  • Summary

  • Poor old graphic designers. All they want is to make the world more beautiful. All the world wants is for them to be marketers, mind-readers and miracle-workers. In each episode, designers Matt Bruty and Richard Kemp take a piece of frequently-heard feedback and determine whether it’s a reasonable request, or a client clanger.

    10: Roundup Pt. 2 - Frustratingly Vague
    Mar 26 2024

    This week is part 2 of our round-up where we bang through a bumper collection of clangers. Last time we spoke about “super specific requests” and this week we’re onto the “frustratingly vague” ones:

    • “I need it to be elegance and classy”
    • “keep everything from my example but also do it differently”
    • “Jazz it up”
    • “Just play around with it”
    • “I like blue/red/green (there are endless types and shades or each colour)”
    • “Just a quick task for you…”

    9: Roundup Pt. 1 - A super specific smörgåsbord
    Mar 12 2024

    Season 1 of “Well, you’re the designer” is nearing the end. To round things off, we've swept up all the leftover morsels into an appetising two-part buffet of baffling briefs and frustrating feedback. We’ve split the resulting smörgåsbord into “super specific” and “frustratingly vague.” This week it’s the turn of the “super specific” requests, so we’re discussing:

    • “Please include this small pointless map”
    • “Replace this picture with one of the opposite orientation”
    • “Use this terrible font combination”
    • “Bullet points only”
    • “Use my grotty, badly-framed images over good quality stock photos”
    • “Use the international phone number format”
    Listen to the end to see how Matt and Rich score each client clanger.

    8: Can you fill up all that empty space?
    Mar 5 2024
    To the untrained eye, empty space around text and graphics can feel like unused real estate, or a missed opportunity to make everything bigger. But empty space is not wasted space. It can be an effective means to highlight a strong message by allowing the eye to identify it quickly and dwell on its meaning. Our designers explain how giving each element room to breathe can create a greater impact than packing the page with content.
