So you hired a shitty graphic designer. Only shame is, who's the bigger idiot: the bad designer, or the moron who hires them and doesn't realize it until later to whine on YouTube about it? There are far more shitty clients out there than designers, and considering how many shitty designers are out there, that's saying something.

@midniter07 The same argument can be made in both directions. The video is a response to a similar video, but you got it backwards, the shitty designers out there out number the shitty clients ten, 50 or maybe 100 to one. As most clients I tell the designer what my expectation are up front. The designer responsibility is to say 'yes I can do it' , 'yes but it a ton of work that going to cost you' or 'F U, no way'. Not to say 'yes' and do nothing or return garbage that needs fixing.

I tend not to change the names of the layers unless the client asked me to, doesn't mean I'm a bad designer, Most of the time, the client doesn't have photoshop anyway, so the PSD being sent to them is a waste of time.

@dueyftw Roughly 1/10 of my clients are awful. Do you get 10/50/100 x worse odds? What surprises me is that its something clients (bad ones) assume that what you do is easy. They can't do it themselves, but they demand you do something thats ridiculous, and for pennies. When you buy a new tv do you just go to the store and grab one without reading anything about tvs?

Its frustrating when clients research their next dvd player more than what they need to look for in a good graphic designer.
