Please Also Be Sure To Use 100% Of Your Brain
I just sent a homepage design to one of my return clients in JPG format. Her feedback struck me as peculiar.
Client: “I can’t read the text; it’s too small. Can you make it bigger?”
Me: “You actually can’t read it? Or do you just think it should be bigger?”
Client: “I can’t read it.”
Me: “Are you viewing the design at its full 100% resolution?”
Client: “No. I am viewing it at 80%, and I even printed it out and measured it with a ruler. The text cannot be below half an inch in height.”
Me: *Baffled* “It is imperative that you view the website at its full 100% resolution before giving feedback on font size.”
Client: “I don’t understand why you can’t make such a simple change. We have never had this problem before.”
Me: “This isn’t about making the change. You need to view my designs properly before your feedback will be meaningful.”
Client: “I don’t care. Just make it bigger, or else we won’t be able to move forward with the project.”
