Mactonex at Clientcopia says what many professional artists are thinking:
I start to wonder why a financial officer has any say whatsoever in the (design of the) cover? Why does she get to try and do my job? I wouldn't phone her up and say "Oh hi, I was just looking at the balance sheet, would you be able to change all the nines to sevens? It's just that I don't really like nine, and seven's my birthday." It just wouldn't happen, it's not my job. Design is my job, so why in an organisation with a supposed coherent design strategy does she get to decide?
