Maybe it is the clash of cultures, because we are a heavily technical company who uses graphic designers on occasion, but they all seem to have never met a deadline they couldn't ignore. My friend runs a wholly web-based company and he has the same problem. Everything seems to take FOREVER and they ask a million questions, like whether we want it in rouge or vermillion (which, apparently are different colors that I did not even know existed).

I think a graphic designer who could relate to the programming staff, get stuff done on time and in general have less of an 'artistic' temperament could make a mint working with people like me and my friend. Basically, we don't care what shade of red it is as long as we get it by Thursday.
