I agree with so much. Our philosophy in our business is focus on educating our clients. As much as they are willing to listen I explain what they are buying from us and why we are making the decisions we do. Unfortunately in the states there are many unscrupulous people in this industry, and you're right, they do lord their knowledge over their clients. I know because I often get clients who are very naive and had a not-so-happy experience with somebody else. Open communication and client education are two big components to avoiding the relationship from heading in the wrong direction. Thanks for the info! Excellent article! I agree with so much.

You are right. Graphic designers are artist and we tend to possess the vanity of an artist which can cause a breakdown between designers and clients. A good level of communication can eliminate the barriers that exist. I have found that communicating their vision back to them allows you to gian their trust because they realize you are listening to the direction they want their design to go in. Good post.

Since i am a designer, my hope was to provide some insight and clarity into what designers look for, but in a language clients may understand better. I am also hoping that this article would encourage designers to realize the part we play in the gap and steps we can take to help bridge it. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment!
