So... the boss sent copy and asked for a promo slide. This design today reminded me of doing design for my Dad - he only knows what he doesn't want when he sees what I've done and I just have to laugh, make the changes and go on. So glad my Dad is like that - it's made me take change requests in stride - not take the comments as personal attacks but as statements of preference and the back and forth nearly always results in a better overall design. This is the true nature of the beast, folks.
I took a risk and used a modern design fad for the design. I handn't refined it, but wanted to be sure I was moving in the right direction before spending more time on it.
After it, he's says, "I like it, but could we include more of the choir too?" [Translation: That's not what I want; let's do something else.]
Me: Sure
After this second proof...
Him: This is nice but, can you put men in there?
Me: um, ok - more men. Gotcha.
After seeing this next one...
Him: This is good and maybe we could use it somewhere else, but I liked the first photo - can you just add more people? Are you annoyed yet?
Me: *chortle* um... I'll come at this in a different direction [the photo was too small to stretch to the other side of the graphic and the perspective was such that adding a different photo of the choir behind her... well, I didn't have one of those I could use, so time to rig it.]
Me: Bam! More people. [*closes eyes* please don't notice the text changes]
Him: Love it - can you photoshop in our regular pianist LOL
Me: Probably - uh, wait, are you serious?
