It’s actually number 18 now.
Ha ha… LOL
Wow, this sounds quite like a true story that broke a few weeks ago. I blogged about it — http://www.perezfox.com/2007/08/16/logo-created-by-a-6-year-old/
I’ve been there, and it really sux. But it’s easyer to manipulate some old guy who trust his daughter design than some old guy that is making his own sketchs.
That #17 confused me. I didn’t click it in the RSS reader. It wasn’t until I went to the front page when I noted it’s a different strip.
This story reminds me of the simpsons’ chapter about the talented convict and skinner’s napkin sketch.
I have had countless situations like these, you dont know how to express your feelings to the client at this point – what an insult.
been there
LOL oh my goodness even though i am a stager, not a graphic design professional, it’s so often that i hear the same exact thing or show up at the home and things have been re-arranged.. oh the best is people add more things so the home can look cluttered… oy!
Hey! Wait guys! Kids’ works are just as precious as ours! They can be a gold mine for inspiration and creativity. Come on, even scribbles, doodles, spatters, they’re not actually ridiculous. I mean, where did grunge start? Yes, I would rather have my baby sister sketch a header for my site because it was from her creativity, it’s how she sees design in her age. But still N.C., you get some kudos. And I close this comment with no LOLs.
Laughing my head off here
u know its not just the case of an 8 years old, i just hate the idea of a client calling me to tell me that someone at his family or company or what ever has some gr8 ideas that i should work on.
Great, I love it. I think everybody was ever in that situation.
I haven’t been there yet… and I hope I never will be. However, it might be a blessing in disguise if it does!
translators hear something similar i.e. “my daughter/wife/friend spent 6 months in Spain/Germany/France and they translated it for me” – only we usually hear it when there’s been a massive mess-up and the client want us to fix it super-fast! Funny.
My worst fear is: “My son/daughter is taking a website class and maybe they can take care of some of the maintenance…”
Or even: “…they are good with computers…”
yup, this happened last week. =)
Hehe, once again pretty much reflects the truth! Love these cartoons! Who of us hadn’t a client who thinks that the design/idea that their child/children/brother/sister/whatnot had is great but in the eye of a professional it’s utter crap?!
