I found a link to this video when swiss-miss posted Jennifer Hirsche’s ‘Evolution of Type Taste,’ which in my opinion is a great idea in and of itself. But the main inspiration for my post today on this rainy SoCal Friday comes from the comments when someone posted a link to the ‘font conference’ video from College Humor.
Good Client/Bad Clent
Monday, February 1st, 2010When the subject of ‘clients’ comes up among designers, more times than not it is followed by horror stories of the cliché client from hell who demands outrageous things with outrageous deadlines and fails to pay on time (if at all). This video from design legend, Michael Bierut of Pentagram Design tackles the subject of ‘clients’ like he does any design project – from a different perspective. He focuses mostly on what makes a good client/designer relationship rather than harking on or focusing on the bad ones.
Design Nerd Alert: if you don’t enjoy discussions about the business of design or if you don’t know who Michael Bierut is, you will most likely navigate away from this video in approximately 10 seconds after starting it. There, I warned you. For those of you who stick around to view the video, you’ll find a very candid talk about the client/designer relationship from a well-respected, award-winning design icon.
