The rough had the pre-production text he sent me which HE TOLD ME was far from finished and would be changed definitely for sure 100%. I dropped it in with some images he gave me to see if I could make it work in the allotted space or if we needed to change size and get new quotes etc. If it wasn't a drop-everything and run out the door meeting, I would have made a blank dummy. I told him 2 times before handing him the item to ignore all content. I told him two more times as he started marking it up. | |

If you have a boss who doesn't understand design, showing the squashed version might not be a good idea. Although by "show" I mean "walking into boss's office with a printout," not "emailing a PDF which could be forwarded to a printer." | |
| Oct 4, 2011 at 16:52 | comment | added | horatio | I would not show it to the boss. My experience is that one of two things will happen: a) the squashed redesign will be printed or; b) the poor quality will impact the boss' opinion of the employee. There is NOTHING you can say to deflect either of these things with an inexperienced-with-design process individual: they always hear your caveats, but they don't seem to apprehend that you are providing drafts suitable for a single aspect or part of discussion. | |
