Overheard - The Nightmare Client
January 18, 2006
Today at work, The Varmint and I have been negotiating the trickiest of all clients: The Frustrated Graphic Designer.
He wears the dark-rimmed glasses. He waxes on using words like "minimalist" and "organic" and "Warholian" in the same sentence. He says things like "Far be it from me to tell a designer how to do their job, but..."
This sentence, however, might just take the cake...
Client: "My ex-girlfriend was into graphics and I know a lot of artists, so I think I know a little something about design."
[Five minutes later, in the privacy of our car...]
Tam: Shoot me now.
The Varmint: Murder-suicide?
Tam: Deal.
