David Airey, guest blogging at Liz Strauss’ blog, writes a fascinating post on The 5 Hats of Graphic Designers.
Before computers entered the mix, the production of print material was firmly in the hands of graphic designers and printers. It took a very clued-in client to have any idea about the print-production process. Therefore, people were mentally prepared to pay substantial amounts for their logo designs, brochures and annual reports.
The problem solving hat that he describes can be an important hat. One that too often is overlooked. A good problem solver can really smooth out problems in a design and production workflow. Work out those problems, and productivity and morale can be noticeably improved. h/t to David Airey at his own site.
