“Please just let me do my job” is a phrase that is often considered but rarely spoken in any profession that deals with clients. This humorous price-list reflects numerically what every graphic designer thinks when a client “wants to help” with a project. Do you agree? (h/t: demilked, digitalsynopsis)

I heard a story once about a woman coming up to Picasso and asking him to draw her. He looked at her for a moment, then drew her in one stroke of his pencil. She was amazed and thanked him, then asked how much she owed him. "$5,000." He said. The woman was upset and exclaimed, "$5,000?! How could you want so much? It only took you a second!" And Picasso replied, "Madame, it took me my entire life." This really reminds me of that. As designers, it takes us a long time to become really wonderful at what we love to do. Being able to do something well quickly can take years to master, this applies to every profession. That's where the value lies--in the competence, care, quality, efficiency, etc of an exceptional craftsman (no matter the craft). You would pay more for a chair that is made well versus paying less for a chair that will easily break. So why is it different to pay more for better design? Didn't spend years of my life learning and perfecting what I do to charge $50. :P

Deep as much as underrated (right now, mine isjust the 2nd like), would deserve to be known by almost *everybody*. Clients (not only about software, but also everyday life) usually just want the result valuing it just by what is if, but .. But it's also valuable the entire process (and quality + attention), as demonstrate one computer science degree course of mine, but too few people cares of right now. Hope on its diffusion and consciousness.

all too true at least for interior design. The numbers are a bit too much but it seems that people hire designers and then distrust them and don't value the creativity and time we spend on their projects.
