Things I have made by wiggling my mouse

Much like developers are not (usually) designers, designers are not necessarily: brand experts, user experience experts, or anything other than designers.

I understand designers getting upset with clients that think that they know more than they do, but I've seen just as many designers that are prima donnas that are more concerned with making something look "cool" than useful or appropriate for the client.
