Over 200 witty sayings on the challenges of dealing with clients, meeting deadlines, staying on budget, and coping with the creative life. Submitted by creative editors around the world and gathered into one sweet little PDF reason for living.
During 2011, I ran a contest on my website inviting editors to contribute their favorite sayings about the process of telling stories visually and working for clients. Wow! Who knew there were so many pundits out there? We were overwhelmed.
The contest had only three “rules”:
- Each entry should be 20 words or less; a rule that ended up being more of a “guideline.”
- Each entry should to be suitable for a “family audience.”
- An entry that made me laugh was more likely to win. (This wasn’t a rule, but humor was encouraged.)
Feeling alone? Like no one has ever seen the trouble you’ve seen? You need this book.
