A Quick Guide to Getting Your Designs Approved
In the graphic design world, getting a thumbs-up from clients can be a bit tricky. I’ve been there, and here’s what I’ve figured out to make it smoother.
First off, when your design gets rejected, don’t feel bad. It’s not about your skills; it’s just that everyone has different likes. Clients are like people with different tastes in food – unique and varied. So, instead of forcing your ideas, try to understand what they like.
Design isn’t only about what’s trendy. Yes, trends are cool, but 20% of your attention should be on understanding what the client wants. It’s like finding a balance between what’s hot and what the client prefers.
Talking is super important. Unlike robots, we designers are problem-solvers. So, talk to your clients openly and make friends. This helps in understanding what they really want, avoiding confusion.
When your design gets rejected, it’s not the end. Ask for examples of what they like. This way, you get a better idea, and it saves you from redoing stuff.
To sum it up, success in designer-client teamwork is about understanding differences, caring about what the client likes, and talking it out. By doing these things, you not only make better designs but also build strong relationships.
