    Whiteboard

    clientsfromhell:

    After presenting a new design for a company website, the owner leaned over, asked if she could suggest some changes to the layout, got out a black marker and started drawing the changes on my MacBook’s screen. I was stunned.

    oy vey.

    In reference to a photo shoot of a client's new office building...

    clientsfromhell:

    Client: We love our new building and we thought it would be great to have pictures of it in all four seasons from the exact same angle.

    Photographer: That sounds like a really cool project.

    Client: Great! So what are the chances having those ready for our convention next month?

Where do they do the electric slide though?!?
briandigital:

Great shot from inside Apple’s just opened Upper West Side Apple Store, that gives you an idea of the architecture in context with it’s customers and surroundings. Beautiful. This may be my favorite Apple Store design, yet. (via petervidani)


Note the difference between this and the Microsoft store. In the Apple store the customers outnumber the employees. In the Microsoft store, there are so few customers that the employees can start dancing without anyone to get in their way.
