Got a poster design job. The client worked for someone who was converting their nightclub to a restaurant.
Client: We need a poster done, and a double-sided flyer so we can pass out, and we need it tomorrow. We want it to be fashionable and trendy.
It was 9pm when I got the message.
Me: It’s not possible. I need more time than that.
Client: Ok, the latest we can do is the day after tomorrow.
Me: I will try my best. Please give me the info you want on there along with examples of designs you want.
Client: Here’s our logo, and here’s some text we might change. Make it scream fashion!
Me: Have you not finalized that? We don’t have much time.
Client: We’ll finalize it tomorrow.
I made a design I really liked, sent it through the next day.
Client: This is not fashionable.
Makes another one, sent that night.
Client: Still not fashionable!
Me: Okay, can you give me an example of what’s “fashionable” so I have a better idea of what you mean?
The client sends me this tacky poster, I hated it, but I made something like that.
Client: My boss said no to this one. Here are the images he sent.
The Images that were sent were old posters when it was a club: lens flare, dancing girls, table service…
Client: Ok, boss approved. Good job!
I got paid, but I died a little.
