Should We Educate Our Clients?

February 12th, 2008

I have been thinking about this question for the last couple of weeks. I have been working with a client who has a rather limited exposure to the world of design other than some interaction with a freelancer (who works within MS publisher) that, from what I can tell has had no actual training. Without getting into too many details, the client is blissfully unaware of how to work with a vendor in a typical or even ideal manner. At one point things had spun horribly out of control with the client rejecting every comp we presented with no justification other than they were not bright enough and the logo needed to be at least two times bigger. There were far more issues than this that I would not like to get into here, however at this point every bone in my body was screaming run, run as fast as you can and let someone else (anyone else) tackle this mess.
