Looking for some help re client's and basically how to express that they're wrong and I'm not their lapdog.

Volunteering to do graphic design for an independent short film. Someone close to me wrote the script but director was planning on going ahead without a designer (stretched scaled images & Papyrus I shit you not, I stepped up to help out the person I care about because I want this to look as good as possible so they get noticed (hopefully anyway).

I've only been on board since last Thursday when the director phoned me and told me she needed an image for the crowd funding page with other social media images so I said no problem. The only images I had to work with were stills I could pull from the minute of footage already shot (at Dawn so very dark and very blue). I did my best and came up with something eye catching and with room to expand the identity further when it came to posters and other materials.

However, she and the producer agreed that it didn't suit their vision for the film (which they didn't explain to me, partly my fault because I didn't ask). That was fair enough, had a meeting, understood the look they wanted and spent a few hours today doing it (again, a small social media image just to set the tone a little).

Once again she's pushing back and wants something weak with a bad colour palette. They've already planned what the poster will look like which I've just been informed of and basically what they want is everything to look like the True Detective title sequence.

I'm going on vacation for a week tonight and need to email back before I leave. I'm concerned with how I'm being treated right now over something small – being told exactly what to do rather than being treated as a professional basically. I'm volunteering my time and I can only imagine what things'll be like later on.

Any tips on how to approach this? (image: director wants flames over everything)

tl;dr Clients being controlling on a project I'm volunteering for, advice?

Would you guys even consider it as a "logo" ??
Let's be honest: it's shit, right ?
Could anyone guess what this "website" is about, before actually checking it out ? Any tips for improvements ?

Hi guys. I like the font visible in the left side of the pic. It's called "MS Pゴシック", but if you visit the page from Linux, the font doesn't work. I guess that is only for Windows systems. Do you know a font with the same aspect whitout this problem?

Hey guys I just graduated high school and I noticed most of you are terrible at art and design.

I was wondering, do most of you have jobs under this field? Need an answer for clarification so I know I can easily get into this industry based on the shitty work done here.

A little about myself:
>used photoshop for three years, illustrator for one, know all the hotkeys now
>know less about the other adobe programs like indesign, after effects, bridge, etc.
>have some knowledge about typesetting, worked with a letter press at a summer college program at a design school
>sketching, painting, and illustrating since I was ten under a professional artist
>taking the first year off of college, had 3.8 gpa and 4-5 AP scores, 21 ACT, 2320 SAT (took before the change)

Thank you!
Also, what schools should I be applying to?
