Instead of saying: I’ll know it when I see it Will you, as the coach, say, “turn to the direction you believe is best”? The key to winning here is knowing who to listen to, and the coach must pick the right words. It is pretty simple for a very simple task, but it becomes progressively tough due to the blindfold and all the noise. Their teammates will try to coach them, yelling as loudly as they can to drown out the rest of the people who are giving the blindfolded person incorrect directions. A blindfolded person will try to pin a tail to a picture of a donkey as accurately as they can. There is a common party game called “Pin the Donkey”. If you like a particular design and have the whole picture in mind, you may simply tell your designer: “Please apply this design to the rest of the collaterals”, and you’ll be OK. This is useful to avoid piecemeal graphic design requests and the stress of having to ask for revisions for each document one by one.Īre you requesting changes to a social media post one week and then requesting a billboard layout the next, only to find out that they both promote the same campaign? Stressful, isn’t it? Next, you must have the entire campaign planned out, from the audience to the venues where the advertisements will be shown, the target impressions, and the schedule. This way, you and the graphic designer are looking in the same direction, both aiming to arrive at the destination. You need to follow the brand guideline, just like Moses was not exempted from the ten commandments. Solution: Please use fonts and colours that resonate with women in their 30s Why I dislike it: My target market is women in their 30s and research says they don’t respond to dark colours The ad for a new podcast is quite dark and not appealing Solution: Can you reduce the copy or use highlights? The advertisement for a new product has too many words Now, once you have answered the why, think about how the thumbs down 👎 can be a thumbs up 👍. Is it just because you don’t like it? Or maybe you believe your target market won’t respond to it?Įvery piece of graphic design that gets published has a purpose, and you, as the client or the client’s representative, must advocate for the preferences of your target market. No, I’m not gonna go on about Simon Sinek’s brilliant TED Talk, but I urge you to simply ask yourself: “ Why did I not like the design”?

And this is the best place to start learning how to provide constructive and actionable feedback that gets results. You know what? Thank you for reading this post because it shows that you are eager to work on the relationship. They are providing you with the opposite of what you want, and you are getting nowhere. You’re probably about to fire your designer, aren’t you? You’ve been so frustrated, they don’t get you! You keep repeating yourself, asking for revisions over and over again. I feel there is a deeper reason why you’re here reading this article. In short: You and your designer have to communicate, effectively. A continuous feedback loop lies at the heart of everything. The design process is a two-way street between the client and the designer. Great design does not happen by accident.
