Company Hilariously Mocks Stupid Client Requests, Shows What Happens When You Do Everything They Ask
Graphic designers and their clients will never understand each other. And that’s a good thing. I mean, let’s face it, designers have a way bigger understanding of their craft and (usually) the more freedom brands give them, the better the results of their collaborations are. A recent tweet by the Japanese brand of instant noodles called Nissin is a perfect example of the terrible visual disaster that happens when a designer follows through with every single client request.
The tweet included an image for their ad campaign, accompanied by a message, “Please allow us a moment while we fix some mistakes brought up by the client. They say it’s not cheesy enough…” The funny ad then received numerous instructions, explaining every detail that had to be “improved.” The only thing funnier than the absurd notes is the final photo editing result you definitely have to see. Scroll down to check out what the hell designers have to go through when complying with their customers’ photo ideas!

This casual-looking photo started a heavy storm on the Japanese side of Twitter
It was recently tweeted by a Japanese company called Nissin Cup Noodles
They, however, decided the picture needed improvements, “Please allow us a moment while we fix some mistakes brought up by the client. They say it’s not cheesy enough…”
Their first edits led to this, but it clearly wasn’t cool enough
So more perfectly reasonable requests were made
And absurd took complete control of the situation
Finally, we present to you the ad that every brand dreams about but not a single designer would like to produce

I have to agree with the client, If I were going through a magazine I would easily pass the first one without a notice, the final one definitely stands out and leaves a goofy but positive association with the product.

Nissen Cup Noodle is famous for whacko ads. They only ever DO whacko adds. It's their brand. (Go find them on youTube). So you, Bored Panda, have been perfectly trolled. You believed it. SUCKERED!!!

They weren't suckered at all. I'm sure the people at BP are savvy enough to know that this is clearly tongue in cheek. Even though Nissin is sold worldwide maybe they want to expand their market so they're intentionally doing this type of viral internet marketing. Perhaps Bored Panda is being paid to spread the story as well. Hey, you never know.

This looks like guerilla marketing to me, i.e. very intentional by the advertising company.

It probably is. But it's funny because people can definitely relate. It's probably based on personal experience with actual crazy clients.

Yesterday, I watched a compilation of Japanese commercials... some for this very company. The finished product of this fits right in with them.

I'm so distracted with everything that's going on I don't know what type of instant noodle they're trying to sell - is it seafood flavoring with milk?!

Can you make it feel like by looking straightforwardly know is cheese?" Guess it also has something to do with cheese, lol.
