How often do you wonder how designers think? Or at least what their perspective is? It was brought to my attention that blogging is about perspective. What????! And here I was waiting for perfect content, waiting for perfect clients and to only show what I'm currently working on and so on. Well if there is anything I've learned about design, it is that none of it is really new, it's basically all been done before and I am definitely not here to reinvent the wheel.
I simply want clients who understand the importance of a designer's role. If you say that you want "butterflies riding horses" ( lol ), well designers are probably the only people who could interpret that and you are very likely to get different ideas from different designers, and you will also get a few that should say, "no, I don't do that!" Good designers won't claim to know how to do all things. In those moments, you should definitely wonder how designers think, because we certainly wonder how our clients are think, often.
From a design perspective, we know these clients are out there and we know that design roles are necessary and extremely relevant. Designer have the ability to look at the unknown. As you saw above, designers have to be able to interpret what many clients can't tell them and visualize what has yet to be seen.
I have also learned, while doing some research, just the other day, that some designers charge $300 an hour, so when I quote you a price and you look at me like a wild beast with three heads. My three heads and I will be right there, serving you more faces than there are emoji!!!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my perspective on this topic of how designers think. Stay tuned, I have a lot of perspective, coming to you "straight outta" Tampa!
Below are a few inspirational images that can be better interpreted and meet the need of the client above, by mixing delicate fabrics, prints and textures with bold and contrasting pieces.
