Probably the Best Cautionary Tale in Creative Collaboration Ever

A friend just sent me a link to this hilarious post on Jezebel.com about an e-mail exchange between a designer and a clueless employee, who asks him to design a lost cat poster.

It's a great lesson in appreciating the disconnect that often happens between diva designers and folks who wrongly assume that art directing is an innate skill possesed by everyone, like walking or chewing gum.
