Do you think the number one reason Clint lies awake at night is because he was once compelled by Loki to tell him everything and so there is an angry, powerful, Norse Godish Alien out there, with a personal vendetta against the Earth and the Avengers
now this is what i like to see… if i’m gonna buy some fancy new Strong Product i wanna see it beat the weaker version of itself into total useless garbage…… its called innovation and i’ve never been so happy to be a capitalist…
Several years ago,
when I was working for a small ad agency, we were approached by a woman who was
dating a lawyer who was also a lounge singer in his spare time. She wanted us
to design a business card and a CD booklet for his new album that he was
releasing.
The woman was a
self proclaimed “visionary” and she was the “driving force behind the creative”
of this man’s album. These are clients you run from screaming, but we were a
small struggling agency, so we took the job on.
My coworker comped
up both the business card and the booklet and she came in to look at it. I
heard the entire conversation while I was sitting in my cubicle, and it was
completely ridiculous.
Coworker:
Okay, so here’s what I did. I tried to keep a clean look and kept the font
consistent through the whole thing, and…
Client: Well,
it’s good, but I hate the font.
Coworker:
Okay, what would you like it changed to?
Coworker:
Alright… I… I guess I’ll just do that, then.
The client leaves.
Coworker: What
the #$@% is a hamburger font?
The rest of the
office tried to figure out exactly what she meant. It was then that I yelled
over the cubicle wall “Wait… she didn’t mean Hamburger Upright, did she?”
He gave her a few
different versions, and he decided to do one that was set in Hamburger Upright,
just for the hell of it.
My coworker showed
the client the business card with Hamburger Upright in place of the original
font and she LOVED it.
