A designer friend finally turned me on to the secret

Post by zihadhasan019 »

Take the original proposal and make some modifications you can live with it. At first, I have to admit that this seemed like cheating. If you just tweak a couple of colors and fonts and act like it's a whole new proposal, isn't that a bit shady? Well, no, and here's why. First, what amounts to "just tweaking" for you only seems easy because you're a professional.


Second, every one of us, in the process of creatin france email list g anything, inevitably makes choices along the way. Many times, we make a decision because we have to, but we could've gone more than one direction. Revisit those decision points, and use them to generate a second proposal. Ultimately, you'll be able to present people with options that aren't too difficult to create and still maintain your integrity. What if They Mix and Match? There's another worry people have with this approach, and it is justified in some cases, if a bit overblown.

What if you present two options, and your target audience mixes and matches in ways you can't live with? This could be true for designs as well as sales proposals. The complicated answer is that you eventually learn to engineer your choices in a way that makes mixing-and-matching a bit more palatable. The short answer is: So what? Would you rather have a discussion about how Element B doesn't fit Site A and have to get creative or have your client tell you why Site A sucks and they don't want to pay you? If you can get your client to mix-and-match, then at least they're telling you what they like.
