    I’m starting to rethink my major because GD is really demanding.

    This is so true! Working with non-creatives is generally like trying to please a 5 year old child. Thanks for your sweet video. Looking forward to seeing your son at the oscars in 20 years time.

    Well so many “graphic designers” actually bend over backwards for clients, And undercharge so it is hard to change clients sometimes because of this.

    I agree, train for something else, clients have little to no respect or understanding of our industry, just because they think its fun to play with colour and type, its gotta be cheap eh.. “cos its a bit like what i did at primary school.. and you guys get paid for it .. right..??”

    assholes some of them.. become a photographer.. its easier, no amends or changes. Photography is a black art as far as some clients think, so they don’t seem confident enough to comment as much…

    Do yourself a favour and train for something else. The clients that the industry attracts these days are disrespectful arseholes who don’t want to pay. Web designers are doing better. Good luck x

    I’m wondering why clients think that every graphic designer is there for their playtime and for free! Lets see them mess other industries around and see where it gets them. Everyone is a ‘designer’ these days. The industry has never been so dissed and disrespected in all of its life. Clients need to wake up or ship out.

    Sorry, I’m afraid so! I’m from the UK and it’s the same here. I think it’s part and parcel of the job!

    I’m going to become a graphic designer in a few years, I hope things aren’t as difficult like this haha!

    Yes clients have opinions but any designer worth his salt has a responsibility to raise the bar and use his talents, experience and expertise to deliver something better than what a layman thinks is the best way to communicate. Just being completely reactive means that somewhere along the way you’ve either lost all confidence in your ability or you’re a complete cynic. Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon is an example of a ’service provider’ who just carried out a clients ‘orders’ without caveats.

    I think poopedin yourmouth is ironically, talking poop. Everyone is a service provider but designers have an area of expertise that a lot of clients choose to ignore for a variety of reasons. They have their own opinion, they rarely get the chance to be involved in something creative and want to input (at the possible detriment of theproject) etc.
