Spooky things are afoot now that Halloween is approaching, though designers get spooked by different things than the rest of us. Creative Market blogger Laura Busche compiled a list of 10 of the greatest fears that designers have when doing their jobs.
Judging by these images, many designer fears have to do with clients that have no idea what they want, what they're asking for, or how complicated some of these designers' tasks can be. These horrible client emails and posters show just how rough of a time designers can have with clients.
If you have any of your own design- or client-related horror stories, grab a seat around the campfire and tell us in your spookiest voice!

I am not a designer, I work in the Marketing department, so I meet designers for our campaign designs, etc. I always try to sympathize with them. My manager tho is always an a*****e: "This is good, this is really good!...BUT, can you change the colour, move this here, remove this, add this...AND Oh, review your quotation! This is too expensive!". I always side with the designers and argue "our" case with him! :P
I can totally relate to this. Made me smile still. I love what I'm doing.
