The 5 Hats of Graphic Designers
This week David Airey guest blogs at Liz’s Successful Blog, with his post The 5 Hats of Graphic Designers.
In a nutshell, the five hats are: problem solver, teacher, graphic designer, manager and sales person.
Take away all hats except for graphic designer, and you’ll soon understand why running a logo contest often fails to come up with a suitable design solution.
To get a successful end result you need to work with the whole. Five hats will get you there.
