Designer Rant - Every Designer - Graphic, Trailer, Layout - Knows What I'm Talking About

Honestly, sometimes people are so clueless, dumb, and rude! I had a requester for my trailer shop - I finish up their request (in their summary of the trailer they only put one line, something they wanted at the end & the only description of the mood/theme of the trailer I got was angsty and romance - wow, so much details!) and they comment back to me that the trailer shouldn't be black&white - umm, it does represent the angst, right? - and it should have lines throughout the trailer as well - which they didn't give me!

Ughhhhhhhhh, I'm not entirely pissed at that requester, just at the people in general who don't pay attention to the form & who treat the designers as gods. We Are Not Gods. We can't look inside your mind and see what kind of trailer you want. You have to use your WoRdS!!

Rant officially over, thank you.

Right?! Glad to know I have someone who thinks that too! It's so frustrating whenever I get those kind of requests. Like, why couldn't you be more specific?

It's not just trailer requesters. It's a whole segment of people here on AFF who claim to be "readers" but can't seem to be bothered to read. 힘내!
