We’ve all had those awkward clients at some time or another. If you haven’t, then you will, don’t worry. I’ve been working in various creative fields for around 25 years now, and I’ve experienced all of these. In fact, one particular former client springs to mind that single-handedly embodies at least six of them all at once.

Fortunately the folks at Coplex (formerly Ciplex) have come up with this handy guide on how to deal with them. They highlight 15 of the most common types of clients, and the tell tale signs to watch out for.

Obviously, #6 is our ideal client. The one that hires us to do what we do best, trusts us to do it, and just leaves us alone. The rest, not so much.

But now, hopefully it’s a little easier for you to deal with them.
