    First off i think that all people feel that they are 'creative'. This leads to people jumping in and having a say at what is needed creatively.

    Secondly, there is a proliferation of creative tools that are available to people these days. Combined with people thinking that they are 'creative' this is a disaster for a visual designer.

    That same person who wants the logo bigger would probably never approach the person laying concrete for the foundation of his/her house and suggest that they change the mix, or use less water.

    I am always shocked when we have people making design suggestions to a $75 per hour designer that shouldn't be able to make any visual design suggestions.

    Make the logo bigger = I am still working out the marketing message and I need some more time.
