list your ideal client/company/brand to work with on various design jobs.
- honest0
A client with a lot of spare cash to get rid of who has an appreciation of design (wakes up and wipes away dribble).

Yep, honest hit it nail on the head.

I find it easier to believe in Santa.

someone dumb enough to believe the "WTF times infiniti" thread, hot enough to be in the "chicks who are hotter than..." thread and rich enough to be in one of Jox' "cars I'm honestly going to buy" threads.
yeah, that'd do me nicely.

One who doesn't want to set anything in comic sans, likes text that isn't centered or justified, has money and time to spend on getting things right and has budget for something other than stock photography.

"300million have worked for Land Sec for over two years and can confirm that they really are clients to be reckoned with: they champion great design, challenge us to push things further, are passionate about the value of creativity as an integral part of their business strategy and always have nice biscuits."

Yeah Kelpie, I had thought that. But I like the idea of doing good posters on a tight deadline and seeing them around the city. Did posters for a festival before and although I got fucked in the ass on the money, the amount of time I put in and he general fuckology of the clients I still got a huge buzz actually seeing my posters up.
Kinda made it all worthwhile, which I don't normally get when doing a project which disappears from view when it comes back from the printers.
- yeah, I know what you mean, I still think all the stuff I did for clubs for fuck all was the most satisfying work I've done...kelpie
- ...certainly ego wise, seeing them all over the place then finding them in mates houses years later :Dkelpie
- Yeah! A mate saw one of my posters up and rang me to tell me about it cos he thought I'd like its style, which was nice.ian
- haha, I remember being inspired into graphics by a series of posters for a now defunkt club in glasgow...kelpie
- ...3 years later I was sitting across the table from the girl who made them! funny how life works out...kelpie
- (IN WORK, just to clarify)kelpie
- 'sitting across the table'? you get more perverse every day.paraselene

The best client i ever worked with/for was Lambie-Nairn (almost 10 years ago). We got several bottles of champagne from them when the project was finished.
