One of the hardest things to deal with as a Graphic Designer is Difficult Clients. I don't believe in bad clients, there are just those who are more challenging than most for one reason or another.
In this video I give you some tips for how to deal with these clients without losing your cool or your reputation.
Remember it is not Graphic Designer vs Client it is Graphic Designer and Client vs Problems!

Wow I wish I knew about your videos a while back ago. I had a "friend" who was asking for a logo design. I made the mistake of not setting boundaries and not asking for money upfront. After many revisions and hours of frustration, because he was a friend, I came out with nothing. Lesson learned.
Yeah everyone has been there
im there right now and i dont know what to do. Im so broke i feel like i cant say no. but im being run into the ground for a tenth of what someone else would charge for this
I needed this
As always excellent advice Roberto, I've gotten that horrible gut feeling when you just know, things are gonna go wrong from the start & you just got to deal with it & politely walk away!
Absolutely. Trust that gut feeling!
yeah I needed to hear that. handling some difficult people now. it was easier when I was an in-house designer but now that I'm freelance its a much harder handling them.
Great video, I always get 60% deposit. Great point on price negotiations, I always used "would you pull up to the gas station and ask to negotiate the gas price"
My service has a value like any tangible product.
Thanks. it has even more value than a tangible product! but i know what you're saying. ;)
Thanks
How to Deal with Difficult Graphic Design Clients!
Sometimes clients can be challenging but there is a way to deal without making things worse.
#Design #Freelance #GraphicDesign #WebDesign
is there another kind ?!? ;)
Ariane M lol, most of my clients are great, because I trust my gut, set my terms, always have an answer, and know what I want and need from them.
hum.
tell me you don't get the "can you make just a little change" for free that takes you 2 weeks to do?
in spite of that big billboard behind your desk that says you don't work for free? lol
Ariane M I handcuff them to a set number of revisions and say that additional revisions will have fees that i determine based on time and difficulty. So as a result they think harder about whether that change is worth spending money. When something cost money you learn what you can live with. That's why I don't own a Nikon D810 , I'd rather have the $3k than that camera.
agree :D
as much as the handcuffing sounds kinky, it's what needs to be done...
and... why would you want to have a Nikon if you can have a Rebel?!? hehehe.
Even in 2020, this is so helpful. Thanks man! When people say the amount I'm charging is high or that's a huge jump from my previous charges, makes me want to cut the phone then & there.
Glad I made evergreen content that is helpful years later
Exactly what I need while growing and developing my graphic design skills. And preparing for actually working for different clients. Stay safe and keep it up!
Your best video yet! Every freelancer has stumbled upon at least a few of these client types. You summarized so many of the types of scenarios we are prone to running into. I wish I heard this advice years ago! Thank you and keep up the excellent work, Roberto!
Thanks, I plan to cover more about the business realities of Graphic Design
Very professional advice, good work!
Thanks!
This should be apply able for my photography, decent advice as well
Very good video with a ton of good points.
Wish I had listened to this 18 years ago. :D
I had an old client of mine for whom I did many projects but recently he had a logo project & he made my life hell worked more than a week on the logo but every time he kept on changing and then at last I said to cancel the project. Ahhh fuck
Graphic design process
1 - Analise
2 - Brainstorm
3 - Concepts
4 - Development
5 - Evaluation
6 - Finalise
While that is a general outline of the process it doesn't really make things clear which is why I'll cover it in a video
ok
Super handy, thanks Roberto :D
I'm totally doing this, great advice.
Do you guys design with the client sitting next to you? I had a client to wanted to sit next to me and wanted it to be done the same day...
Great, informative video. Thanks. How should I word it when I want to deny a client?
I recommend letting them know your work load is full or that you don't think you're a good fit and could recommend someone.
Cool, thanks!
Thank you for the video Roberto! Very constructive and helpful!
Anytime
I love this kind of video's from you, i really learned a lot watching your video's! Thank you! Always quality with you :-)
my teacher linked this video to her lecture. Super helpful! Thanks!
lol, yeah, the first time I didn't big free-lance job, I did all these things wrong.
True words.
I want to ask you something....that can a Graphic Designer use other software except Adobe PhotoShop or Illustrator??? I'm using Sothink & Canva for logo design...is it ok? Can i charge money for clients? Bcz designing is designing even if we do this with Adobe or other software...
There is no limits of software you use on where you design your logos.
@@btavz14 It's one year now... yeah you are right no limitations of softwares.
I need help is a silhouette of a dog jumping like Jordan a stupid logo?
This is so helpful, thanks so much!
Thank You So Much For The Video.
what is your response to the Canada 150 contest?
David Smiley I've never heard of it I will look into and get back to you.
Hey Roberto, these videos you to as Ive recently done graphic design school. I heard you mention the graphic design process video and I'd love to see it as I found the logo one really worth while.
It's coming! Maybe before holidays maybe after.
Roberto Blake great to hear man, I look forward to it!
Being a graphics designer myself. How much should I charge to another fellow desinger for taking their project. I am having a real trouble dealing with these kind of people.
If they already quoted the client a price it'd be one thing... It's a tough call and I'm typically on the other side of this. It a
lol depends on if you consider it a client referral or outsourcing honestly...
+Roberto Blake Sir what are the basic criterias while preparing contract documents for the clients. I am feeling really hard to prepare one which would in one hand respect my work and point out the boundaries of client. If you have a sample format for it, could you please help me with mine?
