Why do good designers miss deadlines??

Because designing anything is a creative process. And anytime you put a time limit on something creative you are setting yourself up to fail. It will be a compramise at best... at worst it will be pig awful.

Good design doesnt just happen. It evolves.

I mean seriously.. what do you people want us to do??

Example;
Say i'm working on your design. Ive just spent the day clicking, but it just doesnt look right. Im not happy with it.

Do i carry on and deliver a product that neither of us are happy with.
Or do I take it on the chin... lose time/money... and start again?

I say that a good designer who is proud of their work starts again.

And any designer who says they get it right first time everytime is lying.. or they knock out shit.
