OH HOLY HELL THAT'S SO TRUE *slits wrists with Adobe CD's*

As a graphic designer myself, I can say I deal with this on a daily basis.
Obviously created by designers, I think every office manager that puts a concept together should be made to watch this.

We just keep saying..."sure, I can do that!"
My favorite comeback was always, "Sure, I can, I can do anything you want, It's a computer..., but ah, what is your budget because the more we do, the more money we spend".

TRUE.

The problem is that clients (for some reason) think they are designers, and they are hiring a photoshop operator.

In millions of other services, they just trust the provider and pay the price.

But designers, (for some reason) can't get any sleep.

I restrict myself to working for other creative people because they understand at least 10% of what I am trying to do.

^ It's also true in the programming industry. Rather than just giving the requirements, lots of business groups want to control the design as well, though usually they wait until after testing is complete to make their "suggestions".

I'm gonna say *politics on this too, since I think this makes a nice parable about the dangers of privatization.

Adding video to channels (Politics) - requested by NetRunner.

*Dead

Invocations (dead) cannot be called by Sagemind because Sagemind is not privileged - sorry.

*dead, but http://www.videosift.com/video/Redesigning-the-Stop-Sign-How-a-Corporate-Project-Works have a working embed, I think that embed should come over here.

And yes... this is exactly how marketing departments work in large companies.

Also... why the hell would ant downvote this?

This published video has been declared non-functional; embed code must be fixed within 2 days or it will be sent to the dead pool - declared dead by spoco2.

Also... why the hell would ant downvote this?


It's the question that drives us.

Awarding Aemaeth with one star point for fixing this video's dead embed code.
