This video is priceless. It's not satire - it's a dramatization of what creatives go through on a daily basis.

*shivers* Graphic Design in a corporate atmosphere. Been there done that. And your boss is not only younger than you, but has a skate-by degree in Transporatation Engineering. What he's doing leading the design department is beyond me. Oh wait... he's married to the VP. So, there he sits all day, tapping his pencil on his desk, screwing one of the data entry clerks at lunch, and telling the designers to make the text taller, and move it "I don't know...somewhere else."

i was thinking the same thing as vfxman- only with the octagon- so they really feel that they could claim ownership over the design and feel that all their changes along the way were necessary in getting back to pretty much the exact same thing the designer came up with.

This is true with every big company. They have about 20 people providing their "input" and ends up making something very EZ into a pile of crap. Just because no one person wants to make a call on the project.

This is like all the other comments, funny (in a depressing way) because it's so true. Amazing that more of us designers aren't also alcoholics, and why I pine for a job like other occupations where people don't tell me how to do mine, the one they're paying me for doing. When clients get like the ones in the video, we designers should start telling the clients how to do THEIR jobs, to give them the hint. We don't tell them how to do their jobs, why do they insist on telling us how to do ours?

Yep, this is reality. This is what corporate America's marketers have become - a bunch of people who hide behind committees, focus group results and paint-by-numbers "strategic best practices" instead of admitting the hard truth...Sometimes the solution IS that simple and that ideas that truly make an impact one way or the other actually means putting your ass on the line. When are we gonna wake up and realize people are sick of being inundated with marketing crap?

In my experience, this type of scenario is more common with cheaper clients and smaller budgets. Oddly enough, the ones spending the big bucks are also usually the most willing to trust your judgment and make good use of the money. Cheap clients are fickle and meddling.

this happens because people on the client side feel they should have a creative say on the design process. and the designers on the creative side fail to make it clear why they are the designers and not the other way around. some clients still are a pain in the ass.
