So yesterday I sat in one of my first client meetings, and got to see some of the dynamics between designer and client. I learned how important parameters were, and sometimes how tight they can be (particularly in terms of money). I also saw how sometimes politics can dictate design and how all the little details need to be considered and planned before any design even occurs. This was (and is) a lot different than doing a class project with parameters — how generous do they seem now! Yet this all just reminded me how graphic design is also about compromising — finding the best solution for both the client and designer. There is so much more involved in the problem-solving process than just the design itself!

Liz, sounds like it was an eye opening expereince. Just keep in mind that parameters can also be very freeing as well as constricting. If you only have a certain amount of time or money it forces you to look at the problem in a different way. To come up with more creative solutions. You have a great staff to learn from and I am sure the experience will be a great one!
