I’m starting to rethink my major because GD is really demanding.
LOOOOOOOVELY!!!
LOOOOOOOVELY!!!
He probably didn’t …
He probably didn’t even bill him for the meeting.
Haha, hilarious! …
Haha, hilarious! Cute kid.
This is so true! …
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. …
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 …
What a sweet kid you have. He’s going to be somebody one day! Great video.
Well so many ” …
Well so many “graphic designers” actually bend over backwards for clients, And undercharge so it is hard to change clients sometimes because of this.
I agree, train for …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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!
hahahaha, that kid …
hahahaha, that kid is too cute man.
I’m going to become a graphic designer in a few years, I hope things aren’t as difficult like this haha!
Great video
Great video
Yes clients have …
Yes clients have opinions but any designer worth his salt has a responsibility to raise the bar and use his talents, experience and expertise to deliver something better than what a layman thinks is the best way to communicate. Just being completely reactive means that somewhere along the way you’ve either lost all confidence in your ability or you’re a complete cynic. Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon is an example of a ’service provider’ who just carried out a clients ‘orders’ without caveats.
I think poopedin …
I think poopedin yourmouth is ironically, talking poop. Everyone is a service provider but designers have an area of expertise that a lot of clients choose to ignore for a variety of reasons. They have their own opinion, they rarely get the chance to be involved in something creative and want to input (at the possible detriment of theproject) etc.
Excellent video sir …
Excellent video sir! I found it very enjoyable!
this nice video …
this nice video sums up my 15 years in the industry
Awesome! It’s so …
Awesome! It’s so nice to find out your not the only one ripping your hair out over frustrating clients. Thank you!
This made my day! …
This made my day! It wasn’t even a bad day. That was just awesome. Thanks!
First off, I know …
First off, I know the feeling that this video conveys. Second, the idea that slapping together any random crap is art is quite frankly, stupid. Actually, that whole idea came from artists who couldn’t get work because they sucked. So, crappy “artists” got together and basically told people that their garbage was good. It was basically a great PR campaign. Fact is, art has specfic vision, content and meaning. If ever someone tells you that it’s open to interpretation, they are full of crap
Thanks everyone for …
Thanks everyone for your comments… I was just thinking I should have done a dream sequence where the “designer” got to speak his mind…. that would have been fun to film… Poop, don’t read too much into it, I wasn’t painting the client as a child, I merely used my son because he was free and available. Furthermore, he barely speaks a sentence, so writing this script, filming and editing would kind of deem this whole project creative and artistic.
wow…I’m not the …
wow…I’m not the only one! Thanks! This was great! More!!!
poop – ANYTHING …
poop – ANYTHING creative is art. Design doesn’t just appear. U have to visualise it, create every element & harmonise them. Thats art. I agree that clients will have opinions, but clients insist on abusing of their position. Imagine saying to a chef – oh, I don’t know – just make me something I’ll like. But I’m not going to tell u what food I actually like. And keep going until I like it BUT, I’m only paying the cost of 1 meal. Do u think theyd accept that? Design should be no different.
