Are clients always right? 😀
I created a lettering system where every letterform represents one of the things designers routinely hear from clients.
The typeface becomes a visual dictionary of bad creative feedback, that proves the statement wrong.
Give me your worst client feedback you have received throughout your design career. 😁
"Can you make it bigger?"
That's a classic
A fiend of mine always made logos 20% smaller so that when clients asked for it to be bigger he could just make it the proper size again 😅
Smart move indeed!
Haha thanks
can you make it pop
😂
This is such a clever way to vent about client notes without actually venting, the typeface becomes the punchline. Mine would be "can you make the logo pop more" with zero explanation of what pop means. Which piece of feedback here was the hardest to turn into a letterform?
Thanks!
Although I'm familliar that's very popular and common, I've never really received it haha. Maybe the R was challenging .
Don't want to jinx it ,but so far my clients have had reasonable comments, and often brings in a new perspective, that in the end strengthened the concept.
Absolutely, same here. 🙌🏻
Can you make it fly lol 😂
😂
"we are on the right direction think a bit"
#motivational
So creativity design
Thanks
Wonderful
Thanks!
Great work🔥
Thanks man
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
🙌
Hilarious—You forgot the most important part, make it pop
Haha, yes that was on the list to be honest.
When it loads can it suit up like iron man 😂
lmao
"Make it pop" the holy grail of feedbacks 😂
they hired me for design, and then when I quoted the price, they said, they can do it with claude design.
interestingly they came back 2 months later
Now they want me to use claude or others and design and create there 45th design iteration
🫤
Seems like claude is their go to option, but in the "safe hands" hehe.
chef kiss 💯
Thanks
Nice work
Thanks
good👍
Thanks!
What a classic, Filip! I think these questions are just "part of the game", and over time you learn how to deal with them.
Luckily, these days I mostly get constructive feedback, but this made me think of a project from last year. Brace yourselves.
The client got the design, loved...
Haha I've always said no to such offers.
Fortunately nowadays collanborating with serious clientele I have no need to deal with this certainly.
My absolute favorite was a client asking, "Can we make the site feel more interactive without adding any clickable elements?" I ended up building an entire custom Elementor layout with dynamic motion effects just to satisfy their desire for "movement" without introducing...
this is fun, depicting the usual statements of the clients 😂
oh I just loved the creativity in each letter🙌
There aren’t enough letters, symbols, or fonts in existence to document the full spectrum of client feedback. 🤣
A typeface built from client feedback is the most meta critique I've seen. "Can we make this more dynamic" as a letterform is genuinely brilliant.
Well Sir
I think that's based on their own taste couldn't match your uniquely special Design style.
the customers didn't mean to hate your design, yet it wasn't their goals in their mind
thanks Filip

A few editorial typefaces we’re absolutely obsessed with right now.
These are some of the fonts we keep coming back to at Studio Mayze when we want a brand to feel considered, distinctive and a little more editorial without pushing the design too far.
Good type can do a lot of the heavy lifting. The right one can completely change how a brand feels before you’ve even added anything else.
Each slide shows the typeface in use at the top, with the font name underneath, so you can see how it could look in context rather than just as a specimen.
These are three of our favourites at the moment. Want to see the full selection? We’ve shared all of our favourites over on Instagram.
Which one would you pick? 👀
Showing each typeface in context rather than as a bare specimen is such a good idea, you can feel the mood before you even read the name. Sunday Paper in Newsreader is my pick, that slanted serif has real character. Do you tend to reach for one of these for the body of a brand, or are they mostly headline voices for you?
Website design for Atelier Monolit, an architecture visualization studio.
In this design, the typography, the spacing, and the images are the main protagonists. In times of AI and speed, I believe it’s very important to take the time to think and create what we truly want, and not just what’s trending. In my case, I wanted a minimalist and editorial layout, and that’s not something easy to achieve with just a couple of prompts.
The pale blue canvas, tiny nav and generous empty space let the concrete render carry the page. Very calm, very architectural, and the small body copy sits tidy beside it.
