By Tara: Freelance Designer | Published: April 29, 2007

I found this video on YouTube. It represents the worst in clients. Corny but it rings true.

    Hi Santosh and Brett,

    Thanks for your comments.

    Brett, I always want to say to them “Go on then” but bite my tongue.

    hehe, not that uncommon. The best advise I can give is to stand up for yourself, if he/she thinks comic sans works on anything you are fully in your right to ignore all he says about design.
    Honesty works a long way, explain why using comic sans and clip art is damaging their brand and costing them money in lost revenue and that will usually do the trick.

    Hi Mikael and Lyndon
    Thanks for you comments. It made me laugh when I saw it, I think a few clients should be made to watch it too ;)

    I’m glad you enjoyed my fun little video. It was presented at an AIGA event recently.

    Hi
    Looks like I’m a bit late to this party! Yes the video is very nice, however I can’t help but imagine some downtrodden actor out there thinking “have a little trust in a professional actor!” Sorry Graphic Avenger…please don’t hate me…
