Video of the Week #18

July 28, 2008

This week, a friend of mine linked me a video that brought back some bad memories. Every designer knows how difficult is to deal with picky clients, who don't know what they want... instead of keeping all things simple, they want a logo here, a sign there, a title on the top.

This video portraits perfectly the struggle between client and designer, how we get to do most things they want... I said most things, not all things. I'm still willing to pick the jobs I want, not everyone that comes to me. Anyways, enjoy (if you can)! ;D

About the author

Hello, everyone! I'm Paulo Gabriel, a 25 years old designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I work as a webdesigner since 2006, but websites and blogs have been a hobbie for me since 1999. Here in Abduzeedo, I try to bring only the hot stuff for you... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts! For more cool stuff, you may also follow me on Twitter.

I am sick to bloody death of consumer culture and in this profession we're totally tied to it. I avoid advertising and the media and I'm trying to train myself to consume less...stuff. But I think you can always use your position at work to change things for the better. You just have to want to, and to be aware of what's in your sphere of influence. And you can always plant seeds of change even if you can't do it yourself. A conscious designer can push important issues up several agendas.
