Having a design is a two (2) way process and demands the client to be present for helpful input. Ever thought why your expectations sunk upon design reveal and what went wrong? Well, we’ve a handy list of the key challenges a designer faces during work (that you can fix). Come, let’s take a closer look at those challenges and how you can fix them to speed up the process and expect the best work out of that creative mind.
UNREALISTIC DEADLINES
Creativity is unpredictable!
And, as a client, you should understand that the designer needs ample time to thing out of the box in order to design something remarkable. Now, if you set deadlines that are too short for a design, you will, often, encounter with a poor result. Because this breed needs time to think of a unique idea that you can incorporate in your branding endeavors. So, be little patient and set reasonable deadlines when you’re dealing with a designer. Because this would prove beneficial for you in the long run where you won’t have to send the design back for another revision. So, decide carefully if you are ready to wait for revision or allow him ample time for designing that gets approved in one go.
UNCLEAR INSTRUCTIONS
Do you think that your designer is wasting your time in unnecessary revisions?
Well, try thinking from the very beginning when you shared your ideas with him/her in the first meeting. Were you clear in your instructions that what exactly are you anticipating from that design?
Because there are 99.99% chances that the problem lies in unclear instructions. So, fix that and you’ll find his services 100% useful and up to your expectations.
Tip: If you’re really not sure what are you seeking in your design, simply ask the designer. Because there’s a high chance that the solution to your problems is in that creative mind.
CREATIVE RESTRICTIONS
This one’s important!
Suppose, you’re not allowed to speak neither you can use hand gestures and you’re tasked to describe a big elephant. Would you be able to communicate the elephant’s shape properly?
This is the kind of challenge a designer faces when he’s bound not to perform majority of creative rituals. If you want to see his real creative work, open the artistic playground for him and see how he operates in his full spirits.
NON-APPRECIATING CLIENT
Creativity depends on sharing the ideas and suggestions to most extent.
But when you restrict yourself to QA part only, the creative part is restricted and jeopardizes the whole design project. And the designer feels great tension on his shoulders when he’s just left with all the thinking, testing, and redesigning stuff.
Nope! You don’t need to take the designing mantle but you can listen to the suggestions and recommendations he has to share with you, can you? Because this is the smart way to work through tough situations and get the best design.
STAYING RELEVANT
One of the key responsibilities of a designer is to craft a design that is relevant with your business.
As you move forward in your designing journey, you might be fascinated by so many designing ideas. Don’t forget that you only need to choose that is relevant for your business. Because if you don’t, you’ll unintentionally make things tougher for your designer and end up with an irrelevant design.
