Their Staff Come From Bad Stock

A few years ago, I got an email from someone who got my name from a client of mine. The person who emailed me asked if I was open to redesigning their flyers and data sheets to which I said yes; I was happy to help.

Because they had a small budget, I had to use stock images to represent their workers, finding the most appropriate photos available. The person I was working with looked at my design and the photos I used.

Client: “Hmm, the uniforms aren’t what our workers wear. Can you get the people in the photos to try on different uniforms and hats with our company logo?”

Me: “These are stock images.”

Client: “Yes, I know, but can you ask them anyway?”
