    designers, don't you HATE it when...

    a client obviously has piss poor taste in design and wants you to change what you already did, into a steamy pile of typical bullshit????!

    i'm not referring to any specific experience, but it has happened to me several times before n' it sucks.

          Things like this happen wether you are doing design work or development, nothing you can do about but show the client drafts of the work before it's finished this way he can agree on the design and proceed forward.

                      Maybe you are the one with no taste?

                                              I like clients who prepay and don't require any changes to their work after completion. I had one today.
                                              Thanks.
                                              ..and I'm off.

                                                  Been through it many times already.

                                                  I've even had clients show me Geocities sites that they thought were "superb".

                                                          Unless the buyer is a 1st timer, most people should find the right designer and stick with them. I tell my guy what I want, and it always comes out 100% better than I ever imagined. Never realy made him make any serious changes other than color or something.

                                                          It's part of the job tho, any designer should expect change requests, especially from new commers.

                                                          The only thing I can see a designer being upset about is, not wanting to be known as the one who made that one ugly design.

                                                              I've had that happen many times.

                                                              I really don't care either, it's what they want.

                                                              The only thing that suffers is your portfolio which is vital a designer.

                                                                  It just comes with the territory.

                                                                  The other side of the coin is the guy that has everything figured out in his head. Provides you with a detailed layout sketch, re touched content, sales text, etc. That leaves nothing left but to design it.

                                                                  I am working with a guy like this now and it's a pleasure.

                                                                              It just comes with the territory.

                                                                              The other side of the coin is the guy that has everything figured out in his head. Provides you with a detailed layout sketch, re touched content, sales text, etc. That leaves nothing left but to design it.

                                                                              I am working with a guy like this now and it's a pleasure.
                                                                              Thats exactly what I do. Im horrible at design, but I draw it out as best I can, i tell him what fonts I like most, sizes, placement, and baam, he makes it.

                                                                              Takes me 10 minutes to make a quick sketch and its usually good enough.
