We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Poster

Client: “I like your work so far, but the picture of my product should be bigger.”

Me: “But it’s already taking up most of the space, and the text is being squeezed into a tiny space.”

Client: “Who cares about text? Nobody reads the text; the picture is the important part. Make it twice as wide and twice as high.”

Me: “That’s not possible. The picture would be about thirty inches wide, and this poster is eighteen by twenty-four inches.”

Client: “Your point being?”

Me: “I can’t make the picture twice as big; all of it it wouldn’t fit on the poster.”

Client: “Nonsense. Just center the image really carefully.”
