We recently had the pleasure (or pain) of working with a fairly new client. Said client decided to contact ourselves and ask us to get involved with them on the marketing (including design) of a product that they would like to promote/sell/get to market whatever way you want to say it!
From a very early stage we should have heard the alarm bells ringing!
"Not really sure what we want - can you do provide us with a few ideas?"
In principle not a problem as we generally pride ourselves in our ability to understand the brief and get inside the clients head with regards to target audience etc. etc. However what is it that allows someone, once you present 2 fairly professional and effective design solutions, to say to you:
"It's really not what we were looking for. My son has a PC and it has powerpoint. What do you think of this for a design?"
Time to leave the building - no amount of money will make me want to work with them! Or..... should we swallow our design pride, suck it up, nod our heads and deliver a job which we will get pretty well paid for?
