Example:
we had a client who complained about the weight of banner adds, after a month of make
“it lighter”
we asked what she meant, her response-
” 8 kilos is far to heavy for a banner add ”
this ones funny too:
Client: “Don’t you have a book of images I can choose from”
Client “I like this billy joel cover..take it and recreate it, scan this picture of him and put my head in it”
Client: “Make the Logo bigger”
Client: “I can get this 4 color PMS job printed for 100.00″
Client: “the designer at Kinkos said they would only charge me 50.00 to layout my brochure”
Clients, we cant live with em, infact thank god we cant.
If anyone has a good one add it as a comment. (we don’t want to know client names!!!)
funny how things change…
“Why does it say Made with Macromedia on the cover? Macromedia should pay us for thier logo on our CD”
“Don’t you get them from the web?” - refering to all the graphics and animations….
Some of the best ones I know are from Owner / Managers of design companys though…
“They (The client) only think its good because we tell them it is” - Client was a large software provider
“Some people say function is more important than design, I disagree. If it doesn’t look nice, no one is going to use it……If users machines won’t have the font, we make the text an image” - every page ended up being a sliced up jpeg with hotspots.
“This is just a quick one (site for large mobile phone producer), I get them to pay again for a proper one later”
“We could get a model with big (cupping his man boobs)…… like a wonderbra one”
“I really like the Jameson Whiskey advert”
