The more friends and people I meet that are designers, web, print or otherwise, we all seem to have the same things in common. Clients. If we were left to our own devices, we would think we have bad luck, or attract the worst of the worst, but it is unfortunately commonplace. It isn't always just their ignorance, many times it is their audacity.

Most of us have heard their web address and been instructed by the all knowing client that it is all one word, or asked make the logo BIGGER, or can I just sit behind you as you design. The experiences go on and on.

In this site, you can see our translations of what clients are really saying with some things they say or ask. Our own personal dictionary of ignorance you could say. We also have the Quips section that shows bits and pieces of conversations with a client and the humor ensues. The most popular section is the quotes section. Real quotes from real clients. At the time they are so annoying, but now they are just funny.

Some of us are blessed with respectful clients and we hear that our knowledge is appreciated, or a "good job" now and again, but there are always clients that see us as an unfortunate necessity for their business. We are last on the team and we don't exactly have a PhD in design, so they treat us as such. Enjoy the entries in the site and as always, you can contribute some of your own experiences.
