What?
Love Thy Client by AIGA, the Professional Association for Design. A panel discussion among professionals from the corporate, nonprofit and entrepreneurial sectors about what it’s like to work with design partners. Sometimes the logo does need to be bigger, but probably not for the reason you think. First-hand insights were shared on how clients and designers can build trust, communicate openly and respect each other’s roles, like they would in any great relationship.

Why?
A glimpse into the client mindset. Bad ones, good ones and ones we tend to gloss over – the chemistry between client and designer.
Clients and designers might agree on a brief but don’t always see to eye to eye. We’ve all read the “things clients say” memes. We’ve all been to talks by designers for designers where a difficult client is the running joke. But it takes two to tango!
