How to Deal with a Messed Up Project, A Client’s Perspective

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:03 PM PDT


Well, we see hundreds of articles from a designer's perspective but we do hardly see an article addressing issues of an employer. Today, we will be seeing things from an employer's perspective. Any relationship is a two-way street and in order for both of them to be happy, both have to give in a little bit for a smooth journey. Same goes for client and designer relationship. We have often heard designers having a difficult time in dealing with clients however; you will also see disappointed clients. In this article, we will be helping clients in dealing with a difficult situation where they have hired a designer but are not happy with his/her work.

A Confused Client

I have often seen clients who are not happy with the way designer has handled their work. Sometimes, designers do go over-the-board and end up making their client confused. When a client is unhappy, he is not necessarily unhappy with the delivered work. It could be anything. If a client has hired you to design a new logo for him, come up with one or two excellent designs instead of coming up with 8-10 ordinary designs. You are only confusing the client. A client will appreciate your effort but if he does not like your work, he will find himself in a difficult situation. The dilemma client faces here is that he has gotten the work he has asked for but he is still not happy with it. What should he do?

Precautions for Such Situations

If you don't know what do after such situations, you should be careful for the next ones. The best way to avoid these situations is to not let them happen. Before a designer starts working on your project, you both should structure a design agreement in which you can add this point as well. This agreement should be carefully planned so that there is no room left for misunderstanding.

Even after seeking precautions, if some messed up situation happens, you should be able to have a back-up. I remember a client who wanted a designer to design stickers for his brand. However, things got messy to the point that it could be undone. For his back-up resource he had UPrinting sticker printing service from where he used their free templates to design his stickers and rectify the situation.

Terms of Payment

When you are structuring a design agreement, make sure the terms of payment are way too clear. I have often seen designers and clients, not focusing much on the contractual agreements. This is not at all a good approach to work professionally. As a professional, you should jot down every important point and then both parties should sign the agreement with mutual consent.

There are two ways to hire a designer. Either you can pay him on hourly basis or you can pay him on the project basis. In such cases, you have nothing to do with the hours spent on your project. You should simple get it on the assigned deadline.

Revision Procedure

If you ask a designer, he will prefer getting paid on hourly basis. If you ask a client, he will prefer paying a flat rate for the complete project. It is very rare that a client likes each and everything in the delivered project and wants to change nothing at all. If you are agreeing to flat rate payment method, make sure you add the revision clauses in your agreement. Your agreement should completely state if you will get 2, 3 or 4 revisions. Because of this, client can ask the designer to change something he does not like without feeling bad about it.

Feedback

When it comes to creativity, everyone will have a different opinion which makes this a touchy topic. We cannot specifically blame a client or a designer for such situations. If some one is to be blamed, it should be both because either client tends to get really rude or is really hesitant about saying anything regarding the design. As far as a designer is concerned, he does not handle the criticism well because he is too attached to the work.

As a designer, if you are being paid you should not have issues in making changes in your design as per your client's requirements. Yes, clients may not be right always, however, they are the ones who are paying so obviously their say matters the most. As a client, you should not be hesitant about how you feel about the project but there is always a good way to tell it. If you think you designer cannot handle the project, you should go to some other designer.

Payment Issue

This all brings us back to the most important point i.e., if a client should or should not pay the designer if he is not happy with the work. Well, if you guys have not worked on the agreement, it should be a two way street. If a client did not get what he wanted, a designer won't get what he wants.

Conclusion

So, will you not pay to the designer for all the effort he has put it? This leaves you as a bad guy. Instead of refusing to pay, you should be upfront and let the designer know how you feel. If you have faith in the designer, give him another chance but this time, make sure you sign an agreement. The best way to avoid these situations is to eliminate any communication gaps and be open and honest with your designer.
