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.

I love when I get a new client and the website they have is hideous, I begin to show what I believe if fresh new professional designs and “now” all of a sudden they become critics, and start interjecting design decisions that complicate the process. In rare occasions after I try and educate them a bit I win some battles, but that is rare mostly I give in and just try and do whatever they want done so I can bill the project out.
