This is great thanks for posting it. Your words are always really helpful for designers, like me, just starting out. I really focuses in on “know how and when to say no.” I was recently in a situation with a local client who wanted much more from me than I could possibly provide. It was a difficult for me to say no because I am only a student and finding work doesn’t always come easy. Also, the work was primary to build my portfolio therefore I wasn’t being compensated.

I think the combination of not being paid and designing so much in a short time (most of the time without any direction) became very frustrating. I felt that there was more “value” to my work and because of the situation I don’t think I was designing to the best of my ability. I knew it was time to say no, but I just didn’t know “how” to say know. Now I wish I would have read up on it first . Your quote about how to get a client to better understand your situation is insightful. It’s about meeting their needs…and that’s always important to them.

Thanks for the vid too, enjoyed it.
