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.

Would have been awesome to see the edited pictures after including all the customer comments!
oh my god i am not sure if i want to see this
I do.
Sometimes what the public likes and what the art director/client likes are two different things.
Fucking customers, morons from hell.
yeah, so many posts about graphist/designer complaining about their clients...
We're trained professionals who know what we're doing. You wouldn't tell an architect he was using the wrong beams, or a pilot how to fly a plane,
Sometimes customers/clients can be impossible to work with.
"Fucking customers, they give me money for a service and expect the job to be done the way they want it. They put food on my table." Yeah fuck them... IF you were good enough that wouldnt be a problem
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.
Yes, I agree. I just had to deal with one who thought she was "professional" but was not. Doesn't know diddly about artists and how they think.
still...you have the right to have an opinion about someone's else art, professional or not. Nearly all who don't accept critics are idiots.
I agree that it's good to take criticism, but something like "use a brighter black" is stupid and impossible.
this post is ironic, nobody never said these comments ;) For more of the same look at the video 7 red perpendicular lines on the web :D
