1. What’s having a bad client like?
    For bad clients, the means is more important than the end. They live to control and micromanage the process. They delay approvals and won’t commit. They believe that their high-touch involvement is helping things, when it is actually derailing the process, de-motivating teams and leading to uninspired work. Interestingly, bad clients aren’t necessarily afraid of delivering uninspired work. They would rather produce a shitty campaign and blame the agency for it, than produce a stellar campaign and not get credit for it. Great clients are fearless and increasingly hard to find.

  2. Some people really hate Facebook’s new timeline

    clientsfromhell:

    An old client recently changed his Facebook to timeline. After, this happened:

    Client: Help! My Facebook has gone all funny! Can you fix it? 

    Me: No, I can’t.

    Client: Well what kind of designer are you?

    Me: One that makes a lot less then the ones who work for Facebook.

    Client: So you are saying you won’t fix Facebook for me.

    Me: Sorry, no. 

    Client: How much to design a new one?

    Me: A new page?

    Client: A new Facebook.

    “I MUSTACHE You A Question” by Pam Peacock, February 2012

    11” x 8.5”  Cut paper, acrylic on bristol, layered with foamcore and assembled in a photo frame.

    A commission I both started and finished yesterday.  I can’t take credit for the phrase/idea, but it was definitely a fun little project.

    I’m always taking commissions!…I don’t have my shop open just yet, so feel free to contact me directly at pam.peacock@gmail.com with any project ideas you might want me to work on for you : )

  8. There are many who will give an arm and a leg to be in your position. Do not take lightly what you do. Many do not get a chance to do what they love and are good at it. You have that. Make it worthwhile.
