So you say subtle things to them like "did you ever attend classes at the art school?".... or "well... that looks like something my Grandmother would drive". Then they send you a few more of their crazy ass ideas... and you give them more "input" like.... "is this for some other customer?" or "I didn't know you worked on the BatMobile". After a few back and forth along these lines - they settle down and get to work with some of the ideas YOU gave them 7 sets of drawing and $3500 in billings ago. I usually give them kudos at this point something along the lines of "one more set and we're done" or "I've got some stuff I really like from "X" (his competitor) that I think is going to work". After "critiquing" a few details, some times I ask them if they'd really like me to post this sh!t on the Internet...

In about a year they finally come up with one to two things you can use and everybody is happy.


LOL
Living in the oem automotive world I had to lol at this a little bit.
