random thoughts with ryan

My name is Ryan Coker.

I am a graphic designer, originally from Orlando, Florida. Recently, I moved to Richmond, Virginia where I work remotely for an Orlando based company.

I also have another blog where I post pictures I have taken while living in Richmond.

perfectly put (via Clients From Hell)

Prospective client: $400 for a logo?! Why are you so expensive? My nephew has Photoshop—I can just get him to do it.
Me: Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
Prospective client: Yes.
Me: Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.

Lorem ipsum

clientsfromhell:

After I sent a client a mockup with lorem ipsum as filler text:

It’s good but there is a weird language on the page. It will either need to be translated or removed.

I have actually received a comment like this before.

Brian Williams : Jon Stewart "has gone from optional to indispensible."

soupsoup:

The old arc of a news story went like this: News happens. Media cover news. Audience reacts, then turns in for the night. For the past several years, however, there’s been another step added to the end of the process: being held to account for our faults by a comedy show with a sharp eye and a sharp tongue. How did we live without it?

“On occasion, when we’ve been on the cusp of doing something completely inane on NBC Nightly News, I will gently suggest to my colleagues that we simply courier the tape over to Jon’s office, to spare the Daily Show interns the time and trouble of logging our broadcast that night. That usually gets us to rethink the inane segment we were planning on airing.”
