Last
month I decided to try graphic design and signed up for 99designs where I won
my first contest. Now I have to do the design handover but my client is driving
me crazy.
She
keeps commenting on the designs I showed a month ago and asks me to fix things
that I’ve already fixed multiple times. I upload file after file but she
doesn’t even look at the new corrected images. I don’t think she knows there is a
design handover page.
She
refused to buy one single stock image even though I had previously warned her
she’d have to purchase it.
Last
week she asked me to include her barcodes. I told her to send them via email.
Since then she has sent me at least 5 more messages asking me to fix things
that are already fixed but she didn’t send the damned barcodes. And she keeps
telling me to include them. HOW?!
She
wanted her book to be spiral bound so I changed it but she didn’t even look at
it. She kept commenting on the old version asking me to change the binding. In
the end I made a collage with all 13 spiral bound book mockups I had previously
uploaded. SHE SAW IT!
I
asked her to tell me what exactly is it that she likes/dislikes about my
designs. In return she just hit the “like” button on some of my oldest designs.
Last
night she emailed me to tell me her computer crashed and I’d have to wait more
for the barcodes (what a surprise).
I
sent her a long and detailed reply with pictures of the newest designs, asking
her what’s wrong with them. At least this way she might see them. Wish me luck!
