  • Stop Designing for Your Client. Start Designing for the End User.
    Too many Graphic Designers forget one brutal truth. Design is NOT for you, your portfolio, or even your client. It’s for their audience. Period. The client pays the bill, sure. But they’re not the one your work is for. And every time you forget that, your design gets weaker. Less effective. Easier to ignore.This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we’re calling out one of the biggest blind spots in design: the end user. We break down why obsessing over client approval is killing your impact, your confidence, and your portfolio! And how to flip that mindset before it wrecks your career.From billion-dollar branding flops to ego-driven design disasters, we expose how even the biggest companies forget who they’re actually designing for and why smart designers never make that mistake twice.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why pleasing your client doesn’t mean serving their goals- How to shift from design decorator to design translator- The red flags that prove you’re designing for approval, not impactIf you’re tired of chasing trends, bending to bad client opinions, or wondering why your work isn’t landing, this is your wake-up call.If you’re designing to impress other designers, or to stay on your client’s good side, this episode is the slap you need.Because at the end of the day, design starts and ends with the end user.Ignore that, and you're just making things pretty.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?
