Clients from Hell

A friend of mine recently tweeted a link to a blog over @ todslie.com enti­tled “Web Design Client Quotes”. I sub­se­quently spent many hours read­ing these and laugh­ing hys­ter­i­cally at times. Here are some of my favourites:

Client: “i checked with a friend and they said there def­i­nitely IS a rain­bow effect in pho­to­shop, why did you tell us there wasn’t one?”

Client: “more fonts. use more fonts!”
Designer: “ummm… how many do you want?”
Client: “how many do you have?”

Client: “can you guys make it more like a power-point pre­sen­ta­tion, you know, with the slid­ing text stuff and all?”

Client: “We want a web­site that can play DVD qual­ity video, but we don’t want to use stream­ing video and the load time must be zero.”

Designer: “That’s impos­si­ble. Every­thing has a load time. DVD qual­ity runs about 100 megs a minute.”

Client: “We’ll take our busi­ness elsewhere…”

Client: “i want it tues­day”
it was monday.

That last one is my favourite.
