9 Things You Should Never Say To A Designer

If you’ve been in the creative business for a few years, you’ve definitely had your share of funny/dumb comments made by clients who don’t have a damn clue, or clients who wanted to freeload, or clients who wanted to micromanage the entire design process.

In the interest of designers everywhere, Weekly Design Grind has compiled a list of nine things clients (and everyone else) should never say to designers. Check them out below.

1.

Can you design a free mock up for me?

 

2.

Do this project for free and it will lead to paid work?

 

3.

Is this your best price? I know a designer who can do it for $XX

 

4.

Wasn't the logo already included with the website?

 

5.

I want my design to look exactly like the one on this website

 

6.

I studied art in high school, you should listen to my advice

 

7.

Can you quickly do this poster for me?

 

8.

Why do you reply to emails so late?
