I used to work as a full time graphic designer. One of my clients asked me to produce a few simple diagrams. He sent me what he wanted in Excel. I was a bit confused why he wanted them ‘designed’ but I should have convinced him otherwise because after over 20 rounds of amends, he finally approved the set of diagrams that looked EXACTLY like the ones he produced himself. 

I wish I’d charged him by the hour.
