P.S. I have had 1 apple juice box, 2 cups of chocolate milk, 3 orange juice boxes, one cup of water, and a sip of Pepsi. All today. I think it's a record.

What record?
Most you drank in one day (volume)
Most you drank in one day (variety)
Most you drank in one day (including water)
Least you drank in one day?I’m confused.

hey hundo i like how your village sounds logo came along.

Thanks _salisae_. Let’s see. That’s a long story. In most situations, I would present them on a board with some “in situ” examples and have a nice rationale in place.
However, in my current place of employment, they simply get emailed to the client as PDFs with the instructions “Here they are, please pick one.” It’s depressing, and part of the motivation for “The Big Move™”.
Not sure if you are up to speed on that job, but all my concepts were roundly rejected and I was accused by the client of “purposely doing bad design work”. My boss and a co-worker developed and submitted 19 other concepts using the colours the client had alluded to in the brief. The client’s response was to get out their Pantone swatch book (yes, they do have one) and pick 7 colours and ask that each of the 19 logos be re-presented using each of the 7 colours, which makes, let’s see, 133 logos. Now since they couldn’t pick a logo when they were presented with 3 options, it seems unlikely they would be able to pick on from 133 options. We said “no” and we haven’t heard from them since.
Now I hear you saying “just bill them for the hours and move on”. That would be all well and good, but we gave them a quote for less than ten hours and we have spent about 40.
Sad, innit?
- it is. although i learned this week that i too am a shitty client and really need to see things in situ to believe it's right_salisae_
- You want i should rough 'em up for ya, Mr. Hundy, sir?locustsloth
- and when i say shitty client i mean bottom of the barrel, should be strung up, towed and trampled upon. :/_salisae_
- 30% design 70% presentation – that is the new model for me_salisae_
- Shari, I don’t think that’s bad. Designers would benefit from thinking this way more too.MrOneHundred
- Locust, that would be nice, thanks.MrOneHundred

- crazy. i wonder who would be so inclined?_salisae_

Morning all.
Don't worry Hundy, i was just cleaning up my facebook because the new TOS, yeah. I don't think it will make any difference since there was already nothing in there.
Thanks for the few comment on www.audiopolis.it (which, for the ones who care is a mobile recording studio - a startup of a friend)
It'a freelance project that kept me busy for too long and is good to have it out of the pipeline.
Feel free to insult me about the design and the aesthetic of the whole thing. I can bear cruel crits.
