Designers:
Good Illustrators can be your monkey if they are payed enough. But its' their drawing ability plus thinking ability that makes them good.
Micromanaging people is not only an inefficient use of time, it betrays a lack of trust in the person's ability your working with - which greatly undermines the relationship.
How do you like it when a client gives you a "chicken scratch" of their design ideas for you to slavishly execute?
Will any work created in under this heavyhanded direction be worth remembering? Will this work be something people can actually relate to?
So if you work with good illustrators please try to give them the same respect you'd appreciate from your clients and they will love you.
Cheers,
An illustrator.PS: My clients have been great and I love them. Attik was awesome, New York Sun was great fun.
Everyone else... was good too...except for my brother. (See new topic: free design for family members?)
