The Client is Always Right: Jonathan Quintin's fun project to make you smile

If you work in the creative industries, then you'll know only too well that the client is always right. Which is why you'll especially enjoy this self-initiated project by Jonathan Quintin at StudioJQ.

Teal poster with text reading "I don't like it, but I don't know why?" and "Oh another round!" by Jonathan Quintin at StudioJQ

Jonathan explained: "It was a project we worked on to develop our illustration and branding skills. It's kind of fun and funny subject too, as we have had some 'interesting' clients in the past. Have a look through, it may make you chuckle, it may make you scream, either way, it's a reality in the design world. But it's all good, what designer doesn't like a challenge."

Of course, Jonathan's disclaimer is that not all his clients are like this. It's only been a small handful over the years.
