It’s not purpley enough!
Great post from Thomas Stephan on Business Of Design Online (BoDO) called From the trenches of in-house design.
Best quotes:
“It’s not purpley enough?” That’s your answer to the question as to why you didn’t like it, and why it’s been a coffee cup parking lot for a week? “You just don’t like it?”
“Okay, stop. Just…just stop…step away from the Microsoft WordArt toolbar right now. I mean it. That’s right. Put the mouse down, buddy. Now what exactly were you trying to do here?
You’re trying to show me how this brochure should look? Wow. Okay…I can accept that. I get the idea. But if I recall right, I left a proof of the brochure on your desk a week ago. You were supposed to get back to me about this because it was vital and super important.”
Been there, done that, got ProofHQ.
