8 ways to drive a designer crazy
Katie pointed this out to me and it’s a riot. Ghisroy “Posted “8 ways to drive a designer mad” and it’s pretty spot on. I would add one more killer over the top example to the list as #9.
For added effect in driving a designer mad, start every conversation with, “I love what you’ve done, It’s just want I was thinking with minor changes”. Then start in with some basic revisions such as; “The logo is too small, make the headline magenta and indigoish but not too indigo. Put everything you have on the right at the bottom, move what it is at the bottom to the middle. Change the overall size to be a bit larger but not too large, maybe just a bit smaller. Change the words you have in Greek (Lorem Ipsum) to English and add a picture of my grandma with a red filter or something filterish.” Then finish the conversation with “These concepts are great, I love it” while mumbling under your breadth, “Geez I could have done this in Power Point”.
If you are on the design end, you’ve probably heard something this nuts and wanted to shoot yourself. I know I have heard my fair share of crazy random input on the account side.
As everyone knows, graphic designers are the reason there are so many wars in this world. They get inside our heads with their subliminal advertising, force us against our will to spend money on the worst pieces of shit, and eventually, drive us to depression and random acts of violence. And of course, most of them are communists.
So to do my part to save the world from them, i made a list of things you can do when working with a graphic designer, to assure that they have a burn-out and leave this business FOREVER. Read the 8 ways to drive a designer mad.
