I'm designing a letterhead for a non-profit agency. Someone kill me now.

1. I pity you....

It has t have this, this, that, this, that and that...

Oh and don't forget, this and that.......

And don;t make it look too busy.......

2. How many people on the approval committee

double that amount and you'll know how many re-do's you'll be asked for.

3. 12. 12 well meaning, completely insane, memo loving freaks.

They do not get it that I cannot fit 458 words into a 100-150 word text box.

This is week 3. Crazy motherfuckers. You should see the emails with attachments I have. Every single one of them sends me the same email. God help me.

4. I've worked with non profits for over 20 years

It's the reason that I'm stark raving mad. (But in a good way-of course)

Have they asked you yet why you can't fit the 458 words into the 100-150 word text box? Can't you make the box bigger? Can't you make the words smaller?

It's only been three weeks..... It should be over in a few months.

5. You're going about it all wrong

A designer's first and most important task is to terrify his or her clients. You must make them grateful for anything you give them, and also make it clear that you're temperamental enough to kill any of them who don't like it. Once you have them bent over backward to accommodate you, life is easy. It helps if you throw things at them. I keep a basket full of hard little paper wads, and I throw them liberally and with great force at anyone who crosses me at the office. Citrus fruit is an even better touch, as it leaves quite a bruise, and the scent is refreshing when it splits open on impact.

7. I like your style.

I'll try that at my next interview.

[radwriter0555]

11. I REALLY really like your style. It's far better to start off being an ass

hole, since then, people will not walk all over you.

The fruit hurling is an excellent touch.

6. Nominated.

Heh. :)

8. Well, at least you'll be well paid!

I'm sure they are generously compensating you for all your time, talent, and effort. Right?


Right? :shrug:





:rofl:

9. My "favorite" part of doing graphics work for nonprofits...

Is knowing that people who couldn't even begin to do the actual work will somehow be able to suggest zillions of changes after the work is done.

[WCGreen]

10. Then people off the board will hate it.....

I served on a couple of non profit boards....

Oye, never again......

12. Sounds like

a chamber of commerce I worked with, ended up with a complete abortion of a website. :puke:
