For any clients reading this, if anyone wants me to do this, I totally will! This is the most awesome proposal ever! I want clients like this:

All over the screen

I was contacted to do a branding project for a client who sold fruit juice locally. He came to my office and presented me with a storyboard of how the introduction animation for his website should run: The first few slides show a banana, pineapple, peach and strawberry happily dancing and cheering as they walk around in circles. About three or four slides in, they all jump into a working blender and their juices splatter all over the screen. The last slide is just their logo slowly fading in. He was dead serious.

Agreed, that brief sounds like Clients from Awesome.

LOL

Unfortunately we do not like any of your logos so we will stop working with. That also means we cannot pay you. We posted the job on designcrowd.com now and are sending you the link in case you want to participate in the contest.

Nice :

No questions asked

I can’t pay for this right now, but I have about a dozen old computers in my garage. I’ll tell you what: If you design this for me, I’ll give you an hour alone in there with no questions asked.

Great site, I just spent ages reading through heaps of these.

Me: “Well sir, the total for your new logo, business cards and menu designs is $350.”

Client: “Are you kidding me? The reason I chose a student designer was to get something cheap, plus help you out for your portfolio. I could have went to a professional and paid much less.”

Me: “Um, that’s not true. I spent a lot of time dealing with your daughter who insisted on multiple revisions to the logo, and you ended up with a look that everyone is pleased with. This same project might have cost you 10 times the amount I’m charging you. I think it’s a great deal.”

Client: “I highly doubt that. It’s just words and colors. Plus, our satisfaction has nothing to do with the amount we pay you. I’ll send you a check for what I think is fair.”
I got a check for 100 bucks. With “here you go asshole” written in the memo.
