client: "I don't want to undermine your design, but..."
30 minutes later...
client: "hmm...sorry, I don't like any of these designs that I suggested, can you please undo all back to the original artwork and try to make the design looks better?"
me: "........No problem! :)"
"Graphic design is sometimes about polishing turds." This was the forum title that I saw on a graphic design forum recently and yes, I totally agree and have no doubt with this saying anymore.
I'm working on turd again!
Although I'm not reluctant to work on this "design", I will still use my exceptional skills to polish this turd. At least try to make a good looking and shinny turd to keep the client happy.
