Design is not a Canned Template

Reading the Cheese Experiment reminded me of my long lament that anyone with PowerPoint seems to think they are a designer. Although I find the story hilarious, I can guarantee you that some people would really like the “logos” presented. It seems to me that half of a designer’s job is educating the client on what good design actually is and why certain ideas are bad. If you’re lucky, you have a client willing to learn, if not you may end up with, well, I shudder to think about it. If it were practical, I would recommend presenting every client with a copy of The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams.
