    I think this is exactly what happened when the Pepsi logo were being redesigned.

    This is more annoying than dealing with a real client

    In my experience, this type of scenario is more common with cheaper clients and smaller budgets.

    Oddly enough, the ones spending the big bucks are also usually the most willing to trust your judgment and make good use of the money. Cheap clients are fickle and meddling.

    Supportive. This what you call it, is that Dixieland? I guess this might make some people offended. We should not suggest that Dixieland fans are bad drivers, should we now?

    Man this video is as old as the internets. I think the last time I’ve seen it, I didn’t even have pubes yet.

    This is awesome… audio sucks, but great concept!

    yeah — this is why I include a “3 rounds of minor edits included, additional rounds priced according to changes required” — usually stops the process at 3 rounds max …

    This is true with every big company. They have about 20 people providing their “input” and ends up making something very EZ into a pile of crap. Just because no one person wants to make a call on the project.

    true but as a great designer you need to step up and suggest best practices or they will walk all over you.

    WOW! This is great! its right on target with the way that people with no training, experience, or skill in design or productions of any kind like to over produce a piece when given the power they shouldnt have you hit the nail on the head folks, it really explains why there is so much crap! getting cranked out right and left these days – NICE JOB. THANKS! I hope it sinks in to those who are guilty I doubt it though :)

    After years of working with the US Department of Transportation, this makes me laugh doubly hard!

    Put it in your contracts….after three revisions, please write me another cheque before we proceed any further.
    That will hasten the ‘stopping occasion.’

    Micro managing talentless hacks can put you through such hell. A hell worse than climbing stairs in ten inch heels, or juggling puppies and chainsaws. Or both! Good video.

    this is actually true in so many different aspects of product development. Its the interaction between the client and the developer

    This is like all the other comments, funny (in a depressing way) because it’s so true.

    Amazing that more of us designers aren’t also alcoholics, and why I pine for a job like other occupations where people don’t tell me how to do mine, the one they’re paying me for doing. When clients get like the ones in the video, we designers should start telling the clients how to do THEIR jobs, to give them the hint. We don’t tell them how to do their jobs, why do they insist on telling us how to do ours?
