Not sure if these are real or fake but thought i'd still share them.
AlexVonT
the colors are not the same. the bottom one is more deeply into the red spectrum instead of orange
KhaleesiTheKitty
KhaleesiTheKitty
Also, bottom red is easier on the eyes. Less intense. Whereas the top one is like "IM FUCKING RED BITCH" so I'd go with bottom.
TheSkeletonWar
I don't know KhaleesiTheKitty. They're both the same
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
These seem fake since one of them has the sender and responder switched
commentsbadcomments
Yeah don't know if they're real or not, but they do sound like any number of conversations I had doing graphic design.
FelixTheCAT5e
They aren't. Same background. Inconsistent senders.
FunkyCake
Background is just the standard whatsapp background. But the rest doesnt add up no.

The "1/3" area whatever one is such b.s. if people think it looks better than obviously something is wrong
N3crobard
A few of these are pretty disappointing, designer is being pretentious and unhelpful. Client can be stupid, but they are still your client.
portmanteau79
yeah, these are so super fake.
whateverthevoicestellme
Top Red Beats Red Bottom!
camlyn2
Graphic designer here; not how you wanna speak to a client if you wanna get paid... or your salesperson. Be polite, and don't get personal.
HAHA5555
thank you. :-)

nukethelizards
I like the top red better
TheGodComplex
Top red best red.
dt7693
I vote for top red.
ScreamedStableBoy
Wouldn't #1 name be Charlie Client and not Emma Client. Because why would she put her own name as the person she was texting?
FunkyCake
Charlie designer then I guess, but youre right!
wrainexc
I think most of the stuff like this you see is fake as hell
SteveCraft
There's no consistency on wether the "designer" or the customer is on right or left. If it was real he would always be on the right. Fakes.
KeeleonOhms
Also wouldn't the name be the same...?
SteveCraft
The name at the top would always be different due to different clients.
KeeleonOhms
I mean the names the clients are saying.
mejayd
Had to stop reading when I got to the second one with the threads reversed
KarmasObsession
oh god I don't miss this at all -.- hated life as a designer.
UnstoppableProductions
this is why i gave up graphic design and started landscaping. better money, better coworkers.
ChiefSokka
Shane?
UnstoppableProductions
no but my name does start with an S. but not shane.
ChiefSokka
I work in landscaping with a guy named Shane who gave up his career in graphic design so I figured I'd check
zomBLT
yep. i do junk removal & I make stickers on my plotter. About all i can handle since the clientele & coworkers are so frustrating in gfx
UnstoppableProductions
what i loved shedding the most was the office politics/drama. sitting on ass all day bitching about things that do not matter past 5pm.
HRinappropriate
So all these people have the same shitty phone background and font?
Slander7
It's all fake. They all type similarly, deliver a thematic joke in one screen, and half of them are screenshots from the clients.
FunkyCake
Its the standard Whatsapp background and samsung font... but yeah a few are fake. First one. Green txt is own phone, contact name is her too
proinsiasm
It is whatsapp but they are all from iPhone. From the same phone too looking at the carrier or lack thereof.
hellforce2000
They all look fake to me.
FunkyCake
Haha could be yes, some just did a better job executing it I guess
totalwiener
These are probably mostly fake
pandaberri
Too many fakes, most of the maybe real ones are probably fake. Ruined any enjoyment
Iscreamyouscreamweallscreamforicecream
You do not send a psd to a client... Why should everybody have photoshop?
ShakeyGraves
They own it and every right to it?
NotRainman1344
What? No , he should send it in a (i forget the name omg) file so anybody can open it without meeding to purchase photoshop
Boopbeepbeep
Pdf. Can't make their own changes and steal your work if you don't send the file anyway.
trollprozac
Probably because it's fake
SwitchPup
I am a designer, and you don't. You send them a PDF or JPG to proof.
opheleon
Honestly I thought of Paint.NET at first, which at least has layers and basic editing tools.
TemporaryUzername
that's how you think it works. but that's not always how it works. some clients are hard heads.
valen00
You do send the PSD, as well as a svg, and a jpg/png/tiff, you don't *just* send the psd
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
You should send a flattened JPG to the client. Why waste bandwidth.
KeeleonOhms
That one lost me. No designer would ever send just a psd to a client that didn't request it.
ddot196
Agreed. And honestly the designer kinda sounds like a douche.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Its fake. The from: and to: is reversed.
zerothoughtgiven
Most likely all fake but ahh yes would I have liked to have actually said a lot of these at times.
Nyefo
Or fake. Most likely fake. Actually, all of these are fake lol
saltyslug
You think that someone would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?
meloncanister
they are clearly fake b/c of the lack of a drawn out conversation. All of them just end after the joke. So either he got fired or its fake.
tzxAzrael
probably fake, and yet probably all have been true at some point.
odraencoded
And all sound like douches.
OrbitalTeapot
Came her for this. Sending a client a psd file is just asking for confusion
pickupallyourfloorbags
Thank you! If you had the software etc why the fuck would you be paying a designer. Dick.
