I have only been doing design for a job (career) for a short while. The first thing I noticed is clients. It can be quite hard at times listening to clients and getting them the things that they want. They don’t always explain themselves and sometimes what they want is well impossible. There are a few things I have learned so far that makes things a little bit easier at times.
1. CLEARLY explain everything you do.
2. Make sure you understand what they want before sending a million files. Talk with them in person and on the phone.
3. Explanations don’t always work, show them what you mean.
4. Be Patient!
5. Always remember, if it’s not fun anymore, just think about the money.
That is about it for what I have learned in my short while. If you have any tips or ideas which should be added to the list please contact me here or leave me a comment. I am always open to suggestion!
