Alright, I took my sig out, because I don't want this to look spammy.
I'm curious and would like all kinds of different opinions or thoughts. I have three questions....
1. When you approach a designer and decide to use them, what process would you enjoy following to get your ideas across to the designer. (I.E. Answering a premade questions sheet, just simple emails back and forth, by phone, maybe some other system you like?)
2. What are some things you could suggest, that designers could do included into your designs and pages that would make them give that extra step of quality. For example, putting custom html in your pages unrelated to the design or cropping and putting ina set of pics in a gallery...etc..
3. What makes you choose one designer over another? Portfolio? The way you get along with the designer? Word of mouth? Etc..
These questions may seem quite simple and stupid too you, however, I'd like to see the point of view of the client and how you'd best like to approach the process of having your design project completed in a timely and high quality manner.
I appreciate all replys.
Other designers, feel free to post your process with clients and thoughts on things as well, just try to keep the spammy shit to a minimum. ;-) This thread may give fellow designers some good ideas as well to improve dealing with good clients in the industry.
