  1. How about this one?

    1:00 PM: I need you to drop everything to get this done by end of day tomorrow. We don’t have the final copy yet, and no photos (can you get these off the internet? Pick something that says Europe) and we’re not sure if we want a flyer or trifold. Can you lay something out and we will let you know if that’s the direction we want? Did we mention, you need to drop everything and get this done?

    4:00 PM: Are you going to get something to us today to review ahead of time? We need it by 5:00

    6:00PM: It’s not what we were looking for- need to redesign tomorrow. We will write new copy and send you the photos in the morning. This is important so we’ll need you to put everything else on hold and get this done by end of the day.

    The next day was very similar. 🙂 You just have to laugh.

  2. My best client feedback was…..
    ” can you just jazz it up?”
    It’s sad to think that I have personally heard about half of these comments to my design presentations. But I like the one about charging more for the client to wrk with you! 🙂
