I was building a website with some payment options for a client who ran a cleaning service. She’s invested in making her car look like a lady bug, with big floppy eyelashes that stuck out from the headlights. It was pretty striking and people recognized her car around town.

Me: I was thinking I could design the site to look like your car.

Client: That’s a great idea! But how will you do the eyelashes?

Me: Well, I was thinking of just using the lady bug color scheme, but we can put eyes on it if you want?

Client: So can they stick out from the screen? 

Me: …No.
