alligators and hedgehogs
i stumbled across this website recently and thought it was funny. it's called clients from hell. it is a collection of anonymously contributed horror stories from designers. some of the requests kill me!
here are a few of my favorite:
Client: “I need you to illustrate 360 jokes for my book.”
Me: “Ok, what’s your budget?”
Client: “I don’t have much, I can pay X”
Me: “That works out to be less then minimum wage for me per illustration.”
Client:” But thats ok, you probably do this stuff for fun anyway right? Artists just sit around drawing for hours working this stuff out for kicks, I know.”
Me: “Sir, I do this for a living [click]”
***
In deciding on what characters to use to represent a large insurance firm in a series of interactive training materials.
Client: “I know what people like. I’m around people all day and I watch people - like a student of human behavior - so I know what people like.”
Me: “Ok. What do you have in mind?”
Client: “What people like… Alligators and Hedgehogs.”
***
Client: “I googled my name and there is some nasty stuff about me on the Internet. There is this guy saying in his blog that I am an idiot. I want you to remove that blog and block the Internet if they write shit about me.”
Us: “We cannot do that.”
Client: “Well, get someone else to do it then. I want every nasty stuff about me removed from the Internet today, and make sure nobody can write bad things about me. I want you to control the Internet.”
Us: “We can’t control it and neither can you.”
Client: “Right, if you won’t do it I’ll find someone who will.”
Us: “Good luck, let us know if you succeed.”
***
Client [A California law firm]: “For the home page we’d like a photo of San Francisco. Lots of tall buildings, and it has to include the Golden Gate bridge.”
Me: “Sure, I can do that … but your offices aren’t in San Francisco.”
Client: “No, but we want people to think we are. It creates trust.”

neon nuptials
for those of you planning on getting married in vegas, this is a good book to check out. it gives a thorough analysis of venues (mainly wedding chapels) and other tips to know when visiting "sin city." the author keeps it interesting by adding a healthy dose of humor.
