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.

:winkwink:

I know exactly how you feel, i just think about the money and i don't care too much then

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.

yup been there

good point! :321GFY

Maybe you are the one with no taste?

this is why i took my design off the public market, i dont want to deal with a bunch of idiots with inheritance money getting into porn.

hm.. Send them over to us, we'll take care of them :)

I hear yah! hear you out loud

This is sooo true :1orglaugh

Yeah, it suck ! Fuckin' customer!

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

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.

:2 cents:

My only gripe is the client that doesn't know what he wants until you do something for him and then he realizes he wants it totally different.

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.

The client is always right . But it is something you have to deal with all the time. as long as they pay it's all good to me.

You must be kidding.

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.

lol, I know a few people you can work with who will surely change your mind.:winkwink:

you do designs for a client and after asks for a revision which u as the designer knows would make it look bad....

i just try to make the best out of the ugly.....

:glugglug

Definitly ... one guy from an advertising compagny here always come to us (3-4 times a week) for design ... and always ScREW them us badly ...

His business got really huge and now it's slowly dying

Mainstream clients use to do that sometimes but when you have a waterproof contract (with different milestones of the project)

the chanche is little it will happen again.

but i used to be pissed at those fuckers!

wow, nice portfolio dude.

you mean when you have this professionnal and clean design and your client wants outer glow everywhere ??! ...in that case...yes !!

as long as they are paying me then it doesnt matter sure i get upset but they still lign my pocket.

It used to, but now I just go with the flow :)

They're paying me to do what they want, and I'm happy to accomodate them.
