Here’s a newspaper advert for Car-stuff.net. There will be a few different sizes and versions of this design being used for advertisements. The idea came in my sleep.. it revolves around ‘Don’t fall victim to a tintin’ cowboy…’

I recently stumbled upon an article from JustCreativeDesign and it was on point. Maybe you’d like to take a look at these worst habits, to be prepared if you’re a designer or to try and not fall into that category if you’re a client.

Here’s my three favourite ones from the post (quoted from article):

1. Wanting Great Designs for Cheap Prices

Because everyone seems to have Photoshop and know a designer nowadays, many clients tend to have a bad idea of what design is worth. While it can be ok to have low prices when you are starting out, when you are confident enough and your work is good enough you should come up with prices that make it worth your time.

Many clients also try to outsource their projects to India and other places where designers work for rock bottom prices, but you need to stick behind your work and hold out for those clients who know what you are worth. Let them know why you are the best choice!

7. Forcing you to use Poorly Designed Logos and Other Elements

Many times clients will ask you to include pre-existing logos or other design elements within the project you are working on. You will have to judge when and when not to argue this if you feel it hurts the overall design. Learning how to negotiate and inform clients on what you believe is best can be considered an art form and takes practice!

20. I Know Everything

Similar to over controlling clients, some clients think they know everything there is to know about design and what your job entails. They tend to tell you exactly what to do with your designs and can be very pushy. Sometimes you have to just deal with this, but as mentioned before don’t be afraid to give your input. I mean they did hire you because you are a professional designer right?

Please excuse the blur on the phone number. I choose who I give my card to but I don’t choose who views it on here.

This is an image I made a while ago for Nicky Boss’ myspace layout flash banner, then he came to me saying he’d like it to be the logo, so I remade it in a vector format so that Nicky can use it for whatever he likes from backs of CD’s to Billboards. Obviously some changes had to be made in order for it to work as a logo.
