Famous Artworks Ruined By Clients Who Think They Know Better

Designers often have to compromise with their clients, but sometimes it’s just too much. Inspired by @MarieJulien‘s tweet and born out of frustration at client demands, Paris agency Graphéine decided to show what would happen if famous artworks were given to clients.

“An excess of marketing, consensus, and political correctness were never behind a memorable project,” says graphic design advice agency Graphéine.

    Admittedly, art – famous or not – is not always very good from a perspective of readability, clarity, or advertisment effect. From a customer perspective, many classics could indeed be critizised. ;)

    Every artist knows they're putting their work out there to be judged. That goes without saying. But criticizing is easy, creating is hard. Nearly all non-professional critics are idiots.
