San Francisco based artist, Scott Campbell, has created perhaps the most accurate illustrations to sum up how a creative idea can be crushed in seven ways.
I have lost count of the times I have come against many of the idea killers! The 'Client Think He's Creative' is one of the worse offenders!

Client who thinks they're creative is the WORST! A friend of mine actually got asked by the client to make work in Comic Sans...
