I recently read an article over at The Artistic Outlaw that reminded me what designers go through when freelancing. For those of you that are graphic designers out there, or provide some kind of a service, these 5 ways would come in pretty handy if they were actually honored by your clients. James made a valid point when he said that plenty of people write about becoming better at your job, but nobody writes about how clients can become better clients.
Wouldn't it be nice if the people that hired you actually let you do your job most of the time, and paid on time? Yes, it would.
Head on over and check out the article.
This doesn't just apply to Graphic Designers. It's just has hard being a video editor and having the client tell you, "I don't really know what I want. But you guys are the creative ones, whatever you do should be alright!"
It's like, yeah thanks for the compliment, but I still need some direction!!
Yea, it's pretty crazy. This definitely applies to people who provided any kinds of services as I mentioned. A non-cooperative client is the worst thing.
