Kaputt: From Swiss German “Er macht alles kaputt.” (“He ruined everything”) or “Jetzt isch alles kaputt” (“It’s all broken now”). Used to express frustration over clients who change the design spec mid-project. Sometimes clients make it Kaputt by becoming armchair designers themselves with instructions like “make it bigger”, “move it a bit to the left”, “widen the columns” etc. Non-designers: If you are not a designer, you are not a designer. Designers: Explain, don’t complain.
