when you work on the exact concept that your client has instructed you to do-send them a comp of it and they say it's awesome and to proceed with what you're doing! then you finalize the concept & send it for review, they then say that it's not really what they wanted/want a new concept. FRUSTRATING

Client demanding I make revisions today, on Thanksgiving even though they said they won't be available until Monday because they are out of town for Thanksgiving. What?!

I FOR REAL JUST GOT THE "MAKE THE LOGO BIGGER" EMAIL! lol. ridiculous.

After signing a contract agreeing that all comps would have a watermark on them, only to be removed after final payment, my client just sent me a nasty email saying he would find another illustrator if I didn't take off the watermark on the first version I sent. So much for contracts?

I just hung up with a client who kept saying, "Just stretch it!" (in regards to text placement). And, I said, "You mean space it out?" He replied, "No! Streeetch it... like make the letters wider, but not taller!" He was so offended when I said, "Uh... no!" (YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO SAY!!!)

If you remove one page in a spread, replace that page with something new or remove the entire spread! What a mess!

I had a client ask me at one point if I was using the "latest version" of the internet.

200 page catalog with 4-6 products to a spread -- 3rd proof and they now want to take out a product at the beginning and reflow everything up accordingly. ugh.

i got a email today saying... we did not use the t-shirt designs you sent us so can you sell them to somebody else and do us some more art insted?

"...well, there are 10 images and they're 100kb each!! So I'll just have to overnight you a DVD."
