My last logo debacle is easy told -

I was asked to make a logo that states the guys name, his profession and looked professional. So I did.

Eventually, after a few tries, I got the message that he would not take any of my work. His girlfriend created something playfull and he went with that.

He must have forgotten that he canned my first tries for being too playfull and not serious enough..... Oh well. I billed him for my time and he payed.

So it ended well.


Yes . . . girlfriends being "playful", always a fun situation.

I had a client ask me to make the sky in his photo look more life like..."you know like it would look in real life".
"But"'I said "you took this photo at the lake near your home, the sky is real"
"Yeah I know but I want it to look like in a photo postcard, you know what I mean real like in the movies blue"

Here is the truth

I used the magic wand just to mask the sky did nothing else, removed the mask, no change to anything mind you.

"Thats it fuckin perfect, see I knew you would know what I mean" he walk away happy

I did not charge him but it made me wonder just how dumb some people can be...
