Meridith et al, this is for you

I know there are several graphic designers and graphic design students here, and if you do any commercial work, this sentence should be pretty familiar to you… |

| My husband is a graphic designer. I can't wait to play it for him. I have a feeling it will be song of the day at his office tomorrow! My favorite line is, "I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but could you make the logo bigger?" |

That sentence hits the chord with me, too. Sometimes you wonder why they bother hiring me at all, as they know better anyway. |

| I just read him the lyrics over the phone. When I got to that part he said, "Oh my gosh, I hear that line EVERY DAY!" |

I do a bit of freelancing to advertising agencies, and a client of a client wanted a new logo. Anything we suggested wasn't quite right, and they gave us their idea, so I did just that + a bit more. They liked the bit more -part. Now the logo is finally ok, and we're struggling with other materials (brochure, PowerPoint presentations (arrrrgggggghhhhhh) etc. That song is my anthem at the moment.
This is lovely, too

I like how they used 100 typefaces on the ad. A particular pet peeve of my husband.
Here's another with a nice Christmassy feel

| hahahahaha! This is sooooo true! If I had a dime for every time I heard that phrase...that plus I get asked to make everything else bigger, so all of the elements are competing with each other and there is no hierarchy. Then they can't understand why they don't like it. |

Hello GraphiKers,
Taking advantage of the thread -sorry- would any of you be interested in helping me designing our 'card' for baby Clyde? I've already got the 'script' or most of it, just need a bit of help either on how to do it myself using powerpoint or photoshop or more if poss. It's a 'fun' card, nothing formal at all and is music inspired.
Cheers |
