Eventually, I would like a banner that speaks of goddess and majesty. I have envisioned a star (representing the sacred self) with a heart in it (representing being pregnant with desire). Something like a pregnant star of JOY that shimmers and sparkles with possibility and radiance!

:confused:

WTF...what the hell are they talking about...

Tell them to in-vision it in their mind and you will come up with something!!!

Maybe that will work better...

Kinda weird when you think about it...

My 2 cents...

Thanks

Do you have any idea what the hell they are asking for. I know I sure don't. But it sounds like it will be good when you finish it for them. Can you show it to us when you have it done?

Thanks

  Wow! I just love the emphasis (by capitalization) of the word JOY! This is one seriously happy banner!
  
  Thanks

  Your client may be in a self help (spiritual) niche, the problem is in them thinking every one understands how they communicate.

Is your client describing what's on a Carebear's stomach (hah, remember those little guys?)?

Anyways, i think id like to hire your client to do some copywriting for me - I couldn't be that poetic even if i tried.

Wow! The way I see it your client seems to be a poet. He has indeed a figurative way on visualizing his banner request. I can't figure out how are you going to satisfy this request. *Phew!

Thanks

Really? How do you guys not get this??? Pregnant star with a heart on its stomach. Throw in some rainbows for good measure and the druggies that view the site will be amused and stay on the page for hours. Its actually very smart marketing, and while they're high as heck, they'll accidently click a buy button somewhere on the screen. It's the perfect strategy.

that's why i don't take pills from strangers... it always ends up on the internet

get them to resubmit the request with a little less "poetry" and maybe provide some guidelines for them to follow

Of course there's nothing wrong with it - just sharing because I found it humerous.

I'm certain she'd never see it as I'm working on teacher her to cut/paste still and where the reply button is on her email client - literally.

And she's actually very lighthearted about the whole thing as you can probably imagine by her request.

Me too. I find it quite disrespectful to post a client's request on a public forum for the purpose of mocking them. It's not as though they were being rude or abusive to you. If you don't understand, ask for clarification or examples.

I never said I didn't understand or needed clarification, I simply asked if anyone could beat it... nor was I mocking her. Just found the request unique and asked if anyone could beat it, really hoping for some great stories from other warriors.

If you do not want the job, for any reason, just tell her.

They told you right there what they wanted!

Make a shining star with a slightly bigger belly and is asking for a spaghetti-peanut butter sandwich.

This was an entertaining thread. What the hell was that guy talking about?

Tell him, "your words look like English but I don't understand what the hell you're saying".

Or

"It's a banner dude. Not a 19th century Post-impressionist piece that's going to hang in the Guggenheim Museum"

"The sacred self" -- you've got to be kidding. Sounds like self-delusion to me. Man is not god and never will be. Too new-age-old for me.
