"i messed around in photoshop with your designs, (don't hate me), to give you an idea of where I want this to go. Your ideas really got me psyched to get into the evolution!"
This coming from client who taught himself photoshop in 5 minutes then proceeded to take a jpeg sketch I sent him and re-arrange elements. It was amazing what he sent back. I was told that his previous job was a river rafting guide. And now he thinks he's a fucking designer!
This is just the tip of the iceberg, I've got a million of these stories. Sad thing is, most of the stories involve stupid quotes from my bosses and co-workers. No wonder dot.coms are failing all around. The internet has brought all sorts of people together, while also consolidated all the idiots.
cheers!
