There seems to be a rather large amount of “client from hell” emails doing the rounds at the moment. What gives? Have clients suddenly become worse? Or is this simply another example of how the anonymity of the web brings out everyone’s inner caustic complainer (more likely). The underlying theme behind most of the online moaning seems to stem not from dumb direction, but rather a lack of collaborative spirit. There have been plenty of parodies in the marketing press over the years of “designer speak”, which I have found quite instructive in that they highlight the pitfalls to avoid. In the same spirit, here are a few of the more entertaining moans from the other side of the fence – of course, it goes without saying that nobody reading this blog would ever behave so crassly!
