This is a great resource for people who need to work with designers. Communication is key when you’re trying to develop a good design and this would help clients a lot. I think.
This is my favorite part of the article:
10) Don’t tell your designer how to design. That’s not your area of expertise. Give a designer your requirements and preferences, but also the freedom to create something that answers them as effectively as possible. If you micromanage a designer, they won’t be motivated to do anything but cash your check.
