WOW, well written, fantastic point Paul.

Two great points “having a process” and “doing research” at the start of a project.

I make these two things apparent BEFORE kicking off a project as well as it helps sell me as someone who knows what they are doing.

However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, engineering, cowboy coding and graphic design).

I agree that we can no longer play the role of client being the royalty and designers as the servant. Designers need to take control of the situation, be it demanding clients, difficult or clueless ones. That's the way to get your message and objective across effectively. If designers know their job well, communicate with clients and get them involve, keep them well inform and show them what you got to keep them happy. I have been happy with every project and have never disappointed by the services provided by Logo Design Creation. Great service great support and even better prices. Can't find a better deal for design work. I have used the site for a number of logo (static and animated) and website (simple 5 page - complicated 10 page sites) projects. Each time the Logo Design Creation staff have been creative and imaginative in the design phase, and fast, accurate and professional in the revision phase - no matter how long it takes. And they are patient, helpful and more than accommodating with changes, upgrades and other special requests. I highly recommend Logo Design Creation for their cost effective approach to web related design and creation services. What an interesting article on designer’s relationship with clients.
