The Design Bible

[Rienone]

Which is totally true !

i don't know if you ever got to the point where you lost your temper with a client but i feel that you did, i know i did once and i suggested that i would give him the mouse and let him do the design !

Many times I have wanted to say. Why dont you just design the damn thing since you know EXACTLY how design works! But I dont!

Sometimes clients don't make the best design decisions, but you can't butt heads with them. They pay you to create what they want, not what you want. I have to remember that on a daily basis.

Of course you should always explain the design choices you are making to a client, but in the end the client is always right.

You're right libby! Right out of the "Selfless, Client is Always Right, Design Bible"

I deal with 10+ new design clients each day and they range from Grandma Rose's Knitting Brochure, to corporate clients such as PNY and Cash America. It can be a discouraging when they don't go your direction, but that's our job! Make them happy, and at the end of the day, you've made yourself a valuable asset.

Keep truckin libby, you're on the right path.
