How to Get over The Challenges of Working with Designers

Working with designers can be hard. It's easy to feel like they're just a machine, churning out designs for you that don't fit your brand or your business. But the truth is that designers are people too—human beings who want to do their best work and provide good service for you.

Here are some tips on how to make it easier:

• Treat them like humans! Don't treat them like machines or services; they'll get better results if you treat them like people.
• Ask questions! Don't assume that they know everything about your business and what you want—ask them questions! If there's anything unclear, ask what was unclear so that everyone knows what needs to happen next.

Give designers all the material they need upfront.

Give your designer everything they need before you start working together. This doesn’t mean that you should send them a 30-page binder detailing every aspect of your project, but it does mean that you should be certain about what it is that you want before asking for design work.

Giving a brief will help both parties understand exactly what the other wants out of the project, and will make it much easier for the designer to create something that meets those needs.

You can also ask for examples of their previous work, especially if this isn’t the first time working with them or if they have done similar projects in the past.

This can be helpful because it gives potential clients an idea of what kinds of styles are being used by designers at their company — and whether or not those styles would suit their needs as well.

Here's how to avoid vague briefs:

• Don't be too vague about the brief. "I want something great" is not a good brief. It's not even a bad brief, it's just not specific enough for your designer to do their best work on it. If you say that you want something great, your designer will have no clue what kind of design or style you're looking for. The best way to make sure this doesn't happen is by being very clear about what exactly you want from them and being specific about every detail needed for them to do their job properly! You should also include all of the details that are needed — anything from target audience demographics and goals/objectives down to color palettes and font choices (or whatever else applies).
• Keep in mind that designers will always have questions when they receive an ambiguous brief like yours because they don't know how much information needs to be filled in before starting work on your project. What exactly do we mean by “design” here? Who is our target market? What kind of tone should we use when introducing ourselves? These are just some examples—there are plenty more questions than those listed here! This can be stressful if dealing with clients who aren't always willing or ready to provide all necessary information upfront...but there's nothing wrong with asking questions!

Know their skill set, and consider what you might want to hire them for in the future.

When you're hiring a designer, it's important to know what type of designer you need.

Designers come in many different forms. There are graphic designers who create logos and websites; web designers who build and maintain websites; copywriters who write the words on websites or advertisements; illustrators who draw pictures for print materials like business cards and brochures; photographers who take pictures for marketing materials like product photos or stock images for website backgrounds; animators who make animated gifs (if that's your thing); 3D designers if you need something custom-made in 3D modeling software like Blender or Maya; industrial designers if you need help with an industrial product such as an electric bicycle or a new car model design; UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) designers if you want to improve how people interact with your product — these two often work together as one role but they can be separated too depending on how far along in development process is currently at when they start working together again

Talk about their expectations of you, as well as yours of them.

The most important thing to do when working with any designer is to make sure that you are both on the same page. The best way to do this is by having a discussion about expectations.

Talk about what their expectations of you, as well as yours of them, are and be clear on how those expectations will be met. It may sound simple, but it’s so easy for misunderstandings and miscommunications to happen when people are not aware of each other's expectations.

Don't let that happen! Once everyone knows where they stand and what’s expected from them in terms of communication and payment terms, then everyone can move forward together feeling good about their partnership. Also discuss what they expect from you in the future—are there specific aspects of your business or personal life that need improvement? If so, ask them how they think they could help improve those areas while keeping up with their work schedule (if possible).
