Although graphic design is not my full-time job, I like to think that I have an appreciation for design and designers. Clients From Hell is a Tumbler site that promises “A collection of anonymously contributed client horror stories from designers.”

It made me laugh.

The quote I’m using as a headline was one. Sounded like Mr. Burns, to me. Another that I liked was:

Client: We love our new building and we thought it would be great to have pictures of it in all four seasons from the exact same angle.

Photographer: That sounds like a really cool project.

Client: Great! So what are the chances having those ready for our convention next month?

And this one:

We don’t like the font in the logo – could you use the one Microsoft use in their software…I think it’s called Arial. I think everyone likes that one – you see it everywhere.

But there’s tons.

  1. hahah yes!

    it reminds me of when I used to work at Leech Quik Print years ago, and everyone used to say “Can you make it look more Dynamic?”

    It was the word of the year, it was like the word was just invented I swear every second client said Dynamic in a sentence when they were explaining what they wanted in their design.
