8 Types of Bad Creative Critics
I have to thank Tom Fishburne for a great little comic strip that I got a huge kick out of this morning. A friend of mine passed it along and it really resonated with me. You might remember my blog post "I think you should add a valve there, Mr. Plumber." If not, HERE is a link! That post talked about how advertising and creative services is one area that most everyone fashions themselves somewhat of an expert, regardless of their training and, um, actual talent.
Well Mr. Fishburne captured this idea in pictures. He uses humor to illustrate exactly why it's dangerous when you don't trust creatives to be creative! I personally know someone who fits each of these descriptions.

I think I've worked with all of them at one point or another.
It's such a shame too, because most of these people are completely ignorant to their ways. It did have me giggling though, made my morning.
Hello?
Very funny cartoon.
What about the client who is fully aware that he fits a disproportionate number of these unflattering (though painfully accurate) character types?
What if he chooses tro schitzophrenically (sp?) assume these personalities just so the ad agency can make more overhead and profit from repeated changes?
Long term clients are like family...you just gotta put up with 'em sometimes and smile like you love 'em.
