Graphic Designer vs client

Real design is about simplicity and elegance. Not lens flare and wordart!!!

Apr 28, 2012 - Well people might spend a few hours on it but its pretty much how it goes with designers, you have to spend days for a good idea and a few minutes (if you know your tools well) to do the actual job. So it is understandable to charge thousands of dollars if the design is worth thousands of dollars. If people were being payed for the amount of time they spend doing the actual work, government workers would be millionaires while professional sport players would be poor as fuck.

Apr 28, 2012 - Because it's hard to make a good logo/website ? I'm not saying anyone can do it. I just find it laughable some people will charge thousands of dollars for something they worked on for a few hours.

Feb 27, 2012 - Unfortunately im seeing less and less professional logo designs around and more and more microsoft word default pyramids. It's because it involves art, but what they don't understand is that you have to have an eye for good design - and that is what they are paying you for.

Feb 27, 2012 - Heres one ive recently had: "can you take [the worst aspect] from this idea , and [the worst aspect] from that idea, combine them both and have the text running diagonally through it? (so you end up with a horrendous logo with text that you can't read properly). Fucking idiots. I am not hired to use adobe illustrator for you. If you want a shit looking logo, make it yourself.

Feb 23, 2012 - Imagine if you told an architect that you could do your own plans in Word! It would never happen, so why do fucking clients risk their businesses success by choosing to create their own designs!?! And now with websites like 1and1.co.uk they will also think they are qualified web designers!! Fuck me!!!

Jan 27, 2012 - These clients easy to deal with: just show them the door. But after 30 years in the industry I know that the days when designers enjoyed a modicum of respect are long gone. The PC has made everyone a designer; put the tools into the hands of the amateur, the talentless and the barely competent (often cheap hands in an over-supplied industry) and thus the perceived worth of the skilled designer has never been lower. As 'DIY' design programs become more common this situation will only get worse.
