I’ve decided to do a serious of mini posters outlining some of the more frustrating things clients have said to me over the past 20 odd years. I have pulled many a hair out and been brought to the brink of tears at times … but mostly it’s just funny!!
I do appreciate that many of you (clients) won’t actually see the humour or get why it’s a source of frustration. To you I simply say ‘sigh’!! Please do not take offence. A day in the life of maverick would not be complete if I didn’t have to ‘break it down’ once or twice.
I also get that designer jargon can be confusing and while I secretly seethe, I only get cranky with my most trusted and understanding clients (they always forgive)!! Hey … if I can’t be a precious designer, then who can?
I hope you love them. The series images are available in the ‘gallery’ of the website … in the ‘maverick moments’ album.
I had to laugh at the word document one. I once got a low res mono scan inserted into a word document. It was very thoughtful of them, but not much help for a 3 square metre sign.
Hey Daniel – you have to laugh or you’ll cry lol!!!
Hi Trace, Love the site and this idea,
Heres’s one I’m sure you have heard when clients supply artwork from another “Professional Designer”
they exclaim “It looks fine on my screen” I started a jar and put $1 in everytime I heard those imortal words –
we went to France on the proceeds.
Gracious. I think you might be onto something there! Hahahaha. The old ‘dollar for every’ could make me millions!
