I hear you on this. Accountants giving me design advice. Classic.

Sad but true

So true

Haa sucks when that happens.

Some employers do think their opinion is the only that matters, most time at their own expense.
As a freelancer, most clients have the same attitude to.

Haha, that’s why I started Freelancing

Jajajajajajajajajajaja, wake up!!!. Love it!

haha, ok this one is my fave so far!

Yes, the same shit everywhere.
I remember when I was a young freelance full of bright ideas and hope and a marketing director, after I presented her my drafts for a poster, told me “Very nice, but I want it pink. The reason? No one does pink posters, so our will be much more notable!”
I remember this fact as it happened yesterday, it’s been like loosing virginity…

Soooo true. Ie. A client right now that I’m doing a ground up build for his new business…the logo he wanted to use looked like it was from 1980, and not in that good, retro kind of way lol.

Good thing his wife knew what I was talking about and put her foot down

LOL very funny!

LOL! Love it, very scary… put me in the mood for Halloween.

LOLOL These past two weeks of freelancing full time have been awesome. My BF got into a 3 car pileup and I was able to leave and come get and drive him around town all day to all his business meetings (don’t worry…he’s making up for it by doing the dishes and bringing me cheesecake ) I love being able to work whenever, whereever I want. Was stressful until I got my first check, now I can see this is actually going to work for me

Well, pure reality, just with a twist

Yep, this is why I went to freelance. Oh boy, I couldn’t live with the advice from those who thought they knew what they were talking about.

I still do get it from some clients now, who sometimes even critique work I have done for other clients.

I had a boss who wanted to put a bevel and a drop shadow on EVERYTHING. Our exchanges in the last year of my employment with this company all went like this:
Him: “This is a killer interface design… buuuuuut how hard would it be to add some dimensionality to it?”
Me: Gnashing my teeth and hitting the “bevel” and “dropshadow” effects in Photoshop.

Every. Single. Time.

You don’t even need to be a freelancer nor an office worker to experience this! I know, ’cause I’m one of them!

perfect!!

“even though i have no creative skills” exact… lolz…

Freelancing aside, this happens to creative people way too often. It seems the larger the company, the more “executive” designs surpass the creative designs crafted by real creatives..

haha, lol thats what you get if you worked under ‘smartass’ manager
