In the creative industry such as professional graphic design, there are ton of unknown variables and endless possibilities, but if the project is priced on a flat rate basis vs, a time and material basis, then these tweaks and revisions need to be monitored and controlled in a professional manner.

When designing there is a constant battle of creating and editing the design, the conflict can often times get out of control and I have to admit that many times I will judge how much the editor and creator will fight each other based on how much money the project is bringing to the studio.

For the most part I do aim to design “better” with each new design. I love the saying from the advertising industry that says that you are only as good as your last ad. But, I have seen another reason why I think bad work exists, and that is from the client in the final approval stage.
