[ How many graphic designers does it take to change a lightbulb? ]




How many graphic designers does it take to change a lightbulb?


'Does it have to be a lightbulb'

'Dunno...ask an account exec'

'Can we have the lightbulb as a 300dpi jpg or an eps (preferred)'

'What's the pantone ref for the bulb?'

'What...change it again?? I've already changed it five f***ing times already!!'

we don't actually CHANGE the light bulbs... we're too busy critiquing the package they came in!

'a light bulb? How completely cliche! EVERYBODY does light bulbs'

What do you mean you liked the first light bulb better? Fine... I'll change it back... but I'm billing you for my time for BOTH bulb changes.

'Can't you just hit a button and make that light bulb light up?!?'

Marketing- "We needa lightbulb put in as quickly as possible will this one be alright (holding up a bulb for a refrigerator) or should we get a different one?


Graphics-"Well that bulb won't do because this is a flouresent light and that is for kitchen appliances.I need the correct bulb andif you get me the correct bulb I can have it changed in a few minutes."


TWO WEEKS LATER


Marketing- "This is still a rush job that needs to be done as quickly as possible will this bulb fit (holding up a flashlight bulb) or should we get yet another one?
Graphics- "This bulb won't fit either. I need the correct bulb before I can complete this project!"

Marketing- "Can you give me a drawing so I will know exactly what you want?"

Graphics- "Here you go here is your drawing. Please get me the correct bulb this time"

THREE DAYS LATER

Marketing- "I lost the drawing can you give me another copy?"

Graphics- "Here is the %^&**!?drawing! Now get me the correct bulb!!"

TEN DAYS LATER

Marketing- "Here is the correct bulb. We promised the client they could have this right away why aren't you done yet??"

Graphics completes the job in 30 seconds.

'Why did you give me these low quality lightbulbs? don't you realize how pixelated the Room will be?'
