When designing a website for a client, the client initially expressed that he wanted to use Burgundy.
Client: This isn’t right. You know the color blood red?
Me: Yeah, I think I know what you’re talking about.
Client: Yeah, I love blood red. I want the logo to look like that. Do you know what it would look like if you took a paintbrush and dipped it in blood, and smeared it downwards? How the blood would be darkest in the center, and there would be splatters of blood and lighter shades of blood around it?
Me: You want a gradient?
Client: No, I want it to look like the blood of all our victims.
Me: I’m sorry, what?
Client: You know, from all the bugs we’ve terminated.
Me: Oh.
