Why can’t the clients tell me what they want? How do I work with clients who can’t tell me what they want? Just tell me what you want.
Cal Arts students visit Blind/The Futur and ask some really great questions with Chris Do.
Key Takeaways:
—
Understand that your clients do not have knowledge of the industry language to phrase what they want.
Do not expect design clients to come in and tell you exactly what they need. Those “art director” kinds of clients can sometimes be the worst kind.
It’s your job to meet the client and use normal words to not make them feel bad for not knowing the lingo while guiding them to mutually understandable terms.
