+ clients who send you logo's for print as low-res jpegs and then when you ask for a vector version as an .eps they have someone drop the jpeg into an Illustrator file and save it out as an .eps..

- ...Clients who also complain their logo is not quite as sharp as it should be. (!)papasmurf82

Clients who think a png logo from google will work for their 9x12 brochure.
AEs and Project managers who have no freakin idea of what they are doing
AEs who tell the client, well, as long as we have the site ready we're good, the brochure and business cards we can print them here at the office, they are not big deal

+ this needs to be amazing, needs a wow factor.
Ah yes, 'wow' factor. Apple + W isn't it?
- SigDesign0
this is fun...
+ designers who create a PSD for a website, and have 1 million layers, and only 9 of them are relevant and I can't open the file.
+ being asked to create a website, but they don't have any content.......
+ people who constantly complain about their job, surrounded by other people constantly complaining and griping... I mean everyone complains a bit...this is complaining, but not every single day.
+ helping other designers search for stock photos for their boring advertisement

Flash Plug-in and the way it slow down my fucking computer for no apparent reason. 100% CPU usage, Fuck you Macromedia.

Clients that know enough about design to tell you what a vector file is and think that means they know enough to tell you how to do your job.

The alternate for me: when people who want/need you to do something and REQUIRE/DEMAND that you come to their desk like some kind of new fucking hire so they can sit behind their big useless desks and look at you sideways like a dog does a doorknob while you tell them they are stupid. A waste of the 10 steps from my desk to theirs.

Project managers keeping a brief secret for a week, and then telling you at 4:45pm the day before it is due that it needs to be done ASAP and is due the next morning.

when someone doesn't brief you with any ideas, you go and do something then they all of a sudden have loads of ideas to bring to the table.

Being told (just a moment ago) that:
'I don't care if work goes out to a low standard - its quantity not quality...'
Think I need to be looking for alternative employment.