Junktrunkjunkie
I usually send a psd a png a jpeg and when appropriate a .eps when dealing with imagery. Formats are good for different things and 1/2
Junktrunkjunkie
2/2 not all clients have the software to save different formats. But then again I have to agree that paint is not really design software.
bleghdfsdjh
If it's a finished image you'll be sending to a client always save it as a jpg or png or something you can open in a basic photo opener.
Kest2703
Even tiff if it really needs to be that high Rez.
RonaldUlyssesSwansonIsMySpiritAnimal
Very true, as a designer can confirm
Danielism
I send my clients a folder with a PDF, PSD, AI, JPEG, PNG, EPS, annddd SVG. All neatly organized and labeled. Like wtf?
yesallthegoodnamesweretaken
.
Danielism
And I ALWAYS include the font. Even its redundant.
derpindrunks
Not all heroes wear capes. I hate font matching.
pierresito
or a pdf even I mean why would you send the psd
j7zH4J
For webdesign the people implementing it may want to crop things differently and prefer to get the psd. For most printed work you use vector
ProfessorFlora
there are a few times when sending the PSD is good or even expected-- but then, the only paid-for art I've done is for petsites
actioncheese
No there isnt. The only time you ever send actual working files is if the client has brought the artwork from you. Otherwise PDF or JPG only
codeusa
Did you really suggest JPG? A lossely compression? You send clients the PSD/AI and a PNG.
ProfessorFlora
"if the client bought the artwork from you" um... yes? yes, they bought the art, that's why I'm doing art, because they bought it.
3x9equals27
Some designer deliver the original files to the costumer. They dont keep the work with them.
shmoogeeoogee
Why shouldn't they? It's a cool program. Takes like a week to get on 56k though. But that was like 14 years ago now
SpiffleGaming
Its in the Adobe TOS. You MUST share the message of Adobe to any and all.
washismycopilot
My thought was maybe this is the untrained in-house designer they were contracted to work with - but that's based on nothing whatsoever.
DickDastardly404
you only send a psd if the other person wants to do some work on it too. Otherwise png, pdf, jpg or some other specific pre-arranged format
cogs
Prearranged and uneditable.
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
Not even PDF. you have to be sure they can't screw with it. You can screw with PDFs they aren't flattened files.
DickDastardly404
You would never send them your only copy, and if you're working with them they might need to access the layers. But like I say, it 1/2
DickDastardly404
Really depends of the nature of the relationship. Most of the files I send are to other artists for collaborative projects. If it's 1.5/2
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
colab is completely different situation than client proofs
DickDastardly404
A print company, you might send them a psd for colour correction, if it's an untrusted client paying for an image, then ofc you send 1.75/2
iwader
Depends. Its probably useful as a company to have the actual assets to be able to pass to web team, marketing, etc.
KeeleonOhms
But that would be secondary. Primary would be bmp jpg or png.
CandidGamera
Or, know you, actually act professionally and discuss beforehand in what format(s) the product is to be delivered.
isthatyoujohnwayne
Ideally both.
josiejosie
But as a first instance you would never send a psd. This post shits me as a designer, it's our job to de code a brief
iwader
I'm a web dev and have seen companies with only jpg versions of their logos and nothing else. I weep a little inside every time I see this.
dasappan
So damn true. Then it's my job to waste all that time to salvage something out of it.
Wing126
Because these are fake?
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
No they aren't. A professional designer would get asked this at least 3 times a day. People are morons when it comes to file types.
Mtumbe
"you need psd to open it" screams fake.
zma123456
All I can see is people with terrible communication skills on both sides.
pierresito
#2 why didn't they send over a pdf?
TheSkeletonWar
Cause the "designer" is an idiot and doesn't know how to do his job.
HaveYouSeenMyLSD
If the problem is something only a designer understand, he needs to explain it to the client. Not like "Hurr durr my client is stupid"
WhyCannotWeBeFriends
I agree, seems to be unpleasant to customer who is paying them money for a service. Teach don't preach beach
HaveYouSeenMyLSD
If I was the customer and the designer acted cocky when I don't know something about designing, I would cancel the job and block him.
picalhead
They are all fake don't worry.
redheadmoanday
Also you probably shouldn't be discussing the problems in short texts. Maybe not the best form of communication there
HaveYouSeenMyLSD
True
RoastedSalted
The problem is often how much the client overestimates their own understanding and then ignores what you provide.
CandidGamera
Then 1) document their demands and 2) deliver exactly what was demanded, regardless of how much it hurts your delicate aesthetic senses.
TheBlasphemingTomatoGuy
Yup. The client is always right. Make them sign off in agreement when work is done so if they come back complaining they can't do shit.
dekket
Some clients are tho... The "my son did this and I like it" argument that some come with is just mind boggling at times.
queenbrochette
This is how I work. Explain the steps and the deadlines and give them a list of things THEY need to provide in order to start the work.
drunkbs
Yes. And then set expectations on delivery dates that slides with delays.
queenbrochette
Oh yeah. ''I gave you all the content 1 week bf my website is supposed to be launched, why do you need more time?'' ffs XD
hayzlit
I won't work without requirements. I am not making anything off the top of my head. Huge amount of extra work after you show it to them
queenbrochette
You are right! If you want to spend hours on concepts that are just going to be brushed away, don't ask questions to your client.
