WORST CLIENT STORIES - PART 2  

Dealing with clients can be a nightmare for graphic designers. Nothing sucks more than lack of payment, argumentative conversations and ultimately feeling like you’re wasting your time. It's essential to protect yourself from any potential hiccups that could come about during the client-designer relationship. Here are some helpful tips to help you navigate this tricky terrain:   

  1. Do your research. Before accepting any job, make sure you know who you’re dealing with and what they expect of you. Make sure there is an agreement in place outlining the scope of work and responsibilities so that everyone is on the same page.   
  2. Set clear expectations right off the bat – define deadlines, and deliverables and discuss payment terms. This way there won’t be any confusion or ambiguity down the line leading to potential problems.   
  3. Stay organized and communicate regularly – this will help you stay on top of deadlines and ensure that your client is always in the loop with the progress of the project.   
  4. Don’t be afraid to speak up if something isn't right – having an open dialogue with your client can save time, energy, and money by nipping any issues in the bud early on.   
  5. Lastly, never forget to back up everything – keep a record of all communications with your clients for future reference, just in case anything goes wrong during the process.   

Following these suggestions can help protect you from any potential pitfalls that can arise during client-designer relationships. Just remember: stay organized, communicate regularly, and always back everything up! Good luck!
