“I want”

Posted by | Posted in Marketing and Advertising | Posted on 28-04-2011

A problem with clients is that they know what they want but don’t know the correct terminology for design. so when they meet with designers they end up getting frustrated when they don’t get what they asked for. As a designer working in the business for a few years now and I find that this is a very common problem that could be resolved with some effort on both the designers and clients part.

I have lost count at how many times I have had written requests from clients for a specific style of design; let’s say art deco when the client actually meant modern. Unfortunately there is no real way to grab the whole world and make them sit in design classes or even art history classes. So how do we resolve this common problem? Well we really can’t but what I will advise is that any business owner out there that is about to purchase a logo design or a web template design or any type of print work please do some research before you spend your time and money and someone else’s time and money trying to guess at what you really meant.

There are websites that give you the logo trends of the year and also many sites logopond, or businesses like logoshrine which you can go look at ideas or trends and use them as examples of what you like. Sending the designer you hire an example image of the styles you like help cut out a lot of confusion and a lot of wasted time on both ends. I know that when clients would send me a logo for a style they like for example the apple logo and they called it formal, I know that what they meant was more in the lines of modern.
