For some reason, ADs (not all) feel like they need to justify their position by putting their finger in the the pie too deeply, as if letting you do a great job and then taking credit for it was not enough. These days, with stock photography and illustration and the ever present internet, if a client can't see it finished, they can't visualize it at all. I stopped letting them visualize anything that I didn't want to render. Seems to be working pretty well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975643397065262440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-88898246178672159052013-07-20T08:40:08.421-06:002013-07-20T08:40:08.421-06:00Great post.

If you give more than one option, you subconsciously tell the AD that you are not sure which is best and that THEY should choose. Bad idea. Don't let them have any more control of your work than they need to fulfill the problem. They hire YOU because they can't do what you do .

I don't know if it is a lack of backbone, or where the balance comes in, but to a degree there has to be a balance between realistic efforts to please a client, and valuing yourself and your work. Great write up, thanks. Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091176907592738156noreply@blogger.com
