Of course, in satire there is truth. And the sad thing is, having been in this business for over 30 years, the lowest paid person in this is the designer.

Hilarious!! :D

This is great! I hadn't considered the client/designer relationship like this before. I'm not a designer or client, but I am picky! On that note, please pick my sign and vote: www.signazon.com/?c=PZ5LL2EF

haha, i've been there at least once and it was so frustrating. but now, seeing this video :-)

ahora 4 años

Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick any two.

Hard truth, this is just my life...

"I showed it to my daughter and she didn't really get it"

que hermoso esta el perrito ♥

that's not parody...that's by every day sad being! :'(( :)))

And 21 people disliked? They might be from the changes committee

"For internal use only. Please do not duplicate." Ha.

@theeponym This is a counterintuitive element of business that a lot of people don't get. I like to say that the squeaky wheel gets replaced.

Client: "I think..." Designer: "Don't."

I'd stop....to punch the sign.

It's a designer's truth. 80% of time, the customers don't know what they want.

An example of designing in the wrong direction. Roundabouts & traffic circles are better.

@theeponym On the contrary. I've seen clients spend HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS extra on a series of irrational whims.

This is soo what I'm feeling now ._.

Es hermoso!!! debe de estar muy grandote!!

@quinnmcguee At least there's a specific direction one could go to, as opposed to the vague "I dunno, make it pop!" where you're just firing wildly

que edad tiene que bonito bulldog :)

wow

This is why I quit the industry.

@norkhairi The briefing used for the Pepsi logo redesign is actually out there, somewhere on the internet. You have no idea of all the creepy delusional stuff you'll find there.

You can tell that it's a government contract... same applies for web sites...

@goatchowder and most of the time the third option was probably as bad as the first one.

@theeponym you'll have to define big bucks then.

@LanethShadowWalker Ha! Story of my life! "Lets pass this around the office and send him a jumbled email with everybody's suggestions" Then you have no idea which one to actually carry through with. FML.

@theeponym You must have worked for wildly different big companies than I have...

Ah Toronto ;D

KD Lang was great in this...

this video is ridiculous and not based on reality at all! you're completely forgetting the clients making last second changes to the final product 5 minutes before the deadline! the designer should be frantically running back and forth at the end of the video with THE LOOK in his eyes!

real!

Es atigrado, voy a subir un video nuevo dentro de poco para que vean como esta, muy grade y simpatico!

This is why i charge by the hour

Wahh we all know this customer comments :-)

In my experience, this type of scenario is more common with cheaper clients and smaller budgets. Oddly enough, the ones spending the big bucks are also usually the most willing to trust your judgment and make good use of the money. Cheap clients are fickle and meddling.

Supportive. This what you call it, is that Dixieland? I guess this might make some people offended. We should not suggest that Dixieland fans are bad drivers, should we now?

Man this video is as old as the internets. I think the last time I've seen it, I didn't even have pubes yet.

This video has been selected by the channel as one of the best Comedy videos on KZbin and was added to the channel's playlist accordingly. Thanks for sharing. Regards, bestofYTchannel

This is true with every big company. They have about 20 people providing their "input" and ends up making something very EZ into a pile of crap. Just because no one person wants to make a call on the project.

On behalf of all designers everywhere I would just like to say AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHH!!!! I think I built a website for these people...

Brand people - they live on.

SAD BUT TURE

he got fired for not being a team player

WOW! This is great! its right on target with the way that people with no training, experience, or skill in design or productions of any kind like to over produce a piece when given the power they shouldnt have you hit the nail on the head folks, it really explains why there is so much crap! getting cranked out right and left these days - NICE JOB. THANKS! I hope it sinks in to those who are guilty I doubt it though :)

Micro managing talentless hacks can put you through such hell. A hell worse than climbing stairs in ten inch heels, or juggling puppies and chainsaws. Or both! Good video.

this is actually true in so many different aspects of product development. Its the interaction between the client and the developer

This is like all the other comments, funny (in a depressing way) because it's so true. Amazing that more of us designers aren't also alcoholics, and why I pine for a job like other occupations where people don't tell me how to do mine, the one they're paying me for doing. When clients get like the ones in the video, we designers should start telling the clients how to do THEIR jobs, to give them the hint. We don't tell them how to do their jobs, why do they insist on telling us how to do ours?
