulletfactory

"There's a sameness to the negative space. Give it some more contrast."
"Hang your punctuation."
"The concept is too obvious."
"The concept is too arcane."
"Introduce some asymmetry. The page needs more tension."
"That looks a bit like a vagina."

"Maybe I wasn't clear enough – I wanted you to do something COOL with this..."
Heard by me for the first (and last) time in my first year in the biz – it worked ;D

just got one today for a high-end property development website. on a post-it, stuck to my monitor:
"site looks fantastic! works perfectly on my computer. but i think a child browsing the website would have a hard time going through the site. revise the navigation!"
