Aaaaand, we're back, due to a horrific past few months in which I landed the fulltime job of my dreams, realized quickly it was a nightmare, and then slogged through frantically trying to get enough money to flipping survive.
Boy, and it's been a FUN filled few months. /s
That's Not Good Enough!
SC: Hi, I saw your banner sale promotion, 20% off all of those?
Seraph: Yep, any custom banners!
SC: Ok, well, I think you should give me an 80% discount instead
Seraph: ...I'm sorry?
SC: Yeah, 20% isn't good enough, I'd prefer 80%, just kind of flip the sale?
....Well, after that, I think you're going to get a different kind of flip, if you know what I mean.
I Mean What I Say, But Not Really
SC: So, I'd like you to design me a new icon for our business app. Just make sure you don't put our company's initials in it. We want something graphical, really something nice.
/insert graphical awesomeness and mocking up/
Seraph: Ok, so how about this? I did a really neat frying pan silhouette, something memorable and stylistic, so that people instantly recognize it.
SC: Mmmmm, no this isn't what we wanted at all.
Seraph: Ok, can you clarify a bit?
SC: Well, we kind of had someone else also mock up an icon, and theirs is really gorgeous, so we're going to go with it. Here, see, this is what you should've done.
Seraph: This is just your company's initials....
SC: Yeah, isn't it a great idea?
You Suck For Not Letting Me Steal This
SC: Hey, so why does this mockup have your name on it?
Seraph: Well, since you haven't paid in full yet, I'm just watermarking my work out of policy. Its not that I believe you will do it, but some clients in the past have taken my unwatermarked work and used it before they paid...so this is a policy I have had since.
SC: Well....I was kind of wanting you to remove that.
Seraph: Sure thing, do you want to just pay off the balance now?
SC: ...No, I want you to remove that before I do. I wanted to put it up on my website....
Seraph: .....
Sooooo Unprofessional
SC: Hey, I saw the mockup you sent in. What in the world do you think you're trying to pull on me?
Seraph: I'm sorry, I don't quite understand?
SC: This mockup is soooo unprofessional. Your font looks like something a kid would do. Seriously, I'm a business, I want to be taken seriously. Get your stuff straight, and send me something that looks PROFESSIONAL.
Seraph: ...Ok, here's an update then...
SC: THIS LOOKS EVEN WORSE. Forget it, I'm just going to go with a different guy who sent me an idea. His actually looks nice!
...The font he claimed looked like a kid's? Trajan Pro. I saw the logo afterwards, he went with Comic Sans. I wish I was kidding.
