Well done, gave me a real laugh!
:-B, yeah, thats is it often …
Lol…this perfectly illustrates what happens many times…
Sad but true…….
They forgot the part about the fact that the boss’ 15 year old son drew the sketch!!!
sad to say .. but that has happened to me
I can’t tell you the amount of times that has happened to me…
HA! been there, done that
I will say it once again:
Been there, done that!
I really like your works! Love this one!
That’s it, Winters.
I’m now asking: Can I be the first Portugues translator to Freelance Freedom strips? I’m going to publish ‘em on my blog, to lots and lots of freelance designers im connected to.
Same way this strips represent my professional life, it does with theirs too.
Loved this one. Not all the clients say the last words, but I’m PRETTY SURE that’s what they’re thinking.
Thanks!
ouch!
…That’s it! I’m raising my prices, and charging all my hours! LOL
Hahaha, so right!
this reminds of why the heck did i choose to be a designer in the first place?
Yes, this can often be the situation.
this totally made my LOL
….yup!! gotta love those!
now that’s what i called a pixel pusher LOL
haha nice one.
Yup. We’ve all been there.
It’s sad all right…
But at the end of the day it’s what puts the food on the table and the kids at school, right?
Just be sure never to say “Open Source” or “Freeware” in front of the client.
Yeah, lol never metion “Gimp” or “Inkscape” in front of a client, not that they could figure out how to use them… lol great comic.
Haha, classic. It’s either that or “I’d do it myself, but I just don’t have time.”
I like these jobs, it helps keeps my insanity and lets me focus on stuff that I actually enjoy
That was fantastic…
People really are cunning…. !!!!!
what? Design software is free! on the interwebs, p2p wont let me lie :p
That sums up my current job. I am a photoshop puppet, and I create what is dictated to me by a person that has no knowledge of design. Sometimes it is funny, but usually I want to jam my Wacom pen in my eye.
This definitely hits it right on the head. People point to a design and say “I want that!”
Why not hire the designer/ web company that actually did it?
I have never had this happen to me
I really had a nice laugh at a long time, this one is really so practical.
yes, i’m in both the positions. as marketing man i often give many ideas to the graphics… in my second job, as graphic, i often receive a lot of infos by the customer… LOL!
Mike you must be pretty green in the design arena to have never experienced this. It will happen some day. When you least expect it. After you have your presentation put together, and you have a reason for all your choices you will come in, sit down and throw it all away when some kid hands you a sketch. Sometimes these are little blessings.
Well… fun & sad at the same time -.-
Saddening but so true. Thought, hasn’t happened to me yet.
That is very ARROGANT if this happen to me.. this type of client is BULLSHIT!
will slap his face!
Real Genius!
LOL… Nicely done, Winters! Loved it.
Well done!
ha! that’s somewhat demeaning, and yet.. easy money so who cares?
OHhh yes this has happened to me!
I feel so used!
;(
LOL
Most all of the Freelance Freedom’s are awesome, but this one is by far my favorite.
QFT.
