@parappabug, dude you have no idea. It works like this, client comes with no clue or brief whatsoever, usually no budget, and an impossible time scale. You do your best and probably produce something your proud of. They look at it give you some “pointers” and amends that probably commit a number of design no nos and ruin your idea i.e 7 logo colours and comic fucking sans. You’ll do the amends a number of times until they are happy, they pass it onto their boss. Rinse repeat until you wanttodie

the concept makes me smile…it’s like uplifting because graphic artists can relate. i appreciate more the father and son relationship-effort in making the vid.

…and this is exactly why when i lost my gd job i changed career paths and entered nursing. anyone who can stay in the gd field without going insane, you are fortunate.

OMG, i thought i was the only one who went through this with clients! Outstanding.

I’m a web designer and 90% of the idiots I deal with are like this. I have been in business for just under a year and find myself wanting to shut the thing down. Daily.

that was cool…and yes, sums it all up

could always be a GD teacher.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:30 am
I’m starting to rethink my major because GD is really demanding.

He probably didn’t even bill him for the meeting.
February 6th, 2010 at 7:53 am
Haha, hilarious! Cute kid.

This is so true! Working with non-creatives is generally like trying to please a 5 year old child. Thanks for your sweet video. Looking forward to seeing your son at the oscars in 20 years time.

I needed that! lol. 7 year senior graphic designer. too cute ans so true! I am needing a video to show 200 new graphic design students to mentor them into getting a graphic design degree. I think I am going to make your son’s video the center of all talking points of my speech. thanks! Donna

What a sweet kid you have. He’s going to be somebody one day! Great video.

Well so many “graphic designers” actually bend over backwards for clients, And undercharge so it is hard to change clients sometimes because of this.
February 6th, 2010 at 10:38 am
I agree, train for something else, clients have little to no respect or understanding of our industry, just because they think its fun to play with colour and type, its gotta be cheap eh.. “cos its a bit like what i did at primary school.. and you guys get paid for it .. right..??”
assholes some of them.. become a photographer.. its easier, no amends or changes. Photography is a black art as far as some clients think, so they don’t seem confident enough to comment as much…

Do yourself a favour and train for something else. The clients that the industry attracts these days are disrespectful arseholes who don’t want to pay. Web designers are doing better. Good luck x

I’m wondering why clients think that every graphic designer is there for their playtime and for free! Lets see them mess other industries around and see where it gets them. Everyone is a ‘designer’ these days. The industry has never been so dissed and disrespected in all of its life. Clients need to wake up or ship out.

Sorry, I’m afraid so! I’m from the UK and it’s the same here. I think it’s part and parcel of the job!
