At one point, we (lead dev (me) and lead designer) colluded to submit a terrible homepage design to a nit-picky CMO to buy an extra 2wks of development time. She'd given us 6wks to completely rebuild a small corporate website, and we knew we needed at least 8 (it was still a nearly impossible rush). She exhibited a classic micromanager habit of the inexperienced: she needed/expected everything, including copy layout, to be pixel perfect in Adobe before any coding could start. So the developers had the real design we knew she'd approve already in development while the design team showed her the version filled with ducks. She performed exactly as we anticipated and work continued as though she was never consulted. It was a risk, but she was extraordinarily predictable in her duck removal... It's not something I'd do to someone with an opinion I respect. Thankfully she left right after that. Probably with a story of how she single-handedly saved the redesign herself, but whatever. ;) |
