Design your way

Thursday, April 20, 2017

If you’ve been a designer for some time then you have met all kinds of clients and all kinds of requests, some entertaining, a few normal and a lot really absurd and insane ones.

The good part about this is that you can laugh with your fellow designers by telling the craziest stories you happen to get yourself into.

Yet, a better idea that Ireland’s creative community came up with was to make posters out of the client’s silliest requests and sell them for charity.

From what I understand, the posters were a blast and that’s not at all surprising.
