October 10, 2023 Customer Misconceptions about Graphic Designers
The misconceptions - or delusions - customers have about Graphic Designers are both flattering and absurd. These eyebrow-raising comments often leave us scratching our heads wondering 'how could they honestly believe that?

So what do customers REALLY think it is we do all day?

Strap in Angry Designers because this one is RAGE inducing. Join The Angry Designers as they channel their inner design therapists and address these misconceptions head-on!

Prepare for some laughs, some sighs, and a whole lot of "WTF" moments!

How do I get MORE! More Graphic Design work, more customers, more projects, more money? It's a question we hear ALL of the time.

September 05, 2023 Graphic Designers - To Give or Not to Give Raw Working Files
To hand over, or not to hand over - that is the question for Graphic Designers.

Shakespeare himself might struggle to answer this!

There’s an age-old debate over native file sharing, and it’s a clash of perspectives that every designer faces 🤔

Clients ask for native files for a whole number of reasons, from printing requirements to future edits and even legal compliance.

But, designers have their reservations. They worry about the integrity of their creations, loss of income and so much more!

So, how do you handle your working files? Do you willingly give them along with a ginormous side helping of trust, or do you keep your files close to your chest?

Join the bearded bros as they tackle the tricky topic of sharing native files with customers and the cases for and against handing over working files: both good, and bad!
