I HATE it when I spend hours creating an ad... and the client comes back with all sorts of changes and revisions for how they think the ad should look (which should have been made known to me before I did the first proof)... and I write a long, thoughtful and helpful email explaining why their ideas (are terrible) won't work so well for their particular placement, and I offer some solutions... and the client replies, essentially, "just do it our way already, you silly girl."
OH, I'M SORRY. I OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO DESIGN A SUCCESSFUL AD. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR WANTING TO MAKE THE AD WORTH YOUR INVESTMENT.
I just fuckin' wish people would let me do my job correctly. I don't presume to know how to manufacture playsets or paint the outside of a house, but I've been doing graphic design for 7+ years. Yet these people who have been in their industries for years and years, and that means they know how to design a good ad....
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh....
