15 Awful Mistakes Made by Designers in the Music & Apparel Industry - 1 of 3
July 25, 2008 – 11:12 am | by J. RodriguezI was stumbling through some articles on the net when I came across one written by on of the staff /writers over at GoMedia that caught my attention.
This article really explains on how much time a designer dedicates to a client when doing a special Job.
Whether it be a logo, T-Shirt Design or a Flyer no matter what it is "we designers" have to sketch up is time consuming. They First have to realize that…
1. We know how to design what they need because not only we know the programs that are needed, but we also know how to use the program(s).
2. 75% of the time we can meet deadlines. Just as long as they’re brought to us with a considerate amount of time to work on.
3. The Client also needs to know that when they bring us a job that needs to be done yesterday….they are gonna get charged extra for the job simply because we either need to push other jobs aside and do their job, and we as the designer will need to dedicate countless hours on their jobs with ump-teen (sp?) times of proofing involved.

Designers in the music and apparel industry are some of the most talented designers around. I’m willing to bet there isn’t a sector of graphic design that allows more creativity and more artistic freedom. Despite the amazing talent and style, the “scene” suffers from a few fatal flaws that need to be remedied. If you’re a designer and your client base consists mostly of bands and clothing companies (myself included) then you need to read this.
I’ve interviewed eight of the premier designers in the music and apparel industry. Each designer had lots to say about the subject and spoke from their own experiences as well as what they observe in the design community. I’ve compiled a list of 15 mistakes and summarized the key points for each. I decided to split this into 3 posts because there is just so much information to take in. Parts 2 and 3 will be available soon.
