“We love it, but we don’t like it. So, please go against all standards and design conventions to make it pretty”.

“That is nice..” pause moment.. And i know they are gonna said the “BUT” the client continue… “BUT….” i knew it, they will said “we need to change some elements of the logo”, “please do another version with different fonts and make minimal 5 placement variation for each the mockup”…

I hate when that happens. I mean you don’t tell your doctor how to do his job why tell me. And then you just make those changes and they tell you that it was fine the first time and they’ll pay for the extra work.

Great Comic, and so true.
I propose to the team of Freelance Switch, that we can display this on our portfolios to start “educating” our clients.
Now I am dealing with one client that say to me “I can get better design at cheap price for India or Romania”, I say “Well, good luck my friend”.
The 90% of our client really don´t know nothing of this business.

Hahah, one of these days I’m going to be bold and tell a client, “No, it’s my way or the highway!”

“Yeah Bob, I think I love it… but let me take it home tonight and get my wife’s take on it. I’m gonna let the kids have a look too. I’ll get back to you in the morning and let you know for sure if I love it.”

I had a client who’s ex-mother-in-law actually emailed me wanting me to change the colors of the site. She also had a list of other changes that “had” to be made.

LOL @ ‘too fonty’. I actually had a client that requested ‘more images’ and ‘less imagery’ in the same email. Can anyone explain that one?