Derfalke
Yeah, but...fake texts for internet points are better.
ozythemandias
I'm so confused which side is the designer and whose the client
FunkyCake
The green txt is the owners phone. Name of contact at the top and txt should be the white. Some of em are def fake. First one for example.
Squossifrage
They are all fake.
FunkyCake
Since the green text says "hey charlie" the contact name at top should be charlie, not emma client.
PlatypusInterrobang
Several of these are fake or staged for sure.
Rogueular
Why the fuck would all these business people use whatsapp? Fake and lame as fuck.
DotSlashNatalie
It's a probability it's fake - but if that is what the designer uses to communicate that is what you use.
DotSlashNatalie
But that last one screams fake to me.I'm kind of color blind but I can still see a subtle difference.Maybe their phone's display is limited?
Rogueular
Hello I'm a real designer please download this shitty messaging app because I'm 11 and don't use email or text messages.
DotSlashNatalie
I'm afraid we don't hire 11 year olds. Give me a call when you are older.
awarriorstill
I like the bottom red better.
nitebandit
Samsies.
NotJayForSerious
Me too. It isn't as harsh and in my face.
randomgibberish
I like the top red. It looks richer
PeregrinTook13
Top red!
CheesyComeback
Team top red!
Yiffer5000
It actually looks slightly pink on my screen. I like the top better. :/
gfrogisme
As a person with red/green color deficiency I can confirm. They are identical.
MaximumRadius
The top one is red. the bottom one is pink.
Thegawkingdead
Bottom red looks less intense to me....lol
Nyefo
It is less intense. It's red with a bit of blue mixed in, meaning it's less saturated. That means it's not vibrant, it's more gray
BrownskinOriental
What? My eyes aren't bad is it? The bottom one shades more to the light red towards pink. Top is darker red and more intense.
JeSuisIvre
Yeah I think it has more blue in it
SweenDog
It looks like a softer rose red, while the is an angry tomato
secretoaster
It is. But your eyes aren't real, how can you trust the red.
TheSlightlyOptimisticButStillRatherGrimReaper
They say freak, when you're singled out, The red, it filters through.
Thegawkingdead
I feel an existential crisis coming on...
kaykicing
Mirrors aren't real either, how can you trust yourself?
BCEQT
I don't know if I'd ever use red as a background color though. Too many things clash with red especially those reds
Kevincatalan
Too red is warmer towards orange and bottom I cooler towards magenta/purple
Kevincatalan
Top*
CaptainHughJass
This is going to end in an imgur schism. Mark my words.
DrunkIrishAstronaught
Ugh, it makes you look childish. I prefer the top red, more sophisticated and straight to the point kind of red.
DerpyDuck1
Is it just me or does it have a more magenta hue to it?
MrTumbleweed
Agreed. Bottom red FTW
L3gionAir
bottom one is a lot softer and more appropriate for anything design imo
alpacasaurusrex
Same
pairou
Same. It's softer and less PUNCH IN THE FACE BITCH
BlackAssMamaWhiteAssDaddy
So you're into spanking hm?
HowlingDysphoria
It's red and gold
Yiffer5000
No, it's magenta and black.
TheHankster
You monster! Team Top Red to the end!
temobuttdive
It depends on what the project is. Personally I like top red but it isn't as usable as bottom red (which has more of a pink hue)
iamtotallyahuman
This is why designers use pms colours. You can never trust seeing colours on a screen either.
WololoDownvoteBecameUpvote
Left red is best red
icameinlikeafeckingball
For a background: bottom, for a logo: top.
withasideofhotsauce
And that kids is how the great war of 2016 began...
RedPaws
Depends on what you will use it for top red is intense and aggressive while the bottom is more soothing
Argondey
Top red went full saturation.....you never go full saturation
Thegawkingdead
I knew it....my eyes are REAL
german6th
Whats wrong with the photo on business card?
SomeGuyInNorthCarolina
.
washismycopilot
I'm going to guess the design was already complete and adding a photo would require a re-design - but otherwise I'm with you.
zerothoughtgiven
Realtors / low budget lawyers tend to do this. Not saying its bad or wrong just stating a very common trend of the demographic that does it.
ChuckIHadADoubleBuurgerrr
Nothing if the client's business fits having a photo on their card.
TobySomething
Yeah, I think this was a reasonable request - and just saying no without explaining why not is douchey.
OhElleNo
.
WellHungNerd
Tacky. I guess people just wanna hand out selfies today, cause nothing they say is memorable enough.
Applefaces
Nonsense, plus a professional portrait isn't a selfie
WellHungNerd
And yet, I've NEVER seen a lawyer or doctor or architect or banker or any serious professional having their mugshot on a business card.
ChuckIHadADoubleBuurgerrr
Depends what your business is. Could be completely appropriate for, I don't know, a model.
WellHungNerd
Except models don't make business cards. Sauce: My gf is a model.
